[Fred]

Hello! I don't know if anybody here remember because it's been a long time but, I wrote the fan fic;Oddworld; episode I; the phantom menace. But I suddenly stop writting and I'm sorry. But today, I'll write the continuation of the story. I'll won't start writing right now because I have to go but I hope when I'll come back there'll have some comments. And don't worry there'll have a summary of the previous episodes.

[Jordan]

That sounds cool, I look forward to seeing it, could you give the link to the first part?

[Fred]

Okay, I've forgot that there was a link to the first part in my profile. And also to the people that readed the first part, the episode two is the conclusion of Bob's story, there'll have an episode III that will explain the conclusion of the Steef's story. Now that's enough! Let's begin.

[Fred]

Bob was rowing in his fish boat on his way to the south. But he was caught by a very deep fog and he was lost.

"(Angry Mudokon sound) I can't believe it! "Go to the south Bob" the almighty raisin said. South my a**.

As the situation was getting really worse the cool breeze of the south was getting him a little bit more relax. When he heard a sound that made him more relax.

"Ah, the delicate sound of falls. FALLS??!!!"

So he jumped out of his boat and swimmed fastest as he could to reach the river's bank.

"Woah! my boat!" He shouted very loudly. "Now, where am I?"

It's right at this moment that the fog was clearing, he saw it, his final goal, the great horn of the reunion. It was looking like a great wood machine with the form of a chanting Mudokon. It was looking very old, it's been a long time since anyone ever used it.

"Well, it's look like I reached it."

So he climbed over the great tree where the horn was installed. When he reached the room where he is supposed to use it, he saw some draws on the walls.

"Well, if I understand, I'm supposed to chant in."

So, he started to chant, and then, the machine started to chant like him too. The chant was repending all around the continent. All the sicks Mudokons working in the breweries doesn't hear the call, they're souls were lost forever, in the darkness of industries. But the others Mudokons, working in the fields, in the villages and in the temples heard it.

"That's, that's the great reunion call." A Mudokon said.

Including the young Mudokons were undersanding becose of they're instincs. All the free Mudokons Answeres to the call and all stopped they're work and started marching direct to the ancient Mudokon forteress in a massive exoddus. After some hours of chanting to be sure all the Mudokons heard it, he was pretty tired and said with high breathe;

"Well, the mecanism is started, we can't stop it now."

[Fred]

It was the night in a camp of Mudokons that stopped in the way to the Mudokon fortress. Two scouters out of the camp, ready to alert the others in case of attack, were talking about serious statements.

"If you want to have a tastier slurg soup you better add some pepper."

"Wow I didn't thought about it. For my part I add some Scrab ongles to..."

"Shhhhhhht."

"Hey! If it doesn't interest you what I'm talking..."

"No, you didn't hear that sound?"

"Which sound?"

Then an hearthquake started and all the camp started to panic. Then, the two scouters saw a gigantic U.F.O. in the sky that made the ground rumble. When it finished to pass over the camp, a heavy silence fell on the plains.

"W...what was that?"

"I don't know, but I think it means serious problems for us."

***

In the Vykkers labs, the two CEO's Humphrey and Irwin were talking in their office about which natural resource to exploit before the Glukons.

"Stupid Glukons!" Said Irwin. "They tooks the monopoly of the Mudokons before us. Now we have nothing to do except sell pharmaceutical products."

"Don't worry Irwin" Said Humphrey. "They don't have the total monopoly of the Mudokons."

"What do you mean?"

"You know that the average life span of a Mudokon worker class is approximativly 40 years right?"

"Yeah."

"So, when all their slaves gonna be too old to work, where do you think they'll takes their next generation of laborer?"

"Huh, I don't know"

"You idiot! In the nest of the Mudokon queen of course."

"So?"

"(sob) So, we better catch the source of Mudokon workers before them"

"You mean, abduct the Mudokon queen?"

"Yes"

"How can we do that?"

"Don't worry. I got a plan." He said before he walk to the fone on his desk. "Hello, can you please change our destination...what?...Our new destination?...To the Monzaic lines."

P.S. Thats realy good keep it up.

[Fred]

Few hours later, all the free Mudokons of Mudos were reunited at the Mudokon Fortress. The villagers were all waiting outside in camps. The chiefs of the villages had etablished a counsel inside;

"So, which of you just used the great horn of the reunion?" said one of them.

"That's none of us" said another. "And, where are the chiefs of the west province villages?"

"You know, they're all working in the soulstorm brewery." Said another.

"Yeah, it's true."

"It's me that just called you." Said a mysterious Mudokon staying in the sunlight.

"Who are you?" Said one of the chiefs.So, when the door closed, the identity of the Mudokon was clear. "You...you are the legendary big face?"

"Yes" in fact, that was Bob wearing the big face's mask. "The almighty raisin send me to warn you about the industrial menace."

"Which menace?" said the great priest of the monzaic lines. "I personnaly met mr. Molluck and he don't seems to have any mad plans for us."

"All they want is to make us slaves. That's the almighty raisin that said it to me personaly."

"You know what Molluck said." said another village chief. "All that the industrialists want is help us on our path to progress."

"Progress? Which progress? Our progress to the pain and the sadness?"

"Blasphemy!" said the monzaic lines great priest. "They give us jobs and offer us moolahs. We're about to become developed too."

"Is there any of you missing?" said the big face.

"Yeah, the chiefs of the west province." Said one of the chiefs of south coast villages.

"No, I mean others."

"Huh..."

"Yeah, the kings of the Necrum city aren't here too." said the priest of the Scarabania temple. " It isn't normal."

"I don't like to announce bad news but..." Big face said before taking his breathe. "...They're all dead. They've been killed by an army of sligs, send by Glukons." All the Mudokons were shocked by this news. But the great priest of the monzaic lines took back the order.

"Lies! It's all lies! The Glukons are our friends, they can't do that!."

"I hoped I didn't have to do this, but I'm obliged. Follow me."They got up the stares to go over the surveillance tower. "Watch this."

As the blue fog was clearing, one of the chiefs said; "What the..." They saw about ten factories making deep black smoke.

"You see..." said the big face. "They're cutting our trees, killing our sacred animals, draining our water and many other terrible things."

"S... so...what's your plan big face?" Said one of the chiefs.

"I don't know, I thought you could help me etablished one."

"But... our queen never allows them to do that." Said another.

"Oh my odd!" Said the monzaic lines great priest. " Our queen is in danger! If they want to slave us, that means they'll attack our queen very soon!"

"Oh no!" Said the big face. "I'll take an Elum and go to the monzaic lines fastest as I can to warn them! Etablish a plan during this time."

Bob took an Elum and started going fastest as he can to save his beloved mother.

[Fred]

Bob rides to the monzaic lines , when he reached the gates kept by two giant Mudokon statues. Without paying any attention to the guards, he entered and ride directly to Sam's throne room.

"What's that?" said one of the royal counselers.

"Mother! Mother, we better go away from here right now!" said Bob the big face.

"What's wrong my child?" said the beloved mother.

"I am the big face, and the almighty raisin send me to warn you about the industrialists, all that they want is slave us!"

"But, mister Molluck was so kind."

"No, he's a lier! He've built a dozen of factories across the land."

"That's enough!" said a mudokon standing at the right of the queen. He was dressed with big featers and he had big war paints on his body. "It's not a manner way to talk to your mother."

All the members of the royal counsel were talking about him.

"Maybe you're the big face, but I'm higher than you in the hierarchy, I am the Shrykull."

"The...the Shrykull?" said Bob intimidated by his brother. "You mean, the one that have been chosen to be the guardian of the Mudokon people?"

"Yes. The last big face gave me the power of the Srykull, if he would be here today, he would'nt be against the industrialists. You're not the big face!"

"No! You don't understand! The Glukkons are our ennemies, they'll lead us to the chaos and the end of our people! They just killed all the Mudokons of the city of Necrum!"

"You...you lie!" said the Shrykull. "Why would they do this?"

"They're using the Necrum burial ground to desecrate our ancestors bones to put them in the Soulstorm brew to drunk and slave us!"

"Thi...this can't be..." said the Shrykull confused as the great queen cried in memory of his beloved children. Suddenly, an earthquake started. "What's that means?"

As the Shrykull and Bob leaves the throne room to see what's happening, they saw something they'll never forget. An army of strange creatures in armors, with long arms and fingers, armed with strange weapons that kill without any blade or arrow. They saw all their friends brothers by those demons.

"But... who are they?" said Bob. "They're not Sligs or Glukkons, from where they came from?"

Bob did'nt saw that the Shrykull was helping his brothers to go to a safe place.

"Go to the monzaic sanctum! Hurry!" The monzaic lines was only populated by monks and priest, there was no weapons, including no hunt tools, nothing to defend themselves. It was defenitively an unequal battle. "They're giving me any choice, I'll have to use bird portals."

"What's a bird portal?" said Bob.

"You're supposed to be the Big face, and you did'nt know what's a bird portal?"

"Huh, no."

"Watch this." Then, the Shrykull started to chant, and a circle of birds turns into a strange light vortex where all the Mudokons jumped. "Now, they're into a safe place." While he helped the Mudokons to enter into the monzaic sanctum, the strange creatures enters into the throne room. "Oh no! Mom!"

When Bob and the Srykull entered inside the throne room, they saw all the members of the royal counsel shotted by their strange weapons as the Mudokon queen tried to defend herself by smashing these demons with her massive hands. Becose of his big abdomen, that was pretty though for her. Strangely, they did'nt tried to shot her like if they did'nt want to kill her.

"Hey you! Keep your dirty hands away from our mother!" said the brave warrior. When they tried to shot them they had just the time to hide themselves behind a rock. "Wow, that was close."

Suddenly, the room's ceiling falls upon the floor. That was an enormous U.F.O. standing in the sky.

"What is that thing?" said Bob.

Small flying ships descends from the biggest and tied the queen to raise her up and took her inside. She continued to layed eggs that fell on the ground. That was an horrible show.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! You won't take my MOTHER!!!!!!" said the Shrykull before he turned into an half Scrab and half Paramite creature, shooting thunders everywhere that killed all the invaders. In spite of all his efforts, he couldn't save the queen. As he turned back to normal, he fell on his knees, hitted the ground and started to cry: "That was my duty to protect my queen. (sob) That was my only duty in I failed."

"D...don't worry Shrykull." said Bob. "You've protect the innocents and that's good. Now that you saw that the industrials are bad, we can bring her back if we combine our efforts to save the Mudokon race."

The Shrykull raise up and said: "I...I heard you. I was wrong. You're the big face." When he heard that, Bob was a little touched. "Well, what's you're plan...big face?"

"First of all, we better go back to the Mudokon fortress, where all the villages chiefs are waiting for us. Our priority now is to take down the Glukkons first."

"What do you think that thing was?"

"I don't know, but something is sure, they are ennemies."

***

Sam, the Mudokon queen, was conducted into a very dark place with strange white light that came from white sticks fixed on the ceiling. When a strange machine started to talk to her.

"Hello your majesty, welcome to your new home."

"W...what do you want from me?" said the recently captive and chained queen.

"Your eggs of course."

"Who...who are you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry but I can't talk to you about my superiors but...you can call me; Shrink."

[Slaveless]

Oh, I like this very much! You certainly have improved since the last time I saw you Fred! I liked the story on how Big Face was going to warn everyone. I am waiting to see how the Steefs get reinvolved with the story!

Oh and, MoxCo, Fred can double post here. This rule doesn't apply in The Fan Corner.

[Fred]

Back at the Mudokon fortress, Bob and the Shrykull ettablished a plan with the members of the desperate counsel:

"What shall we do now that our mother is caught by those invaders?" said a panicked village's chief.

"Yeah, why don't you've warn us sooner!?" said another one.

"I tried! But you did'nt listen to me! You were all hypnotised by those big headed bastards speeches." said Bob.

"Maybe we would ask it to the almighty raisin?" said the Shrykull.

"No, he asked me to do it by myself. He can't help us."

"Maybe we could attack them?" said another village's chief.

"Are you stupid?" said the Shrykull. "We don't have any weapons. Just hunt tools."

"Yeah, you're right."

"My brothers, I think we don't have any other choice...we'll have to negociate with Molluck."

"Are you completly crazy?!" said the great priest of the Monzaic lines. "They'll kill you before you reach the Soulstorm brewery's threshold!"

"So? The situation is really bad, They've got the control of the Scrabanian and Paramonian temples, they're killing our sacred animals they can't do that!" said the priest of the Paramonian temple.

"Don't worry about that." Answered the Shrykull to the great priest of the m.l. "I'm a fierce warrior, they'll need more than an army of Sligs to kill me."

"Well, okay...we'll try to negociate with Molluck." said the great priest.

"Not you, just me and the big face."

"W..what!? Why me?"

"Now that our queen is gone, we are the leaders of the Mudokon race, we are the best to negociate."

"B...but..."

"We're on the way."

"What can we do during we're waiting for you?" said the great priest.

"Just keep the fortress safe." answered the Shrykull as him and Bob were leaving to the Soulstorm brewery.

***

In the Molluck's office, he was talking at his private fone to a Glukkon from Glukose.

"Mister Molluck, lady Margareth got an offer for you."

"Which kind of offer?"

"You know, we have a project about build a Rupture Farm at Mudos."

"You mean, the meat producers?"

"Yeah, we saw that there are many comestible animals to hunt. So, we project to build the biggest meat processing plant on Oddwrld."

"So, what's that business have to do with me?"

"Well, because you're a genius businessman, we would purpose you to be the CEO's of that facility."

"But, I am already the CEO of the Soulstorm brewery 401."

"Yeah, just more profits did not?"

"(laugh) Yeah, (laugh). Oh, excuse me, but I got someone on the other line wait a moment please...hello?"

That was a Slig guard. "Huh, boss, we got a problem."

"What?"

"That's two Mudokon intruders."

"Just kill'em like I told to you."

"Yeah, but, one of them is launching electricity and they are coming to your office."

"W...what?" said Molluck before he took back his calm. "Well, let them come closer my anti-intrusion orb gonna kill them."

The two Mudokons arrives at the Molluck's office.

"Yes, that's it...come closer..." thought Molluck as the Shrykull launched a thunder on the anti-intrusion orb.

"Mister Molluck, we'll be direct with you...free our queen!" said the big face.

"What?"

"Don't lie with us we know that you've kidnapped our queen." said the Shrykull.

"You...you're joking huh?"

"No! We know that you've send your big U.F.O. and..."

"Wait! You said...big U.F.O.?"

"Huh yes..."

"Hummm...I see. Well, I can assure you that that wasn't us." Said Molluck as he saw a Slig sight behind them with a gun. "I'll see what I can do."

Then, the Slig shoot the Shrykull in the back immediatly after, he shoot a thunder on him. Then, Molluck shout "help!" and two Sligs fell on the ground ready to shot too but the Shrykull shoot two thunder at the same time. Bob took the Shrykull's arm on his shoulders and helped him to run away. Some meters later, the Shrykull said with his weak voice:

"W...watch this..." he said as he shows to Bob a bird portal. "Well it looks like this is your only hope."

"W...wait, you mean "our" only hope."

"No, only one of us can enter in."

"Well it will be you! From the beginning I've been useless to our race."

"No, don't say that, you're our only hope."

"O...ok."

"W...wait." Then, the Shrykull shakes Bob's hand and he fell a powerful electricity shock. After that the Shrykull looked older then he was before. "I've (cough) I've transmit to you the power of the Shrykull. It is the duty of the big face to transmit the power to the next chosen one. Promise me that you'll live to (cough) save our people. Promise me."

"I...I promise you." said Bob before the ex-Shrykull use his last power left to chant and open the bird portal where he jumped in.

When the ex-Shrykull left alone, he was quickly surrounded by a dozen of Sligs. When one of them said; "Freeze!" He answered with:

"Bring it on!"

***

With the Mudokon nursery of the Vykkers labs finally finished, the Shrinks started to take away her precious eggs. But in spite of all of that, she continued to give names to her eggs. Before they took'em away, they give it to her to let her give them a name.

"You're name will be...Alfred."

"Well, now that is done, give it to me. Here's the next." said the Shrink.

"(sob) If I would be free, this one would have been a member of the Lure tribe."

"Hurry! We have to accelerate the production. Give me that!"

As the queen saw his precious egg took away, she said very silently and crying; "Goodbye my dear child...Abraham."
