Thanks all of you, I decided that I needn't do an Exodus for Jim as I can get all of the story into the oddysee. Bring on Slup!

"Hmm, you are indeed powerful" Came the voice of Ice in my head.
"What is happening to me!" I yelled

The pain suddenly ceased "Nothing my friend, it is nothing"
I looked around wildly. I looked upon the door which for some strange reason was wide open. I hesitated.

"Come outside"

I stepped wearily through the door. I looked up and down the passage. The cells were all empty. I walked in the direction I thought we had first came in from when something kicked me in the back.
I turned and found myself face to face with Ice.
"If you have any sense you will surrender now and become a member of the Dark Hand!"

I chose no. I long fight ensued which Ice nearly won. At one point I pushed his head agaist a hot pipe. He screamed in pain until I released him. Half of his face was burned raw down to the bone in places. His one remaining eye scowled. He retaliated by cutting through a pipe with a spell. Steam shot at me blinding me temperarily. I copied his idea by grabbing a bar. I smacked a pipe which sprayed Ice with oil. The next pipe didn't break but sparks flew off igniting the oil. Ice stood up burned and bleeding and ran at me. I fell off balance. He uttered a few words. His foot turned into a red hot branding iron. He reached for my chest. I prayed.

A large blade answered my prayers cutting through the steel brander which fell useless on the floor.
I muttered "Glanrond Ethyrnt nasven" I knew it as an ancient word for 'fall before the light'.

The Brander turned into the sign of peace. I grabbed it and mindlessly thrust it against Ices Heart.

He instantly fell dead in front of me...

I lifted my head. Screaming echoed down the corridor. Both me and Scar-eye turned to see the source of it. Mudokons were running at us, Some dying as they ran. Some fell dead others exploded into Rats or spiders which ate the corpses, Some just burst into blood. The blood wasn't red it was thick, black and murky.
One lone Mud made it to us. It was Dac, but not as he had been before. He looked older and his evil looks had vanished. He removed his robe and fell to his knees next to the corpse of Ice.
His stomach lurched. Then he was sick. But it wasn't sick that came out. No, Dac had projectile vomiting of Rats and spiders and snakes.

All the Creatures of the dead muds and Dac slowly were drawn to Ice's corpse. They seemed to burrow into him, it was messy.
Then smoke filled the room. The robe and staff were all that remained and then, they too were vanished as a flame engulfed them.
Dac looked up at me and groaned, a few small spiders scuttled out of his mouth. I walked around him. He had no tattoos, they had dissapeared.
"His..."
"I know," said Scar-eye "Yours has too"
"It has?"
"Yeah"
"Yours as well!"
"Whoop ee doo!" He said Sarcastically.

Dac groaned "My master is dead, I am doomed"
"Hey! take it easy" Said Nat appearing suddenly.
"Nat!" I yelped
Ash hobbled over to us.
"Ash!" I also yelped

"I am a failure, I have made a big mess"
"Don't say that!" I said
"It's true, I always mess up. I dedicated my life to evil and I failed at that too"
"Try learning from your mistakes"
"I have tryed and I shall try again, and fail terribly"
"I was born into this freakshow!" Said Scar-eye
"Yeah, and he came through!" Said Ash.

"I bring bad luck"
"Hell, maybe your right but I know one thing. You are the only one to survive that and we need you and your gonna come!" I said.
"You may have messed up but now all you can do is leave this place. Dedicate your life to getting out of here!"

"Hmmm, very well I shall try"




"Jim run! I sense something very bad is going to happen! get all of them out of there!" came Robs voice.

Something very, very bad happened next...

Flax the Glukkon sat in his office smoking his cigar and worrying about the problems in the factory over the past twenty one hours.
First had been the escaping of a mudokon from his zulag, then the spawners and tear x-tractors had shut down, Abe had entered the building freeing mud slaves, The legendary 'Fin' had escaped the brig and the floor seven incident. He was completely oblivous to the fact that our group was responisble. I was also amazed that he had no idea that Ice had been living there right under his nose for so long.

A slig ran in, "Boss! the pipes aren't working!"
"Check the piperoom, thats the only place where they are exposed" Said Ice.

"Ok, disbatch a search team to the piperoom" the slig said down the radio.

"Er... we cannot gain acess, the piperoom is on fire sir!"
"Boss the piperoom is on fire"

"Damn I could have guessed" Said Flax.

Abe freed the last mudokon and lept through the portal.

"Sir we have 300 mudokons unacounted for"
"Our entire workforce is missing!" Yelled Flax.
"It couldn't get any worse"

The piperoom smelled of smoke from the fires burning all around us as we walked towards the exit. It was quiet except for the cracking of flames. Then I heard it.

Bang

"Did you hear that?" Said Dac.
"Yeah"
"Definately"
"Of course"
"Yes" I said

"Thank Odd" He said
"Why?" asked Ash
"Just incase I was going mad"

Then BANG, ... ,BANG,Bang,BaNG,BANG.

"The hell!" Yelled Scar-eye.
"The brew vats are exploding!" I said
"Abe has gone!" said Nat

"**** Abe! get outa here now!" Yelled Scar-eye
"All my fault" Groaned Dac.

So we ran and the explosions shook the building.

"Calling all workers, report to the office now..." "For..."
"We..." Ar..e..." "In...." Deee..eep" "Shit"

The intercom went off and the piperoom exploded as pipes shot their contents in every direction. They cancelled each other out as we dived through the door leading back into the floor eight corridor.

"Quick take the elavator!" Said Scar-eye.

He opened the door and stepped onto a thin ledge. We were in broad daylight. He turned around to look at the building.

"Holy!..."

The floors above us were missing, a mere framework remained. The tanks had ignited blowing the entire building above floor 8.

"What now!" asked Nat
"Bad luck..." Said Dac

"Stop the negative attidude!" said Ash.

"This is simple," Said Scar-eye "We have to go along that platform" He said pointing a a collapsed frame work.

"Er... Scar-eye that IS just a girder!" I said

"We can't can't go back down that Tower, we have to cross this framework to the other"

"That Tower is the main one!" said Nat "The Brewmaster and Flax are in there!"

"Bad luck!" Said Ash
"Don't insult me!" Sighed Dac...

Thanks, I just thought of a big plot type thing revolving around Jims move to the brewery!

We crossed the girder in single file. After a while it led to a catwalk that went to the Tower. There were many walkways leading off ours but strangely enough there were no Sligs to be seen except one who was sleeping on the job in the distance.
The odds were in our favour.

"Thank God!" I sighed "We're finally safe for a while"
"Let's rest a while" Said Ash
"Agreed" Said Nat and Scar-eye
Dac was quiet, he seemed deep in thought.

We sat with our backs to the handrails. I sat with Nat and Ash on one side while Dac and Scar-eye were on the other.
Nat dozed off into a snooze along with Dac who was half asleep most of the time. Me and Ash were well awake but relaxed unlike Scar-eye who was keeping an eye on Dac.

Ash sensed he was uneasy "What's wrong?" He asked.
"I have a bad feeling" Said Scar-eye.
"Don't be silly!" I said "What could possibly happen?"


"Oh my dear boy! A lot could happen and it will! Your group of clowns is cursed!" Came a strange whisper in my head.

"Rob? is that you"

The voice spat. "Fool, I am no do-gooder!"

"That voice! Isn't that..."

"Ice?"

"No way, how is that possible!"

"A lot is possible by way of fate! You will see what I mean!"

"What are you talking about!"

"In a few minutes... you will see!"

"Jim What's up" Said Nat.

The entire group was looking at me, I was vissibly shaken.

"N..Nothing!" I managed.
"This cold is no good, let us go inside!" said Ash.

We headed for the door the sleeping slig far away to our left.
It was silent and our footsteps made no noise until.

"Aagh!" Yelled Dac.

He had fallen through a trap door and was holding on for his life.
The slig jumped up and we were bombarded with gunfire. Assault teams appeared and shot at us. The odds were suddenly the complete opposite...

Thanks all of you! major deaths coming up!

I turned to see that I was in a completely different place. I was sitting on a leather seat in some Glukkon lounge. My heart stopped as my eyes fell on the body of Nat. He was dead. Full of bullets. Ash and Scar-eye were missing, while I felt a tug on my wrist.
I was wearing a handcuff on one wrist that was attached to Dac's wrist. Dac, racked with bullets but alive was sleeping and from the looks of things having a bad nightmare. I appeared to be completely untouched by the bullets not having a single mark on my body.

Dac rolled and dragged me with him "Keep him alive" He muttered as he slept.

"Oh we will!" Said a Glukkon voice...

very short but sweet i'm afraid as i have to go quickly...

thanks

A Glukkon approached us. "Just as he says you shall be spared"

"What the hell," I stuttered, lost for words with the death of Nat and this sudden appearance.
"why is Nat dead?" I asked.
"He isn't, just yet, nearly though"
"What?"
"He is being simulated by a supercomputer, unless you do as I say the computer will be shut down along with him!"
"You Bastard! why are you doing this"

I pointed and glared at him.

"Hah, you shall never defeat the mighty Flax! unless you want to die yourself!"
"You're Flax?"
"Yes, I'm the defiant vice-owner of this very facility"
"I bet it shook you when floor eight blew up!" I laughed.
"No, in fact we knew all along that you were trying to escape and believe me, it took some trouble getting you!"
"What?"
"Well, allow me to explain, you have two towers and a lot of ground space in this brewery. Somwhere within it you have a group of targets you can't find. One is the greatest mudokon katana user ever on oddworld, another is a blind old mud with enogh knowledge to destroy this brewery at any moment, the youngest member is a victim of severe fits and if provoked could kick the life out of any Slig or Glukkon. And finally there's you, the invisible target that Sligs aren't allowed to shoot. A quite hard to reach group, it took the sligs twenty five hours to get you"

I was lost for words, what did he mean 'not allowed to shoot'.

"Well, that isn't for you to know"
"Can you read my mind?"
"No, it's this!" He pointed at a small microchip on a table.
"You too are joined to a supercomputer that is connected to one of those chips. I have one implanted in my brain, it lets me tell what you are thinking"

I suddenly felt very small...

Great, good luck with your new fic!

"How long have you been able to see what I think?" I asked.
"In the last hour the chips were implanted in us" He answered.
"This brewery is falling apart! We'll all die soon"
"It is true that the other tower and much of the ground zulags have been damaged or destroyed, but our work teams are around for fixing that now. Come with me and I'll show you something!"

He called over a slig who undid the handcuff from Dac and secured both of my wrists.

"Now follow me" Said Flax leading me out of the lounge and into a service lift. It took us down to a computer programming floor.
Sligs, Vykkers and Interns were sat at desks and programming some sort of file. One computer was free. He led me through into a noise proof office. My eyes fell on a massive computer chip. It was twice as tall as Flax.

"This," he said "is the original chip, mine and yours are made from the same technology however, this one deals on a much larger scale".

"What's it for?" I asked, still amazed by the ingenious of the chip.

"You cannot know that, not even they know!" He said pointing his head towards the sligs, Vykkers and Interns.
"They are mindlessly programming what could be their own death!" He laughed.

"Why are you showing me this?"
"We need your knowledge of Abe to finish the data file"
"you shall have nothing from me"
"Do as I say or else Nat will die!"

I was lost in thought, to save the life of Nat and probably the others too I had to co-operate with this mad man. But Rob had said my destiny and fate was to spread the words of Abe beyond Mudos, not to some Glukkon who would most likely use the knowledge against Abe.

"Jim, it's me Rob, Do as he says and be not afraid!" said Rob.

"Jim is your name huh, well like your angelic friend says you should do as I say"

"Well clown, I see you're up to your neck in it now. Whatever will you do!"

"Hah hah! You really are a mess. Your best friends and worst enemies speak to you from the grave!"

I had no choice.

"Ok, I shall tell you"
"Good, now go on the free Computer and type in everything you know"

I walked over to the computer and began what could have been the saviours down fall...

Sorry Al, I've been wrapped up in a lot recently but my promise remains true. I shall now continue the fic...

Obviously, It seemed impossible for me to escape. It was impossible to put one foot out of line without Flax seeing and thinking whatever I planned to do.
All I could do was mindlessly type away at the file, at least if it was finished I would have some kind of bargaining chip for the others' lives.
It took two days for the file to be finished. When I was ready I had to upload it to the chip. I was very curious at this point as to why they wanted my info on Abe to be included in the chip.
Even though I was finished with my work Flax persisted that I stay. He let me read magog monthly magazines to pass the time. I had little choice but to read them. It turned out that there wasn't many there. This was because Sligs and other workers were pouring over them for info to upload to the chip.
The rest of the time I slept. I think the chip had something to do with that. Anyway One night I just woke up for no reason. I wasn't having a dream or nightmare, nobody had shook me or roused me. This left one answer, Flax had purposely woken me up.
I imediately heard Robs voice.

Jim, hurry the chip is almost ready get in the lab and see what's going on!

I walked into the room with the computers, it was empty except for one lone Slig typing away vigourously. The noise he was making covered my presence. Flax was nowhere to be seen.
A nearby screen said 99% upload for the chip. I suddenly understood that this was my only escape chance. If I could possess the Slig I could find the file for unlocking the doors and rescue the others.

I began to chant...

Prepare for massive flow of info!

I had never possessed anything before. It was kind of strange controlling some mindless creature from my own mind. I wasn't so good at it, the slig immediately ended up on his back. I got him up on his feet again. Unfortunately, looking at the screen it wasn't going to be easy to open the doors. The upload had to made before the program could be closed. I had to be quick. I began the upload. Suddenly the slig just exploded. I was back controlling myself again. The intercom buzzed and then Flax's voice came through.

"All employee's make your way out of the main Brewery, repeat, All employee's evacuate the building. The doors will all lock down in ten minutes from now"

I ran to the door which led to the room Nat and Dac had been in.
Dac was pacing up and down, there was no sign of Nat.
"Dac!, where is Nat!" I yelled as Dac looked at me.
"Jim, you're alive!" He cried running to me "we have to leave now, they took Nat"

He ran towards the door and I followed him. He suddenly stopped and fell to the floor. He had been shot with a snuzi and now was fast asleep.

"Jim" said Flax's voice in my head.
"It's time I told you why you lived so long, I'm guessing you'll soon be dead so this is your last chance. The truth is we have been using you as a carrier and finder of information we needed for our project"

"Project...?" I wondered what he was talking about.

"All you can know is that we were trying to create the ultimate living weapon. It has the same chip technology as you and I. That supercomputer the chip was linked to transferred uploaded information into the creatures chip. Even though you only typed about Abe we were able to get your life story through the chip. We know everything about you. Your friends were useful too, but lets begin with you. We now know through you how Mudkons act in situations. All of them were especially staged for you and adapted for what had already occured. In fact this entire Brewery is nothing more than a decoy for the magog's weapon creation. We planned everything carefully. We knew that the mining of Mudokon bones would attract unwanted saviour wannabe's so we predicted that Abe would turn up. Ice had been hiding in our facility for sometime praticing his magic. We knew that your team could destroy him and gain knowledge of black magic, also added to our file. We staged situation upon situation including Ian and Leo to lure you into showing us Mudokon thinking and emotion. Your friends were also good sources for basics that were hard to cover. For instance, being Blinded and still keeping your guard, excellent agility, coping with depression. All were added to our data base"

"You... used us?" I stuttered

"Yes, sadly it is almost over for you. Dac is in a state of deep sleep. He can't be woken until the effect of the shot wares off. He is also fitted with a sensor that will trigger a senquence of exolsions in the main building. It looks like he kept his promise, he is the unluckiest thing alive for you"...

I'm a little bit off the finale for now, but doesn't that make more suspense for you?

I had act quickly. Almost mindlessly. I had about five minutes to get Dac and myself out of the tower and down to the underground area. On inspection the device attached to Dac had five second timer. The amount of time that I touched him would be deducted each time.
I ran to the lift which I had seen Sligs go up and down in a few times. I pounded the button and waited for the lift to rise.
I kind of threw Dac into the lift when it came as it would deduct less time than carrying him. I set the panel for the first floor basement and climbed into the lift. The descent seemed to last forever. Dac was the same as ever and I was careful to avoid his writhing in case of destroying the building. It was now that I thought I had made a mistake. I had no idea what was in store for us at the bottom.
I had an idea, I would hurl Dac out first as whatever was at the bottom wouldn't touch him hopefully.
The floor was rapidly approaching. Suddenly we were there and the door burst open. Sligs rushed at us in rows as I threw Dac into the centre of the small room. They avoided him and surrounded both of us.
The familiar figure of Flax stood behind them.
"Very good you'd make a great infiltration expert If I couldn't see what you were doing at all times"
He walked to the side, behind his tall figure was Nat asleep on a chair.
"He too is asleep, he was shot at exactly the same time as Dac. I think it will be an interesting reunion when they wake up, which should be any minute now in fact"

Nat stirred as did Dac. Nat opened his eyes and yawned.
The snuzi drug created atificial sleep and the effect wore off instantly after waking up. Nat, now fully awake set eyes on Dac, now also fully awake.

"Dac!" He cried rushing to him.
"No!" I yelled as they touched

Every Slig and Flax suddenly dived for cover as the sensor beeped. I was left standing with my eyes closed expecting to be swept of my feet by a large explosion. It didn't happen I opened both eyes suspiciously. Some of the sligs were getting up again now.

"Boss, you said it was a threat!" said a slig to Flax
"It is!" Said Flax now standing nearby.

All was quiet, Dac noticed the sensor and pulled it off throwing it in a corner.

Then it came. An almost silent rumbling noise echoing continuously everytime getting slightly louder. We all cowered together as the noise got as loud as someone speaking. It passed slowly over and rubble gathered in the lift shaft.
It started pouring in.

The sligs now stood up and pointed their guns at us three muds.

"You have surved your purpose here it is time you stop..."

The door on the left hand wall fell in and Scar-eye burst in followed by a bunch of other muds.
They moved swiftly all the muds apart from Scar-eye went straight for a Slig wrenching his gun from his hands and pointing it at his head. All the sligs were now not harmful. Turning around I saw Scar-eye slide behind Flax and push him over. He swung his sword down and placed it neatly on the back of Flax's neck.

The odd's were now much in our favour...

Thanks guys, here's more.

"Nobody move!" said Scar-eye to the Sligs.

The intercom muffled through a damaged microphone.
"Doors prepared for lock down. Locking will be carried out in one minute please evacuate"

Sacar-eye nodded to me gesturing towards the open door. I nodded and led Dac and Nat through.

"Kill the Sligs" Scar-eye told the other muds as he led Flax through the door.
The Sligs were executed with their own guns and the other muds entered the room as well. As the last one closed the door it locked.
The room was square in shape with the lift room we had been in a central separate room. It overlooked, through a large window, a vast cavern. The other walls were equipped with computers and other technological devices. On a nearby office chair sat Ash, our group was reunited.

"Jim," said Scar-eye, "These Mudokons helped me and Ash to escape. They were testing and info gatherers just like us"

One lone mud walked up to me. "Hi I'm Ben and these are Tom, Bob, Jak, Edd and Joe. Sadly I'm the only one of our group who can still speak, thanks to him" He pointed at Flax.

"Hang on now" Said Scar-eye looking at Flax.
"We want some anwsers, what is this place?"

Flax raised his head to look at us.
"This is the control room, the most important part of Soulstorm brewery or, The Soulstorm Weapon Project! It was from this room that we Tracked you and your friends throughout your journey. As you can see, this room overlooks an underground cavern. Somewhere in that cave is the product of all that reasearch I had all you guys do. We discovered this cave and its resident years ago. Then when the Glock Stars decided upon this weapon project we came across an egg. We had already encountered the mother an..."

I stopped him.
"Wait a minute, what is it your talking about here?" I asked

"Dragons, or something like that. It's an old Mudokon tale that made no sense until we discovered this lair. We think it's the last one left which makes it a perfect weapon as only another Dragon can stand up to it"

A muffled roaring noise came from within the cave.
Flax sighed then spoke.

"Ah, the beast awakes"...

Thank's it really should finish soon...

We rushed to the window staring into the cavern. We could see an empty area and then darkness. Suddenly, but slowly came the glow of it's red eyes in the gloom. The light became clearer until it's head appeared. It had two large horns pointing forward and it's mouth spurted flames. Smoke came through it's nostrils when it breathed out. It's legs were huge and thick, it shook the cave when it moved. It's body was massive, connecting to it's long neck and tail and sporting lots of spines on it's back that stuck up into the air. It let out a mighty roar and flames shot high from its mouth. It was definitely a dangerous beast and combined with the Knowledge it had been given it was a weapon to be frightened of.

"Well," smiled Flax "There you have it, the result of our project. Of course it isn't all brute force and Knowledge, it is equipped with all manner of gadgetry. Such as it's weapon defense system. It is with a magnetic force that makes all weapons useless even atomicboommissiles wont stop it!"

"But you still have us to deal with!" said Ash

"That's right, I'll dispose of you then I'll be ready to attack Oddworld with my weapon!" Said Flax in a sly voice.

"Hang on," said Ben "Didn't you say the weapon was for countering the magogs enemies?"

"I changed my mind!" He laughed

"You're telling me you've completely lost sight of your bosses ideas!" I said

"I have here the ability to let loose an attack anwhere on Oddworld with an unstopable weapon, I don't need bosses pushing me around!"

"What if we kill you?" asked Nat

"You won't!"

"We will!" shouted Scar-eye leaping suddenly at Flax surprising him.

"Jim don't!" Said Rob

"Don't do it!" I cried

"Why not!" Said Scar-eye "It's got to end here, think of Oddworld, this freak could desroy the lives of generations for years to come!" He raised the sword for the strike.

"Jim, Flax is equipped with a sensor if he dies..."

The sword hit and Flax was dead. It should have ended then but sadly it didn't, I felt myself falling with the others...
