"That is right Geeble we are individual gods not yet born. Before Oddworld the five Orbs of power traveled through space. When they converged upon each other Oddworld was thus born. I am learning in time and I was arrogant because I couldn't understand the concept of the One. but I am seeing it now. We all have to become gods in order to become the One. But first we must become the gods we once were before Oddworld existed in the Universe." Explaned Blarg.

"I am known as the keeper. The first being to watch over the rest that is why I am connectected to everything. You Geeble are the worror the one to protect us from evil. Ronan is the wise one of us. He springs forth knowledge to the inhabitants of Oddworld. Saros you are the deliver. You bring the message of piece to Oddworld. And lastly Lammey you are the travaler. You will bring the inhabitants to a new world.

Together we are the One. The One god to bring down the Nothing that has choked this land. We were cast here to be mortal creatures by the loss of our Orbs of power. I found my orb 100 million years ago and I turned into my imortal self. I was primative at the time thus makeing a walking time bomb. The orb mocks because it knows that I couldn't control this new power so it in time led me to you. It is its way of teaching."

"Well how do we become individual gods Blarg?" asked Geeble.

"Each of us has their own Orb of power. I already possess mine for I am in my true form. The creature Blarg is my godly form but I am no god yet. That is why we seek Morea. theres one more component that must be found after the rest of you find your Orbs of power. And that is why we seek Morea."

"I now understand my destany. and it is with all of you. Combined we will become the one."

"Saros is understanding this aswell. For he is the first that is transforming into a related creature such as I. Look at the wings he sprouts. When all of you came into my life it hit me like an arrow that we were connected someway all of us and that this quest will somehow fullfill my destany. I realised there is more of my kind and you are my kind. You all will eventually such as Saros will transform into your godly forms. I was always in this form because I am the keeper. For some Odd reason you changed into other species like Mudokons and the Meech. When we realised our species fate we began to realise the destany of the one. We are the One."

Blarg now understood his intensions and he knew what the rest had to do. At the same time they seek Morea for the wisdom they need to obtain from her, so that they may complete the quest of the gathering. The gathering of the five gods of Oddworld. But will the rest believe this to be so? For Saros already believes thus he is changeing into his true form.

"Does that mean we all get orb things?" said Saros

"I'm not sure, maybe," said Blarg.

"Hmm,ok, well, lets find Morea already." Saros said.

"Ok, first we must climb the sald-rock of Othor. It's a very hard climb, and might take a few days." said Blarg.

"Well, I think that if we can wait here for a while, I think I may be able to summon enough streangh to teleport us to the top of the mountain,and if I can't, I can let you ride on my back. Individually of course." Saros said looking at the size and weight of everyone.

"Sounds like a plan then," Blarg said

So when they finally got to the sald rock of Othor, they waited for a while, and finally the time came when Saros thought that he had summoned enough strength to teleport them.

"OK, i'll try to get Blarg up first, he needs to talk to Morea." said Saros. "Clear your mind Blarg, with any luck, i'll be able to get you up there no trouble..."

"No, Geeble should go first, i'll stay and help you if I can." said Blarg, sitting down next to Saros.

"Ok, Geeble your up!" Saros declared. "Clear your mind. When you get up there, throw a rock down to make sure I landed you in the right spot. And wait for all of us, don't go anywhere yourself."

Saros closed his eyes, started to chant, and started to glow. Geele started to become less and less visible until he was no longer standing there.

"Nice job Saros!" said Ronan, looking impresed.

Saros opened his eyes. The wind began to blow swiftly. He then realized what had happened...he aquired Geebles powers as he teleported him up there! He wondered if because he was a Meech, he could only use the wind, but put it in the back if his mind.

"Whoa, this is wierd!" Saros said, and he told them when he had discovered.

A rock fell from above, it was Geeble's signal that he got there ok.

"Cool! Teleport me next!" said Ronan, looking exited.

"Ok, remember, clear your mind, otherwise your brain will be left here and your body up there." Saros said.

"OH! Ok, clearing mind..." said Ronan, startled.

Saros began, in an instant, Ronan was gone.

"Maybe you get better at doing it every time!" said Blarg.

"Maybe." said Saros, breathing heavily. He was getting tired.

"Try to camoflouge yourself," said Lammy

"I'll try later, it might make me tired."

"Ok, my mind is clear, do it now." said Lammy

"Give me a minute,"

Saros was very tired, he felt as if he hadn't slept in a week. But he started to teleport Lammy anyway. Lammy was gone in a flash of bright green.

"Ok, you next," said Saros to Blarg.

"We can wait for a little longer, you look really tired."

"No, we have to get to the rest of the group, we can't be separate."

"Okay, can we teleport at the same time?"

"No, i'll just fly up."

"Okay, my mind is always clear, teleport when you wish."

Saros wanted to get up there ASAP. So he teleported Blarg with a flash, and was all alone. He rested for a minute, and then began to fly up. This took a while, but they were all waiting for him when he landed.Saros landed and slept. When he woke up, he talked to the group about what happened.

"Do you think you have all of our abilities?" said Geeble.

"I don't know, maybe I should try to do something..."

"CAMOFLAUGE!" said Ronan first.

"Ok, camofaluge..." Saros said as he walked over to a tree and sat down.

He began to meditate on becoming invisible, the way Ronan did, but nothing was working...he didn't feel any different.

"I don't think it works guys," said Saros opening his eyes. He loked down at himself, and he looked though himself!

"It works!" said Ronan. "Cool! Now we have 2 camoflaugers!"

(ooc: it that better?)

Its quite simple you guys I have been useing these types of powers for millions of years now. At first its hard to get the hang of it but as your powers settle in you will be able to do things only gods could do. For instance!"


Blarg yelled out the name of the element of water. "I summon water!" And thus a stream of water went over the hill.

"Hey Blarg do that again." said Ronan.

"I summon rock!" Suddenly out of nowhere rocks and bolders began to push up out of the ground.

"That is only half of our powers."

"Theres more?"

"Yes for instance." Blarg then began to grow in size as he became a huge vicious beast and then he shrunk back to size.

"Theres even more. We mind sweep control other minds to do our will and its only for good. We can summon elements and turn into elements aswell as transforming ourselves into beasts is another ability you have. The down side of such abilities is that you will be temperally weakon by your powers. Saros that was why you were tired when you were teleporting us. We could all teleport. And yes Saros you have your very own Orb of Power. All of you do. But you have to find them like how I did eons ago. Once we have the rest of the orbs and the final component we will be able to turn into the gods we are. Now we only have some of the godly abilities but not all. Your Orb will speak to you just like mine only it will be a different personality but it will an annoying thing but thats the nature of the orbs." explaned Blarg.

"Hey cool! So if I said 'I want fire" fire would..."

As Saros said that, a great ball of fire flew in his direction. He didn't know how to use the powers he had yet.

"I summon water!" yelle Blarg, and he put out the fire that was flying all over the place.

"Do you know what this means?" said Geeble. "It means that you can do all the things that the rest of us can! You must be taught the ways of all our powers!"

So for the rest of the night, and into the morning, Saros learned the proper ways to us all of their powers. He knew everything he needed to know.

"Ok, thanks guys! I think I know how to do everything..."

He tested all that he learned, he summoned Scrabs and Paramites, he created something out of nothing, he summoned the elements, without running them wild, and everything else.

It was the second day since they had talked to "The Great One." Saros was fully rested from using his new powers, and was going to teleport over to see his kids while they were born.

"I'll be back soon everyone!" he said before he left.

"Be careful!" they all shouted.

"I will."

He teleported with a flash and was gone.

(sorry folks i had school today .... junior year is gonna suck. anywho, yes, i figure we all have diffrent experiences when reading the book of shrykull.... and some quick little notes on my camoflague power i don't change my image to look like things i change my colors like a chameleon and am practically transparent. and, if i were to drop concentration, i would drop the invisibility, so if saros were imitating me, he would've become visiblew when he was shocked at having mastered the power ... make sense? oh, and the God of Wisodom is a very flattering job... thanks!)

"So," I started. "Why can't we all learn to teach each other our abilities and skills? I mean, if we are all intertwined, we should be able to duplicate each other's powers. What do you think?"
Lammy shrugged. "I suppose. It seems like it may come in handy. Blarg? What do you think?"
Blarg nodded. "Makes perfect sense. We'll need to be able to copy eachother eventually. Now's a great time to start."
"Excellent! I think mine may be the most physically taxing, so we should start with meldi--er, camoflague."
General agreement from the others. We must've all been too bored.
I stood back and demonstrated my little talent, just as an introduction. The tree Saros had melded to was easily adapted by my skill. And, ta da, I was practically invisible. The little shimmering heat wave I left behind was getting dimmer all the time. My shadow was already down to nothing. The others clapped appreciatively. I relaxed and popped back into sight. "Camoflague is not a very ... simple art. But, as we are all ... one being, I suppose, you should master it easily. Ready to start?"
General assent and nodding.
"Good. Now, you need to clear your minds, much like when Saros needed to teleport us. Clear your minds."
They all closed their eyes, except Blarg, who "was always clear minded." When I had given them ample time, I spoke again.
"Now, the next thing is to picture the color of your skin. Not that complicated. Picture it as if everything you see is your color."
Several faces scrunched, but they quickly sorted out. Slight nods meant they were ready.
"Now, think deeply about your surroundings. Don't picture anyone being here, just think about where you are. You needn't a clear picture, but it should at least be accurate. Go ahead."
I watched their progress. After a few seconds, I saw Blargs color fading, and he quickly picked up. A few seconds later he was gone. But from being an experienced melder, I could track him like he was outlined in neon in the pitch darkness of night. Geeble, after a few failed attempts, slid into the background. Lammy had a harder time, and could only fade random patches of skin.
"Okay, you all need to keep your concentration up. Dropping concentration means dropping your camoflague. Lammy, for instance, you need to focus harder. Try not to be distracted."
We continued like this for a little while, and at last they had all successfully melded into the background.
"Excellent! You guys got it!"
I coached them in moving around stealthily and silently, so as to complete the hidden picture. This was much easier; we all played like Abe sneaking. Completely silent!
"Okay! Good work. You can drop it now. And no hiding! I'm an expert, and know where you all are."
Three loud gasps, and my companions became visible again.
Lammy nodded, clearly impressed. "You know, I never appreciated how hard that must be for you until just now, Ronan. That was quite an experience."
Geeble and Blarg enthusiastically agreed.
"Thanks," I said simply. "I've been wondering about some of your powers, Lammy. Why don't you enlighten us?"
Lammy accepted the friendly challenge. "All right, gentlemen. Let's get started ....."

(Whooo! I'm a warrior! Thanks Paramiteabe!:D)

"So, we are seaking Morea so she can enlighten us so that we're prepared to travel to Antarron. There we will be tested so we can find our orbs....right?" Geeble asked Blarg.

"Yes, but it will take us a while to find Morea. She lives in another dimension around these parts and is constantly moving," answered Blarg.

Then Geeble felt something tug at his heart. Everyone sensed it as well.

"What is that?" asked Lammy.

"The nothing is drawing near from the sea. All of you, go.....I'll slow it down."

"We have to stay together," Ronan yelled to Geeble as he dissapeered into the mist of the swamps.

Geeble walked towards the ocean and an evil black figure rose from the sea.

Geeble ran towards it and jumped inside it's being. Then they both dissapeared into nowhere.

Saros had allready made it to Mudos to see the Meeches born, but as he walked he saw his earlier prophesy of Geeble dying entered his brain and knew it had come true!

Saros was with his new babies! HE was so exited! There were about 10 of them, 5 boys and 5 girls! He already gave them names too! Geeble, Ronan, Lammy, Blarg, and Saros JR. were the boys, and Gardle, Sawns, Andle, Sanct, and Arnys were the girls! We hadn't felt this happy in a long while! He was going to have to go soon, but the Muds what lived in the cave with the great one would take care of them. He was going to stay as long as he could. They were sweeking in Meech, it was so cute! He loved them so much! He decided to teach them how to speak Native languge and Meech! He was just letting them take a ride on his back when...He saw Geeble dying as before, but this time he knew that it was happening right now.

(Oddguy Morea doesn't live in another demension she lives well hidden in the swamps. And she is enormous and ancient and also Arrogant. She believes there is like two of her as one and she is sort of senile and grumpy and always wants to be alone to sleep. Just thought I let everyone know. I will introduce her there is a certain way I like to introduce her into the story so wait on that.)

(ooc: Paramiteabe! You don't even care that Geeble died! You should be lamenting as we speak! I can't believe you! :crying: Poor Oddguy! I mean Geeble! Oh well.)

The anger surged through Blarg for the death of Geeble. He cried out loud.

"GEEBLE!"


Suddenly the ground began to shake and move as it interupted his grieving. A mound rose out of the ground and a low moaning noise came from within. Blarg knew this something liveing.
Suddenly its face came out of the mud. The enormous worm squrmed its way out of the mud. 50ft in size it blocked Blarg's path. Blarg knew he was in the presance of Morea.

"Who disturbes our sleep?" yawned Morea.

"It is I the Creature Blarg. You are Morea the Ancient One?"

"Maybe we are maybe were not whats it to ya?"

"We need your help!"

"For eons we lived for many lives." replied Morea.

"Who?"

"Me and myself. But whats it matter to ya?"

"We need your help."

"Help what sort of help?"

"We need advice on how we can find the Sword of Darkon. Please our comrad Geeble has been lost by the monster called the nothing."

"Thats some story you have there. Nothing matters!"

"Please help me!"

"Go away nothing matters. We don't care about you!"

"If you don't care you will die!" yelled Blarg.

"Die? Now that is something."

"Help us!" Blarg cried out.

"Leave us you annoying bug so we can sleep!"

"Please help us! You here that? The nothing is comming!"

"If it will leave us alone then we shall help. You will have to find the orbs of power before you enter the Northern wilderness. They are scattered on a Continent known as Crilas. Crilas I warn you though is a dangerious place locked in civil war. Demons of all kinds hunt the lands. Monsters roam and evil exist. You will have to fight in order for your friends to find their orbs of power. You Blarg can bring your friend back to life because you are the Keeper. Now leave us alone and let us sleep!" explaned Morea as she went back into the mud and snored.

(oof! I only just read of geebles death ... i hate high school! anywho, may i ask what happened to our teaching eachother our abilities? just wondering ....)

So, we wandered off, back the way we had come. Down to the swamp where we had lost Geeble. Then Blarg stopped. "Ronan," he said, "you're supposed to be the master of wisdom among us. How about explaining exactly what all of our properties are?"
I was a little surprised at the sudden request. But, strangely, it seemed to be no problem. I guess being The Wisdom has these advantages.
"Well, it's pretty much what Blarg had said not long ago. Blarg, you are The Keeper, the first living being in ... well, the universe. You are connected to everything, and can manipulate anything you need to, like the elements--like your fire and water summoning. It is for this reason that Morea says that you can bring Geeble back to life. You control life ... but not death... In any case, you can revive lost souls with little to no effort. But I do believe that you can only do it so many times to one entity. Hopefully, it will not effect our conjoined destinies." Blarg seemed satisfied, and proceded to ask how exactly he does it. "You simply .... uh .... I think you need to focus your mind on the one you want to revive, and ... chant. I'm going to warn you, though, I'm having issues seeing this particular task, let alone seeing it work. Go for it."
Blarg nodded and closed his eyes. It was obvious he was concentrating hard. Then, abruptly, he lifted his arms and chanted. Within seconds, we saw a spirit-like form of a very, very young Geeble swirl up from simple nothingness. He seemed to be a little relieved to have been found after his uncomfortable disappearance.
"Hello there!" Geeble chuckled. He was actually a pretty decent looking guy, now that he was a spirit. "I take it that Blarg learned of one of his specific powers. But ... Ronan, I believe you need to be the one to construct a new body for me." Blarg opened his mouth to protest, but Geeble silenced him with a ghostly hand. "I know that you are in charge of life, but Ronan controls science. Therefore, he needs to be the one to create a body."
I realized ... he had to knock that off! "Stop reading my mind!" I joked. "It isn't very nice." I proceded to chant and raise up materials from the ground. I was working with my chant to model a new, younger, stronger body for Geeble.
Geeble spoke, though. "Oh, but I find your mind so comfortable, so spacious. How can I possibly go anywhere else?"
We all laughed, as the body was completed.
"Now," I began, "we just need Saros to deliv--"
Without any warning, Saros appeared. "Everyone! Geeble is dead! We need to find a way ... to ... revive ...."
We all looked at him. Lammy spoke up after a brief silence. "Ronan was just saying that it is your job to deliver Geeble's soul into this new body. I guess you need to chant to do it."
Saros, surprised, merely nodded and promptly began to chant. Geeble, smiling, faded, and the body immidiately jolted upright.
"Excellent!" The new and improved Geeble said. Trying out his new limbs, he spoke again. "Now, Ronan, I do believe you were describing our powers in detail." He didn't seem the least bit worried that he had spent several hours dead.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," I interjected. "What about you? Tell us what you saw! It may have a hint to help us defeat the Big Nothing."
Geeble smiled. "No, no. You finish first."
"Doesn't anyone want to know what I named my little Meechie babies?" Our resident Proud Parent was eager to tell us of his new children.
Lammy jumped. "Oh, yeah! How are they?"
Saros went into a winding speech about his wonderflu children--named wonderfully after the five of us :fuzsmile:. After his little speech, he prompted me to continue.
"Well, Saros the Gabby," I said playfully, "You are The Deliverer. It is up to you to restore what is lost physically, as you did with Geeble's soul. Furthurmore, it will be by Your Word that the civilizations of Oddworld will again be as one. Your Word will be what ultimately ends the civil unrest among the nations."
Saros found this satisfactory; his newfound post as Father of His Species must've made him more willing to join all races as one.
"Geeble, you are The Warrior. That means that in times of dire need, you will be the one to come through and help us all. This we saw when you sacrificed yourself to stop the Big Nothing before. You are the most capable of us all to deal with the nothing." Geeble instantly let this to his head, and I quickly had to lower the swell: "But this doen't mean you can stop it alone. We require your might and courage to act as a beacon in our Dark Hours." Geeble, always ready for a challenge, smirked proudly.
"Lammy, you are The Traveler. You job is to guide all races together. It will ultimately be you and Saros who unify the planet. You will lead all nations not only to prosperity, but also to a refreshed, cleaner, greater Oddworld." Lammy seemed to be a little upset at this, so I immidiately thought deeply ... what else could he do? What other use does he have?
The others seemed to sense this, too. They clammed up, hopefully trying to think up an answer to my conundrum.
"AHA!" I cried suddenly; it hit me like a ton of bricks. "Lammy, you were Abe in a past life! You can communicate with and lead any and all races. Anyone, anywhere, will instantly do what you say ... provided that you want to only help, not hurt. Does ... that seem reasonable? It's all I could find." Lammy felt much better after this; the prospect of having actually been Abe must've been an extrodinary confidence booster. He no longer seemed glum.
"And lastly, me. I am The Wisdom. I am ... well ... the deepest thinker of us, although I may not be psychic, like you all. I know much of what there is to know about all of us, and I do believe that our fates have never been seperate; we were only separated physically. Lastly ... I can teach anything. To anyone. It's just that simple." I laughed. "I may as well say 'Work,' and whoever I am talking to will know just what to do and how to do it." The Abe reference made us all laugh, which was a much needed feeling after such a trying day.

As I had spoken, we all hiked down th mountain. We reached the bottom, where we had landed in the orb. I took in the salty air and spoke.
"Blarg, where are we headed? Crilas?"
He nodded.
I pointed out across the ocean. "I think it's that way. We should get going."
General agreement. We were teleported into the Orb, and sped off across the sea.

(Ummm. I was going to do a sorta "Obi Wan" deal with Geeble. Ya know, have him be a spirit and bring Raisin on the team and such.)

-oddguy:fuzcool:

(oops .... uhh well ... i dunno aything about anything :fuzconf: ... i can go back and get rid of it .... who thinks i should?)

You don't have to. Part of RPG is adapting to everyones ideas.

-oddguy:fuzcool:

While we were speeding across the oceans, headed toward Crilas, Geeble and I agreed that it was time for the others to "read" the books of Shrykull. Blarg was the first to speak up: "I've been wondering exactly what the book was about. Let's get to it!"
Geeeble and I shook our heads.
"You don't read the book. You live it," Geeble said. "When I opened it for the first time, I was gone for three seconds, but to me it felt like an entire lifetime."
"And I simply felt as if I was falling and spinning .... it was almost endless," I said. "When it had ended I felt refreshed, like a new Mud. I knew so much more than I had it was frightening. As it so happens, we will all have very diffrent experiences within the book. But even I don't know what each of us will see. You'll need to 'read' the book yourselves."
Everyone generally agreed, and we drew straws to see who would read first, as they all wanted to read it first.
The short straw went to .... Lammy!
Geeble produced the book, and handed it over to Lammy. He took it, grinned, and opened to the first page. Then, in a flash of orange light, he vanished. I had just enough time to think, "Whoa ... That was cool" when he flashed back into sight.
(ooc: complete the sentence, Hobo) Lammy stood near the closed book, and he looked ______________________.
Smirking, I said, "Well, Lammy. What did you see?"

Meanwhile as they were flying over the ocean once again headed for the Continent of Crilas, something a beast of fire was formed out of the nothing to persue our heroes. The beast was emense in size and it was called an Odd Dragon. The Odd dragon took flight as it screamed across the sea persueing Blargs orb it began to breath fire as it got closer. The group dident realise it until they felt shakeing and heard the beast.


"What is that?" said Blarg he left the circle of his friends to check it out. Blarg opened a window so he could see the outside world. His eyes widen as the 80 foot Odd Dragon approched. The eyes of the beast stared at Blarg and through the eyes was Mudos and the nothing. Suddenly the creature started attacking the orb as Blarg went back to his friends.

"Guys I think you better take a look at this!"

"Not now Blarg we are looking at this book!" yelled Geeble.

"Screw the book for now we will look at it later we have more inportant issues at the moment!"

They laughed at him. Blarg was fustraited so he opened a new window through the fabric of his orb as he taped Geeble on the sholder.

"What is it now Blarg?"

The group turned around as they moved backwards in fright. The beast flying in place flapping its wings stared down the group. The Odd Dragon howeled and it began to attack.


"We have to do something. We have kill the beast!"

"You don't think I know that?" yelled Blarg I was trying to get your attention. quickly out of the orb!"

"But we are over open water!"

"We can hover don't worry. We will battle this beast!" Move!"

Our heros were once again teleported out of the orb now to defend it. The beast beckons as it flys in front of our heros. Ready for battle our heros prepare.

As we teleported out of the orb, We floated a good foot over the water. The Oddragon (OOC: i like Oddragon better than Odd Dragon, so that;s what i call it) preparing to strike at us. I thought and thought ... what can we possibly do to stop an oddragon?
Then it came to me! "Guys! The oddragon's weak point is it's eyes! It's almost completely invulnerable to magic-based attacks. Therefore we need a bit of physical power."
This seemed to entice Lammy, who had once boasted his quickness with fists and feet to us during a long walk. "Great," he said. "I think I'll be able to climb to it's head if someone can hold it still."
Two things happened to me simultaneously. Firstly, the oddragon struck me in the side of the head with its ominous tail, and I went reeling. I had barely landed when I felt a searing, burning pain erupt on my skin, and I knew I was on fire! The oddragon had taken advantage of our moment of silence and struck.
I had two options: Let myself fall into the water to cool the fire and drown, or I could stand and redirect the fire on my--what?
I was suddenly filled with the notion that I could manipulate the fire on my body and launch it at the dragon. Would it work?
I quickly climbed to my feet, no longer caring about the pain. The others were horrorstruck at my sudden injury. They were sitting ducks under the raging oddragon! "MOVE!" I cried. They came back to their senses in time to avoid a wave of fire spreading across from the oddragon's mouth towards them.
"Summon fire!" I called, and all the fire spreading away and it was concentrated into a small orb hanging nearby my right hand. But ... it wouldn't be enough to throw a ball of fire at the oddragon.
I managed to dodge a swinging claw as I calle to the others: "I have a plan! Blarg and Geeble, try to use your power to hold him in one place. Lammy and Saros, I need you to summon up elements like wind and fire to battle the oddragon's fire. Understand?"
As we were all dodging an onslaught of attacks, these sentences came out in jagged breaths. But I heard assent from all of my partners, and we could begin. I displaced the fire in my hand, and summoned the water beneath me.
A slight tug in my chest caught me off guard, but I still kept focus.
"Remember, aim for the eye!" I called.

In a flash of light, the oddragon was struck in the eyes with fire. It screamed in pain as it's brain exploded. The body then flew into the air and crashed back down into the water.

"Wow!" everyone exclaimed!

"How could we use the elements without the evil mimicking it?" Saros asked.

Geeble chuckled. "You all read the books of Shrykul. The evil can't mimick attacks from potential Gods."

"Cool!"

Well, our heores finally made it to Crilas, where each would take the test to become Gods and locate their orbs. But first they had to make their way into the heart of the jungle and climb the peak of Cloor. The problem was that evil had polluted the minds of many beasts. The creatures were full of rage and ready to slaughter anything. Would they make it?


-oddguy:fuzcool:

"So. We are here on Crilas, and need to hike to the top of Mt. Cloor, while avoiding the rabid creatures that would kill us as soon as look at us in our way. Does this seem completely insane to anyone else?" Saros made this speech, followed by several similar comments, as we trekked across the beach and into a wooded area.
The various creatures looked like they may be relatives of common creatures on Mudos. Paramite-like beasts that had only three legs, but had grown several more face fingers and thin red fur. There were meepish creatures with five legs, three eyes, and two tails. There were scrabs just like at home, though, and likewise were the ratz, bugs, and byrdz.
Then there were creatures that almost defied explanation. There were large, red, leafy plants that would suddenly jerk up and eat passing animals. Little balls of flesh bounced about, and protruded spikes when provoked. Meetles and mugs crawled around, eating their respective foods. We even found a few land-dwelling gabbits hopping around. They avoided us, and we avoided them.
Lammy stepped in some kind of pile of sticky goop, and it was clearly animal poop. We chuckled and pointed, as he groaned and wiped off his foot with a leaf off of a nearby plant. I decided to look at the plant he had gotten it from. It was one of the red plants that ate nearby things. Good thing I looked, too, because The Wisdom kicked in: that was a blugflyer! And it was very angry at having its leaf plucked off.
"Lammy! Jump left!" He looked up, saw my face and knew in an instant I meant it. Just as the blugflyer lunged forward to devour him, Lammy leapt to his left, barely dodging the plant. Blarg and Geeble spun toward the beast and summoned fire and energy, respectively. Saros summoned water, and Lammy stood, now armed with a pair of roughly broken, pointed sticks, ready to fight back. I had stepped back and began to chant, using a rather old technique I picked up (ooc: check my character description). After a fraction of a second, several nearby mugs fell under my control, and I had them march over toward the blugflyer, and prepared to attack.
The blugflyer, as I was told by The Wisdom in me, did not possess higher-level thought. It could not comprehend that we were a threat; it only thought in terms of "eat whatever moves near me."
Geeble spoke: "Jump 'em!" And so we did. The blugflyer probably didn't know what it. The mugs I controlled surrounded the little spot in the woods, and closed in on the blugflyer. Lammy jammed his spears into its fleshely underside, and Saros, Blarg, and Geeble launched their attacks. The blugflyer was too busy trying to decide what to attack first when it was finally overcome by the force of the mugs pressing against it. We all heard a squeal, and a loud ripping sound. I released my hold on the mugs, and they instantly began to eat the meaty goodness the blugflyer left behind. The Wisdom had told me that all blugflyers where connected by a network of roots underground, and that the 'queen' blug was the center point. The queen was always on the highest part of the area, which happened to be .... Mt. Cloor!
"Guys!" I said, as we started off again. They stopped, and I told them what I had seen, and that the central queen was actually towards our right. Looking genereally embarrased, we all turned and began to the mountain.

(ooc: oddguy! how do you do that marquee thing in your signature?)

I use the html marquee tag. It looks like this minus the spaces of course:

Starting tag: < m a r q u e e >
Ending tag: < / m a r q u e e >

Just type the words you want in between the tags and enjoy scrolling text baby! You can also add colors and font size in between as well.

The downside of the marquee is that it's getting on people's nerves right now, so use with caution!:eek: I'm getting rid of mine after voting is over.:fuzblink:

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Blarg had his orb thus he dident need to climb the mountain. But he knew in his mind which once provoked him to go after something that he knew envitably he was destined for. He knew he had to complete his test which eons ago he learned but forgotten because he was Mortal whome possessed the ability of a god with the finding of his Orb. The same with the others. It was as if he finally remembered his test inwhich he forgot to take eons ago when he found his orb. The others had similar tasks at hand but each was different individually for each of them.

"Guys I don't need to climb Mt Cloor. I have my orb as you all know. I must fullfill something that is part of my personal destiny. Like you each of us have personal destinys but each of our destinys are one. We are going to be split for awhile until you all find your orbs and complete your tests. I found mine eons ago but I have forgotten about our tests because I was mortal with the ability of a god inwhich Morea told me. It is your turn. This continent is in civil war and as the Keeper I must investigate this war. But you know what your tasks are. Look for me on the sixth day at dawn on the beach. You all will have your Orbs and thus we will head for Anteran where we will find the final componant the Sord of Darkon! Thus transforming us into the gathering of the great gods of Oddworld. We then will combine our powers and become the one."


"Your saying we have to go our seperate ways to find our own Orbs?" asked Saros.

Blarg looked at him "Yes Morea told me, each of us has their individual test. And I am ahead of you. I need to finnish off my test before the sixth day. The same with all of you. Each of you will be faced with a trial and each of you will have to endure it and I know all of you can. Remember the sixth day look for my comming. That is all I will say!"

And just like that Blarg took flight as he hovered above his friends and left temperarely to persue the rest of his personal test. The rest had to climb Mt Cloor to start their individual tests. They did not quite understand Blargs intensions so one of them decided to follow Blarg to see what he had to do but in the same process complete his test.

Saros and the others just watched Blarg's orb float into the distance till they couldn't see it any longer.

"So, what about MT. Cloor? Are we gonna go fight the blugflyer or what?" said Saros.

"Yes, we have no choice but to fight and win over the mountain, then we will look from the highest mountain in oddworld to find the areas where are orbs lay." said Geeble, trying to sound calm about facing the Blugflyer and finding their orbs.

"OK then, lets go! I'm so ready!" said Lammy.

"Yeah, we have to hurry! I't important that we find our orbs and meet Blarg before the 6th day! It's not a long climb, just a hard one, wont take more that a day or two." said Ronan

They climbed up the mountain for a few hours, and finally the mountain started leveling out. They could see the head of the Blugflyer moving in the sunlight.

"We are nearing the summit!" said Geeble

They took a break for a while, and started up again. When they got there, the Blug queen was asleep, or so they thought...

"Maybe we can sneek past it." Ronan suggested.

"No, Blugflyers have incredible smell." said Geeble

"NO, we could just walk as far away from it as posible and camophauge..."

"I don't think so, we could just burn it to death or something..." said Saros.

"Fine, we'll do it your way." said Ronan, realizing defeat.

"OK, when I count to 3, we're all gonna set it on fire," said Geeble, "Ready? 1...2...3!"

They all struck the Blug, but it was ready for them. It hit one of the balls of fire back at them with it's leaf. They all scatered out of the way.

"That's not gonna work Geeble," said Saros "Were gonna have to try something else. Try confusing it, were all gonna teleport around it. Lets all try to use the wind and cause a tornado!"

So they teleported all around it a few times, while focusing on the wind... there began to be signs of a tornado coming.

"It's working!" said Lammy

Soon the Blug was being ripped out of the ground by the powerful winds that they all caused. Then they sent the tonado to the ocean and the Blugflyers were no more.

"Fantastic! Working together really works!" said Saros happily.

"Well, if we're all ready to find our orbs, lets do it." said Lammy.

They stood upon the highest peak and looked for their orbs...

"We all have individual colors, so just look for them. ANd we're all staying till we all find each other" said Geeble.

"OKay, mine's Green, so if you see green, tell me please!"

"Yes, mine will be orange..." said Geeble.

"Hey, Saros! I see something green over there." said Lammy.

"I see mine."said Geeble.

"Thanx Lammy. I think I see something yellow over there. Isn't that your Lammy?" said Saros.

"Yeah, thanx."

"Now where's mine?" said Ronan.

"There it is! it's over there Ronan." said Geeble.

"Ok, were all meeting at the beach of Narmond in about 5 days." Ronan said.

Alright everyone, good luck!" said Ronan.

And they teleported in a flash of their orb colors.

Saros landed at the foot of a mountain. There was a cave at it's base. He entered. The cave was dark, so...

"I summon fire!" he said. The cave imeadiatly lit up.

He walked for a while, rested a little, and then continue on. He finally saw a Greenish glow down the tunnle of the cave. He wondered what evil awaited him down there, but continue on anyway. He kept on, and finally found his way to the open room in the mountain. He saw the evil shadows that had attacked Geeble. He turned off his ball of flame, as not to be seen. He was trying to figure how to get his orb and teleport out of there, but he couldn't teleport up there and then teleport again a million miles away, he woundn't be able to teleport back if he did that. And he coun't get in his orb and glide away in it, becuase it took to long to get in. So, he planned an onslaught to destroy the shadow-men once and for all. He began to meditate, and was going to attempt to possess one of the shadow-men. A bright green possession orb began to appear. The light wounln't be noticed, the room was bright green anyway. He sent it to the nearest shadow-man, and it possessed him! He was seeing as the shadow-man see's, hearing what the shadow-man hears. It was odd. But the shadow-man began to fight back! So he took it around the corner of the hill, and exploded it. Hmmm, I don't know what to do. I can't use the elements, cause they'll use it against us later. So he thought for a while, and it came to him. I'll teleport one of them to somewhere so I can use their powers against them! So he teleported one of them, but only an inch. The shadow-men were startled, but they spotted him and began to sent their dark magic towards him. He sent his new powers toward them, and they dissolved as soon as it touched them! It works! SO he did this until there were no more shadow-men in the cave. He walked up the hill to where his orb was. It was a 3d triangular shape, was bright green, and seemed to be somewhat nice.

"Hello, I'm guessing i'm your orb!" it said.

"Umm, hi. So, how do you stay with me like Blarg's?" Saros said, slightly confused and very tired.

"Easy! All you have to do is pick me up!" it said happily.

"So, what's your name? Or do you have a name?"

"Yes, I do have a name! It's Dak. What's your name?"

"Saros...Okay Dak. Here we go..."

Saros picked up the green triangle, and was instantly taken inside it.

"So, how do you like it in here?" Dak said.

"It's nice." Saros said.

"Ok, good. Where are we goin'? I haven't been with you long enough to read your mind."

"The beach of Narmond, can I go to sleep?"

"Yes go ahead. I'll wake you when he get there."

"Thanx." Saros said sleepily. And he fell asleep.

(ooc: I want my orb to be nice! And triangular! It's cool!)

Geeble hiked down the base of the mountain and headed deep into the boolie jungle. It was morning in Crilas, but the crowded jungle would never let you know that. It was filled with darkness and the air was thick. It was hard to breath as everything was so close together. Geeble had to crawl on his hands and knees at times to get past the thick brush.

All of the sudden Geeble made it to somewhat of a clearing. It was still dark with leaning branches as a roof blocking the sun, but there was a huge meadow with tall grass and a large tree in the center. Geeble moved on. After hours of travel, Geeble was met by another huge clearing. Wait...it was the exact same place, only this time someone else was there. *insert gasp*

Meanwhile Blarg found himself woundering an ancient petrified city that was in ruins. Many of the inhabitants have fleed do to the presence of the nothing. He knew at one time he visited this once prosperous city. But it was a blur to him. Blarg was searching for his test that he began centarys ago but lost it and ever sinced searched the entire planet for it. He knew he was close. Just then he approached a small square in the center of the city and noticed some of the artwaork upon the walls of the ruins. Something struck like a bullet as he stared at each of the pictures.

Each picture depicted the very same events that Blarg and his friends have been through. The first showed Blarg finding Ronan and Geeble eating in the ancient forest of Mudos. Then the summoning of their quest by Cronen. As he kept looking down the row of art work he saw the destruction of Mudos and the finding of the book of Shrykull and the death of the Raison. The quest over the sea through the orb, The swamps of Shame on the Island of Morea and then the learning of everyones powers and finding of Morea to the point in which they fought the Oddragon and landed on this continent of Crilas where he saw each of his friend's individual tests. In each of the pictures Blarg was dipicted like a guide to the rest but they never depicted his destany like the other pictures. But in each painting was a dark omunious figure surrounding Blarg. He was cerious in this ancient socity's ability to see the events of time depicted through art work. Until he came to the last picture. It was covered in branches and vines and weeds.

Blarg then pulled them off the picture and lightening flashed the sky as thunder followed. In that instant the picture depicted Blarg and his destiny and his test inwhich he must fullfill in the will of the gathering. In the painting there was a beast of darkness a hell hound like creature that was almost reptilian, as its face appeared through a small cave. Blood stained the teeth of the creature as Blarg held a sharp rock to defend himself. The beast name which was shown underneath was Lemrock. Blarg finally knew that Lemrock was his arch enamy he must face to fullfill his test.


Suddenly Lightening flashed and in that instant the eyes of Lemrock appeared from a small cave off to side of Blarg just like painting.


Blarg fell back as he approched the beast. He started talking to it.

"Who are you?"

"I am the one sent to destroy you!" replied Lemrock

"Why you?"

"Because you are the threat to us!"

"Who are you really?"

Lightening flashed as the creature Lemrock stared him down and smiled with an evil look.

"I was sent by the Nothing to destroy you eons ago but I failed and you found the remaining gods of the gathering. I try to stop each but I failed. You are the Keeper thus you had to find your friends and you had to be stoped. And you did successfully. Now you face me Lemrock!"

"Why do you destroy?" yelled Blarg

"Because it is the Nothings will. Soon Oddworld and its inhabitants will be destroyed."

"What about you?"

"My existance is irrelivant. Oddworld is irrelevant because nobody cares anymore! The pethetic inhabitants have forgotten the past and now the void of darkness the Nothing will destroy them and I will let it happen."

Blarg fused with anger. "If its me you want, come for me Lemrock I am the creature Blarg!" yelled Blarg holding a sharp stone dagger.

Lightening flashed as Lemrock thrust himself out of the cave and attacked Blarg head on. In an instant Lemrock was killed. Blarg underneath the body of Lemrock pulled the stone dagger out of his chest and pushed him aside. Blarg got himself up as suddenly he saw the Nothing approaching the ancient town.

"I must return to the beach we have one more day until the sixth day. I hope they find their paths! Or the nothing will destroy us!" said Blarg to himself.

Blarg then flaped his wings like an insect and left the town headed back to Mt Cloor and the beach of Normod where his friends will be there. But suddenly a giant Melcron beast blocked his path as he started to fight it.

Saros woke feeling very refreshed. He was in a green room, and it took a while to figure out where he was.

"OH, your up! Finally, I was lonley!" said Dak

"Sorry, I was really weak after using all that power..." Saros said with a yawn.

"It's ok, I was alone for a really long time anyway, what's another 4 days."

"4 DAYS! I slept for that long!"

"Yeah, I wasn't gonna wake you till we got there, but now that your up...you could teleport to get us there faster!"

"Ok, there's a small island over there, I can teleport the rest of the way to the Beach from there."

"Ok. Can do."

Dak landed softly on the rocky shore of the island, and soon after, Saros emerged feeling refreshed. Saros began to teleport, but something odd happened...he felt the "dark power" of the shadow-men surge through him. It was a piercing pain, as if someone had just stabbed him with a heated knife. He threw himself on the floor, and teleported...

Saros landed on the floor with a loud thud. He wasn't on the beach, he was in a dark cave. The green light emitted by Dak was missing, he wasn't there! Saros got up, and began to take a path as if he knew where he was going...down a long tunnle, up a flight of stairs, a right turn in the corridor, and then down a flight of stairs. This took him to a set of large black metal doors, with gaurds on each side.

"Who are you?" guard #1 said.

"Yeah, I don't think you belong here, magget!" said guard #2.

Saros grabbed guard #2 by the neck(with his jaw)and snapped it. Guard #1 tryed to stab him with his spear, but he too soon lay dead on the floor.

"This is where I belong!" said Saros evilly.

Saros opened the door, and entered.

"Who are you?" Geeble asked.

The thin brownish creature responded in it's scratchy voice. "I am a guide."

Geeble didn't trust whatever this thing was. He could tell by it's presence. "What would you guide me to?"

"Your destiny."

"What is my destiny?" Geeble asked curiously.

The creature was on all fours, but stood up to say this. "Your destiny is to die!" it screamed.

Geeble ran up to the creature and siezed it by the neck and pinned it against the tree. "I wouldn't make a threat like that, seeing as you're very small and....oh yeah, I could kill you right now!"

The creature laughed. "You can't find your way through this jungle without my help. I die, you die!"

Geeble threw the creature onto the ground."Well then...help me and I might spare your life."

"I don't help for free. We must play a game to see." The creature then laughed at it's little rhyme.

"What game?"

"The game of why is the only game I know, so it is the best. The rules are as follows." The creature then scurried off behind it's tree and pulled out a large piece of bark with writting on it. "You must read the agreement or you can't play."

Geeble picked up the piece of bark. It looked to be written in blood. "You've done this before, haven't you?"

"Eh, once or......eh..a thousand times! Yes! Thoasands of times, and I never lose!"

Geeble snorted at this, and read the agreement. The rules are, you must ask Goofuh(creature) a question and explain it. If you lie, you die. If you can't answer you die.

"Hmmmm, okay a question. Can you help me out of here?" Geeble asked starting the game.

"Why?" Goofuh asked as he snickered.

"Because I want to get out of here."

"Why?"

"Because I need to find my orb."

"Why?"

"So I can become a God."

"Why?"

"So I can destroy the nothing."

"Why?"

"So Oddworld will be peacefull again."

"Why?"

The game went on for hours. Goofuh was used to winning after a few questions, but he wasn't prepared for Geeble. After a long long time, Goofuh lost his voice. "I win!:D " Geeble said proudly!"

Saros looked inside the door he had opened. Their were shadow-men in the hall behind the door. He walked in, and all looked at the Meech with great intrest. Their was a being, indiscribable in appearence, sitting upon a high throne. Saros walked up to it, and bowed.

"Where have you been?" said the Being

"Bidding my time, waiting for the right moment to strike." Saros said.

"Well good, i've been waiting for you, these creatures are weak and useless." said the Being, waving his hand in the direction of the Shadow-men.

"I killed your guards, outside the doors, they wouldn't let me in..." Saros said with a smile.

"I see you haven't lose your touch."

"Never, once you've had a taste of evil, you can't go back."

"Good, good. Where would you like to start? Want your old position back?" said the being, gesturing to the throne he sat on.

"I think i'd like some field work, at least at first, i'm in the payback mood."

"OK, do as you will, make sure that the rest of your group doesn't find out about Mudos not being destroyed, we don't want them screwing up our plans as usual. And I want a report as soon as your done, then you can take your place back here."

"I'll get back to you..." said Saros, teleporting.

Saros landed on the beach, Dak was waiting for him there.

"That was wierd, I couldn't follow you...where did you go?"

"I have know idea... I'll have to take to Geeble about it." said Saros.

And with that, they both were teleported in a flash of green light.

Goofuh jumped onto Geeble's face and latched on bitting and scratching away. Geeble pulled the creature off and threw it onto the ground. He then pinned Goofuh under his foot. "Show me the way out!"
Goofuh nodded. Geeble released Goofuh from under his foot and the creature scuried over to his tree. He did a combination of knocks and taps onto the bark and the tree opened up like a door. Geeble stepped inside the door and it sealed shut behind him.

There was a series of stairs that led down, down, down......then finally, a nice pulley platform. Geeble went up that and was met by a huge bubble type structure. The walls were clear and Geeble could see fish swimming past the windows. He was underwater! Then, out of nowhere, a booming voice spoke.
"To see if you are the real Geeble, we are conducting a series of tests and challenges that only the real Geeble could do. Have fun!"

With that said, Geeble was transported to a type of maze.
"This maze is filled with orange orbs....only one of them is yours. The rest will lead you to a horrible death....BEGIN!" the booming voice said acting as if this was completely normal.
"I can do this." Geeble said to himself.
Just then, a huge beast dropped down from the ceiling with a large fly-swatter.
"Oh yeah, and you have to defeat the beast at the same time." the voice stated. "Did I mention there's a time limit?"

And so, from this spot we went our separate ways. I felt that I would need to investigate the mountaintop a bit more to find the orb. The blurgflyer queen seemed to me to be related to my Orb of Wisdom. I bid my friends good-bye and good luck, and teleported myself abruptly across to another mountaintop … or as close as I could get. My teleportation power was wearing thin, so I would have to hoof it up the last four miles.
But why walk it? I chanted and summoned an elum. I quickly mounted, and bucked his sides. He set off in the direction I had faced him.
After an uneventful hour (other than elum turning aside for honey a few times, which I remedied by calling down bees), I reached the summit.
It looked like something out of a nightmare. A dead flat, grassy-covered plain, which was broken only by five bent, jagged, lightning-scorched trees greeted my eyes. The sky overhead was pitch black, other than damp, dark gray clouds swirling menacingly over the center. It was odd, because the darkness broke off abruptly about ten feet out from the edge of the summit. This place felt as if it would be very important for the five of us someday. I sent the elum back down the mountain to feast on his honey while I started exploring.
Just over the far edge, I heard a bit of debris crumbling off. I crouched down for a closer look, and saw a small opening. Without a thought, I slipped down onto the ledge, and dropped down.
I could never believe what I saw. But I knew it had to be true.
I saw a sea of flowing, pulsing whiteness over the other side. It was surrounded by high rock walls holding it in. As I watched, the liquid looked more and more transparent. I saw, slowly, and eerily, faces of mudokons fowing through it! It was a river of souls!
"Gross!" was all I could say. At the sound of my voice, the souls instantly flew up out of the crater and flew about in a horrendous storm. They swarmed around me and clouded my vision. I heard screams and moans and cries.
"Ronan Sotch Termor!" came an ominous voice. I knew I was in for it; no one used my full name. Ever. "You seek the Orb of Wisdom, do you not?"
I could only shudder in the cold and damp of the souls surrounding me. I finally choked out: "Yes. I have reason to believe it is somewhere near this crater. Can you find a way to help me?"
The voice seemed amused, and about now I knew it was the collcective voice of all these souls. They must've been shamans in their life. "Perhaps I can, but then again ... perhaps I can't. It depends on what you can provide for me."
The souls thinned out a little bit so as to give me breathing room. I answered. "What is it you demand, Shamans of Years Past?"
Their appreciation of me increased with my formal questioning. But the thing they required of me was not any easier to accept afterward.
"We demand the blood of all your comrades to fall into this crater when it is filled with our souls. Do this, and the way to your orb will be opened."
I faltered here; how could I shed the blood of my fellows? "You expect me to kill my own friends just to obtain my orb?"
The voice laughed. "Yes. We want your closest companions to stand here and fall dying into this pit."
I was thunderstruck. "I cannot simply murder my friends! That's preposterous! I refuse!"
The voice got very mad at me. "We know that you are in need of the orb. And we also know that if you get it you will use it to achieve the power of The Odd. We cannot let a simple fool like you achieve a status it took us a lifetime to even begin to understand! It will not happen!"
The souls sped up and tightened around me. I found myself short on breath and fading ... what to do?
But then I got an idea!
"FINE!" I cried. "I'll do it! Allow me ten minutes to go and find them."
The souls disperesed and returned to their crater. "Fine. You have exactly ten minutes. Go, and be fast."
I promptly turned and marched back to the summit with the nightmarish trees. I stood in the immidiate center and chanted. Wind swirled around me, and it spread out into the trees, bringing them up and shaking them. Lightning crashed down onto my body, and I felt the same tugging as I did before fighting the Oddragon, but it was more profound. I felt my chest being pulled out and open, and feathers instantly sprouted all across the back of my head and down my shoulders. My skin turned pearly white and my arms and legs stretched longer, my muscles slightly bulging. My face slightly elongated, and I knew it was complete. The first part of my transformation was completed (ooc: like Saros' wings so many days ago) while a storm raged around me.
Meanwhile, the trees split and melted. I had made them into shells of my companions: Blarg, Geeble, Saros, and Lammy. The last tree smouldered and burned, as feathers scattered around around. I chanted again to regrow the trees (I never liked seeing dead trees sitting around), and led my living duplicates back down to the crater.
"Shamans of Years Past!" I called summoning them up. Like before, they spiraled up out of the crater and whirled about.
"You bring your friends, ready for sacrifice?" the voice said, surprised. "You were able to caonjur up your friends so soon?"
"Yes, Wise Ones. I will now sacrifice them to you." And so I lined them up along the craters edge, and drew my trusty slingshot from weeks ago in the capitol. (ooc: check back, it's there) I summoned a ball of lightning as ammunition and fired it off. I had tweaked it so that it split into four equal parts after being launched, and they did.
NOW! I raised my right paw up toward the mass of souls, and the lightning turned sharply upward and into the mass. One soul was struck, and the energy quickly spread throughout the whole group. I instantly knew I was going to be in for a world of pain, and so I gritted my teeth and held my breath.
I felt a sharp pain all over, and then ... blackness.

I was bored, so I thought I would draw Geeble. Whaddya tink?

-oddguy:fuzcool:

Thats pretty good Oddguy. I think I will do the same with Blarg so all of ya see what he looks like too.

Paramiteabe...:fuzblink:

Ohh ... now I gotta draw Ronan! No fair! I can't draw mudokons ... welll, not really. I'll try it, though.

I look at my drawing now and I think I could've done it better. Oh well, I guess I'm my own worst critic.:fuzblink:

-oddguy:fuzcool:

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STORY? I don't want to go on with mine yet, so someone reply! :rant:

I felt a sharp pain all over, and then ... blackness.

I felt myself soaring high above the clouds. It seemed as though I was flying in a million diffrent directions at the same time. I felt like I was a bird. Like I was a dozen birds.
And that is what I was. The birds--my body--came together and merged, revealing my true body (ooc: my transformation). I hit the ground with a thud, and looked around.
I was in a dimly lit chamber. The soul source of light was a fire in the center. I saw a mudokon wearing a long bird mask over his front. Big Face!
"Ronan Sotch Termor. It's about time."
I stumbled. "Uhm... yeah. Aren't you ... dead? Weren't you alive when Abe was?"
He sighed. "Now is not the time for pointless questioning. I must do my work quickly, as my power is fading. Give me your paws."
And so I extended the back of my hands. With a painful jolt of energy, the legendary Scars of Abe were etched into my skin!

(if this were a movie, there would be one of those fancy scene transitions here)

Lammy felt it first. The backs of his paws tingled ...

Saros felt a sharp sting on his back.

Geeble's paws ached.

Blarg felt his arms twitching, as if electrified.

(we all have the scars now. cue transition.)

The Big Face was fading fast.
"I have done my work, Ronan Sotch Termor. Use the scars to find your Orb of Wisdom ... good luck ..."
And he was gone.
I sat and pondered a bit. How had he gotten there?
Duh. Spooce lock between the spirit world and here. He must've been low on credit by now, after all of his hard work for Abe.
After a while I stood and chanted. My hands burned, and my body stretched and ripped open into the body of the Shrykull! Blue Rage seeped through me .... and when it subsided, I saw a sky blue diamond hovering two feet above the ground.
The Orb .... Diamond of Wisdom!
"Ronan Sotch Termor--" why do people keep calling me that?!--"has come. He requires my strength to proceed, does he not?"
"Are you talking to yourself, or ...?"
The Diamond trembled. "Do not mock me, or I will make you suffer. I know your power, I know my power, and I know what we can do together. But do not disrupt our balance, or your life will suffer nothing but utter discord and chaos."
Then I was surprised by a blatant, idiotic remark: "Now get it together, bonehead."
I couldn't help it. I laughed. And laughed. And laughed. After all that serious talk, my Diamond turned out to be a goon. Sure, he knew everythin there was to know--as I could tell--but, it was really just a big dope.
"All right, buddy--"
"Buki, not Buddy."
I stuttered. "Uhh .... right. Buki. We gotta get back to the meeting place shortly. Why don't me get a move on?"
Buki seemed to agree. "Alrighty then. Close your eyes ...."
I was instantly refreshed and standing in the meeting place we had agreed on.

(okay I have my orb ... or diamond. if saros can have a triangular one, Ronan can have a diamond one.)

Now Saros and Dak were finally at the Beach! Saros was worried about his friends! They were supposed to have met here 2 days ago! But he felt calm about them living, and he knew he'd feel it if they died. He was tired and was bored! Listening to Dak whine was not what he wanted to here...

Dak: "I'm so tired of waiting here Saros! Can we go!"
Saros: "Dak, i've told you! We can't do anything until the rest of 'us' get here."
Dak: "The ocean is nice, but i prefur mountains! Can I go look at mountains?"
Saros: I thought that you couldn't leave me by myself...that you were bound to me..."
Dak:"Yeah, that's still true! Can we go look at mountains?"
Saros: "No..."
Dak: "PLEASE!"
Saros: "Leave me alone right now, Dak..."
Dak:"PLEASE!"

Finally, Saros got up and threw a ball of flames at him, it bounced off.
Dak: "Dude! Sorry! I didn't know you were mad enogh to kill me!"

There was a bright flash of orange light, and Geeble was standing there, with a staff that glowed orange at the top. Geeble seemed to look the same, exept for the tatto's that were all over his body, and he looked tired!

Geeble: "That's not Saros, do not speak to it! Saros has been possessed!"
Saros:*evil voice* "I knew you'd all find out sooner or later, I was hoping you'd come one at a time!," *evil laugh*"Come to me Geeble, I will rip your throat out!"

Geeble grabbed his staff in one hand and a possession orb in the other, and leapt into the air towards Saros. Geeble threw the possession orb, but Saros dodged it. Saros was ready for Geeble's next move,(or thought that he was) he jumped in the air and was about to land on Geeble for his final blow, but Geeble lifted his staff, and Saros was floating in the air...

Saros:*evil voice* "Let me go, Geeble, i'm not finished! Your body will be ripped to pieces and..."
Geeble then silenced him with a wave of his hand. When Geeble started to chant...
Saros's body began to squirm, flail, and he was shaking. Geeble was de-possessing him! A shadow began to crawl out of Saros, lke sludge. It was screaming! Slowly, the creature was climbing it's way out of Saros. Geeble was getting tired, and finally the shadow-man jumped out of Saros and began to atack Geeble! Saros fell to the ground with a thump, and he was himself.
Saros: *no evil voice* "What's going on?"

Geeble hit the shadow-man with his staff, and shoved it in him, glowing side up. The shadow-man burst into flames, and exploded! He sat down on the beach, and smiled.

Saros: "That was amazing! How did you do that? And where's your orb?"
Geeble: "It's right there." Geeble pointed up.
Geeble's orb: "Hello!" It was very small, and had a high pitched voice.
Dak: "Hello Foob! Long time, no see!"
Saros:" So, how did you get you'r orb?"
Geeble smiled and began to tell his story.

(ooc: YEAH! Go Dave! I like your diamond! 'Tis cool!)

Geeble: "Yes, well I had found my way to a maze filled with orange orbs; only one was mine, the rest would lead me to a horrible death. On top of that, I was being chased bt a huge demon with a large flyswatter and there was a time limit. I never thought I would make it. Anyway, in the midst of lookin for a weapon of some kind, I found a staff. It was useless, but there was an inscription on it that said it belonged to Geeble and Foob. This took me a while to read, since I was being chased around constantly. Once I read that, I could see that there was an opening at the top of my new found staff. It was very small, so I figured Foob was my orb and that he would fit in the top of the staff. That was when the real searching for my orb began. I was in a maze, so I ran all over the place, trying to fight off a demon and beat the time limit. Finally, I found the smallest orange orb there and I knew at once it was mine."

Saros: Very cool....when I found my orb I--

Foob interupted Saros in his sqeaky voice.

Foob: ":rant: Listen buddy! Geeble hasn't finished his story! Eh, I'll finish it! Anyway, once I was joined with the staff, which is quite comfy, I became powerfull enough to destroy demon guy. That's how we got Mr. shadow man outta ya, Saros!"

Saros was annoyed, but couldn't stay mad long. Foob's voice was soo cute!:D

Saros: Thanx guys! I'm glad I'm my old self again! Anyway, when I was possessed, I remember some stuff.

Geeble: Mudos isn't destroyed. yes, I know. The evil is going to use it for something in it's final phase.

Saros: So, where's everyone else? Lammy, Ronan, Blarg? Where? It's been 2 days since we were supposed to meet... I only got here fastert than everyone else because the evil wanted me here, by myself with Blarg, so I could kill him. That way we could never complete the circle... our missions would be doomed, and it almost happened because of me...

Dak: Don't beat yourself up, everything's ok now, and you and Geeble screwed up the shadow's plans, so that's good, isn't it?

Geeble stood up, and began to walk with his staff.

Geeble: Well, I suggest we find Blarg, and quickly, he may be in some danger...

His staff began to glow orange.

Foob: Why, i'm, sure he's fine... do you have to walk, your tired! You should just rest, or you could get in and I'll carry you around and look for Blarg...

Geeble: Okay... Saros, you can ride in your and we'll split up...

Geeble held his staff firmly, and the orange square inside started to grow until it was the size of a shoebox, then Geeble started to shrink smaller and smaller until he fit inside...

Saros did the same with Dak, and they began the search for Blarg.

Here is what my character looks like!: I will reply to this when I get back from work tonight.:D

In the mean time take a look at Blarg.

Great work PA!:fuzgrin: You're obviously a more advanced artist than mwah!:D I'd like to take a course on art.
