To the Ends of Oddworld and Back!

(Ok I have decided to create a bran new RPG that I promise will not be confuseing for all of you because I have implemented certain rules for this. And here they are.)

1. You cannot participate in this unless you:

-PM me your character so I could fit him or her into the story line. Then I will PM you back with information on the story and your character and also so you have an idea of what to write and that your not lost in the woods trying to figure out what the hell that other person is talking about. That way we will all be on the same page and not in our own world where each of us would write our own story and be completly lost. If you want to do that go to FanFiction.

I feel this would be best. There won't be any merging and if there is, then that person will be out of the story possably killed off in the story.

Anyway share your ideas with me and I will share my ideas with you. That is the most important thing we need to know. Make this actually worth while. That way we will all know whoes who in the story and how they will appear in the story. For example you send me a description of your character and I fit him into the story. I send you back a PM of your character giveing you the go ahead and then ill also pm you information regarding the story itself. When that happens you have the right to send me your ideas as well and I will try with all my power to fit that idea into the story aswell via PM. If your idea is considered then I will let you know. This is a group thing we are all equel. Thats all!

If you have any question on what thats all about please let me know and I will explan to you personally in PM.

I will write the first part tomarrow so you can get an idea on what this is all about.

Thankyou for your time
Paramiteabe...

Also one more important thing and that is (I do hope all of you enjoy this story. Lets make this RPG story a fun RPG and a long story.

I was getting tired of RPG practice. I am ready for something epic! I just want to confirm a couple things with this RPG.
1. Will we be traveling to new lands?
2. Will we meet new odd creatures?
3. Can we express full creativity when introducing these new places and people, or must you do that?

paramiteabe · #3 01-25-2003, 10:10 PM

Lets begin shall we!

TO THE ENDS OF ODDWORLD
AND BACK!

Chapter 1 a Desperate rescue

It was a time of dread in the world of odd. Races were being taken as slaves to the currupt powers of the Magog Cartel. Deep in the frozen waist of Oddworld was the crystal of extrordinary powers known as the "Orical." Many cultures balieved it to be a life form of some type called the Ancient One and others balieved it to be a god. But most feared of it for it braught great destruction to those who under estamated it. Its powers were devine as the cultures of Oddworld worshiped the Orical in the early days before the Alchemy age. Now ten thousand years later the Orical has been forgotten through the coarse of time. For most races have forgotten about their turbulent past and their god do to the corruptness of the Magog. And so all worship many gods as they don't remember the one Orical who brought them life. But one being stands alone among the races of Oddworld. A being who the Magog wants for their greedy gain for their weapons production. In a time when the Mudokin nation of Mudos were showing a boldness in the great war against the Magog. The Glukkons wanted to bring an end to this but dident know how.

Until the day the creature Blarg appeared out of a deep dark crevas, hidden in Scrabania. The Vykkers Kidnapped Blarg and discovered his secrets as they were intriegued. Soon following were Glukkons as a mysterous hooded glukkon figure showed Lady Margret that Blarg was their answer to stopping the Mudokins from fleeing. And a way to control the slave labor forces with ease. For this Hooded Glukkon bargained with Maggie for 8 billion moolah for the capture of Blarg alive. But he knew he was going to get that reward for himself.

He worked with the Vykkers when they captured him. But their plans were foiled when the five legonds of Mudos took them out and destroyed the ultimate weapon of power. But did they? For the forgotten Orical looms hidden in the mind of an innocent being who is only trying to discover who he is and where he came from. It is a matter of time until the Hooded Glukkon finds Blarg and for him to discover the Orical. Only a certain of the Magog know of Blarg where as others don't.

Late one night in a crowded Magog town Blarg was moveing quickly as on lookers were seeing this chase take place. Running from a band of sligs who caught him stealing a Feeco train, Blarg was in desperate need of help.

"ANYONE! PLEASE HELP ME!"

Nobody was listening to this strange creature, most of them were laughing at him because they never seen such an akward being. As Blarg was running further into the town the sligs were beginning to catch up with him. And soon Blarg found himself traped in the towns square as on lookers started throwing rotten fruit at him. Blarg suddenly triped over a rock and went flying to the ground. A slig approached him.

"We caught this creature stealing a Feeco Train! What should we do with him boys?"

Everyone shouted out "HANG HIM!"

"You heard them! Give me the rope boys its about time this town has another hanging!"

Blarg was struggleing as the renegade sligs were teasing him relentlessly. The main slig known as Crank approached him.

"Funny you look rather familure! Have we met? No matter your going to die!" as he rapped the rope around Blargs neck.

Just then suddenly a group of Mudokins came rideing into the area on their Elums chaseing out the sligs and saveing Blarg from certain death.

Latamire_Munch · #4 01-25-2003, 10:49 PM

When the Muds rode in, the leader of them yelled to a pale skinned Mud. "Xan, get that creature down and take him back to camp! We'll make sure those sligs don't come back!" And they rode off.

Xan approached the strange looking thing and took the noose off of his neck. "Let's go." he said and led the creature out of the town.

While walking, Xan said, "Don't feel bad or anything. I know what it feels like to be an outcast."

Darkest · #5 01-26-2003, 03:00 AM

Nevjuul watched from the darkness. He was following Xan and the thing... The creature beared the mark. He was The One... The One he must destroy.

He approached Xan, he had come to befriend him slightly during his journey's with the Brotherhood of the Elum. Nevjuul was going under the name Nevji Jewelbash, the Bodyguard of Rubiso Storm, the robust leader of the Brotherhood of the Elum.

"Xan, let me see the creature."

Nevji rode up to Xan, looking at the creature.

"May I..." he asked the creature, pointing at his forhead.

But he could already see it, the mark upon his head. Yes, it was him, it was The One. It was the one that he was sent to kill.

Nevjuul smiled, grimly, at Xan and the creature.

"Sorry... carry on." he said, and slowed his Elum to the rear of the band of Elum Riders. He had to have time to think, and time to consult with his goddess. Dark Walker, the small, dark blue third moon of Oddworld, had just underwent its full moon stage. He would have to wait at least four fortnights before the time would be right to contact his goddess.

Until then, he would wait and follow the creature.

paramiteabe · #6 01-26-2003, 12:34 PM

As they were moveing through the forest Xan asked Blarg who he was.

"May I ask who you are?"

Blarg looked at him and said. "My name is Blarg and I have been on the run for two years now. Its a long story that I will tell you when we get to the camp. Tell me though who was that stranger who wanted to look at me back there? In a way he reminded me of somebody I once knew. Something of the past."

"A friend?" asked Xan

"A competitor!" replied Blarg "See this." as he pulled out an old looking piece of paper. "This is a map a very old map that I have recieved from from a wise Mudokin a long time ago." The symbols on it represent something that for some odd reason could be related to me somehow. All my life I was searching in this world if there were more of my kind but I have fallen short of that. This map has the same symbol on my head. A representation of me that I have no idea on how it got there. But must find out."

Just then Blarg put the map back under his cloak as the group was approaching the camp. The camp was rather huge that consist of 5 Mudokin tribes. Everybody was stareing at Blarg for they never seen this creature before. Then one of the old Mudokin guards approached the Mudokin scouts that had Blarg.

"What is your business here with that thing you have there?"

"This creature was being tortured by sligs in the small Magog town of Cluttes. He was going to die. Can we bring him in?"

"Well yes but be forwarned theres rumer going around that a dangerous individual is out and about in these parts. We will keep a close eye on your friend."

"Thankyou."

And so the small Mudokin troop rode into the camp to rest as Blarg got off the back of Xan's Elum.

"You will stay in my tent Blarg as I will go get you some food." said Xan

"Thanks Xan."

Blarg looked about the camp as most of the Mudokins looked as if they were at war or something. He wasnt sure so he asked a commenor.

"Excuse me can you tell me what happened here?"

The commenor looked at him and was frighten.

"Get awey from me you thing!" as he ran off.

"Sorry!"

Still a little hung over from the incident with the sligs he sat down on a log waiting for his friend Xan to return with food.

FireFrog · #7 01-27-2003, 12:38 AM

Blarg waited for what seemed like ages. Xan was sure as hell taking his time. Blarg began to here something in the distance... a moaning...

"Oooooooooooooh... Noooo... NOOO! Ooooooh..."

Blarg decided to investigate. He stumbled through the bushes in search of the cause of this strange noise...

He found it. As he entered a clearing, he saw a Slig sprawled across the ground... a Slog and Paramite by his side. On his left shoulder, there was a strange scar glowing gold...

He was muttering, "Nooo... oooooh... Anc.... ANCIENT OOOONE!!! Vy... Vykkers Lab... Labs......."

Latamire_Munch · #8 01-27-2003, 12:47 AM

Xan finally returned with a big bowl of food. "Hey, Blarg, I didn't know what you wanted so-" he suddenly realized Blarg wasn't there. "Blarg?!"

------------

Meanwhile a few miles from the camp...

Drogin's tiny body ran as fast as it could. "Leave me alone!" he screamed.

"Com'ere little grub and play with us!" his chaser, Crank, called after him.

Drogin was a midget slig, being tortured and chased by his own slig brothers. He knew he wasn't faster than them, eventually they would catch him and it would start all over again.

"Leave me alone!!"

Latamire_Munch · #9 01-27-2003, 12:48 AM

ok,its changed

paramiteabe · #10 01-27-2003, 01:48 AM

(Thats ok this works)

As Blarg approached the injured Slig he was a bit cerous on what that scar was and why it was glowing.

"Are you alright stranger?"

"OHHH....ANCIENT ONE HELP ME!"

"Who is this." As Blarg paused for a second. He began to realise what he might be talking about. "Oh no this is not good!"

Something frightened Blarg as he turned his head back to the camp.

"You stay there stranger and I will be right back!"

Blarg quickly went back to the camp calling for Xan to come and help him.

"Xan Xan! where are you?"

"I am right here Blarg whats wrong?"

"I found a paramite a slig and a slog lieing on the ground just outside of the camp. they might need our help. Even though I hate industrials with a pashion though I do sense a goodness in him. We might need to help this individual. He has been mumbling words that I havent heard in ages!"

"What kind of words Blarg?"

"The Ancient One!" as his eyes were wide open as if Blarg saw a ghost.

"The Ancient One? What is that?"

"He could be refering to me. I have to leave this place." said Blarg

"Where are you going Blarg?"

"Someplace far beyond Mudos. The symbol on me has lit and the stranger carries the same symbol. He also said something about Vykkers Labs. If my theory is correct then I balieve we are in grave danger!"

"What sort of danger?"

"A power of unspeakable might that one beholds. it is the Orical!" as he stared at Xan.

"Well Blarg if you must then I am comming with you. I don't know what this Orical is all about but it sounds like an adventure to me!"

"Are you sure Xan. I don't wish you to come with me on this quest but if you must then I am deeply greatful. But I do warn you this will be an endever that will most likely be dangerous than you can possably imagine! First we have to search for the great Carnra stones which are scattered across many lands. there are six of them that we must find and then we must seek out the Orical!"

"What is this Orical?" asked Xan

"It is something that is ancient that could wipe out all life on Oddworld. Before the Magog the Orical was the one thing that everyone and everything worshiped. It has been forgotten for ten thousand years. And now it is has awaken. This old ripped map is a map of the region of which the Orical exist. Though part of it is missing we need to find the other half. The Orical is waiting craveing for its destruction once more. If it completes its destany then all of this, you and your friends and the rest of Oddworld be no more."

"What about this Ancient One?"

"I am beginning to think that this Ancient one the stranger was refering to is me. I know this is confuseing but you must trust me on this. Something bad is going to happen and I think I am the one who needs to stop it."

"Thats sounds incredable where do we start?"

"First lets get that slig back to health!"

And so Blarg has revield a revelation to his friend Xan and possably their new found friend a slig could hold a clue to Blargs ultimate destany. For the future of Oddworld could very well be at risk.

FireFrog · #11 01-27-2003, 09:23 AM

Many spooce shrubs later.....

Krezz awoke to see a strange creature and a Mudokon staring straight at him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!" Krezz screamed and quickly backed away, "Who are you?! WHO?!"
The Slig picked up his rusty Popper and lined it with Blarg's head.

"Don't shoot!" Blarg quickly said, "Please, I think you may be important to us... you spoke of the Ancient One... something about Vykkers Labs..."

Krezz flinched at the words of the Ancient One as if he was in a great deal of pain. "Somehow... that name... the Ancient One is familiar to me... but... I can't remember... anything..."

The Paramite and Slog raced up to Krezz.

"Rubix! Keero-Keero!" Krezz exclaimed, "I remember you two! Look... Blarg was it? I am tired and could do with a meal... would you allow me to accompany you for a night or two... untill I find a nice town to settle down in."

"You certainly may... Right Blarg?" Xan replied.

"Of course." said Blarg smiling. "By the way... I didn't catch your name Slig"

"My name? Well it's... Krezz!"

paramiteabe · #12 01-27-2003, 11:39 AM

"But only a night Krezz. For Xan and I will be leaveing this place soon. Its very urgent that I must find this." A sort of pause came over Blarg and he said "Orical?" It is something that I have forgotten. Whats going on here?"

Krezz looked at him funny. "Orical? what is that?"

With a confused look on Blarg's face he explaned. "I am not sure. Something of great power?" as he contemplated.

Krezz looked at him and was confused. "I am not sure what you mean. I am not what I used to be Blarg. Though I do remember something that happened in Vykkers Labs. Please let me rest I have been on the run for a long time now." as Krezz dosed off to sleep.

Blarg looked at him and was deeply confused. "Xan what do you think this could mean?"

"Blarg you were part of some secret the Vykkers were conducting under the control of a Glukkon who was shrouded in mystery. That is all I know. Anything is possable. But I myself have a little secret to tell."

Meanwhile off into the center of the Magog Cartel was the Great "Hall of Larve" Where her majesty Lady Margret resided.

"FLASK, GET IN HERE!" as Maggie rumbled to her Glukkon servant Flask. Flask was less than a pud as he had no status in life. Infact he doesnt wear any suit. an embaressment for the Glukkons who run the industry.

"Comeing your uglyness!"

"HOW LONG WILL THAT ANNOYING CREATURE BE LOOSE IN MY CARTEL? WHERE IS THAT STRANGE GLUKKON WHO BLATENLY OFFERED ME A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF 8 BILLION MOOLAH! AND HASEN'T RETURNED WITH IT!" HE FAILED AND I WANT HIS HEAD!"

"Blarg you say? I am not sure your majesty. A lot of the sligs have been off duty on holiday your majesty. Only certain groups have been on duty and I don't balieve they even know anything about that creature. Though near the Peramonian Forest there were siteings of him off and about with a band of Mudokins. I balieve the slig "Crank" told me this you uuuuure your majesty!" as he crouched down in the presence of Lady Margret.

"FLASK! as Margret hissed at him. "YOU ARE ARROGANT! I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT THAT CREATURE FOR WE WILL HAVE HIM! I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT GLUKKON! THOUGH I THINK YOU NEED TO GET OUT AND ABOUT. as Margret laughed.

"YOU WILL GO FIND THIS GLUKKON AND BRING HIM TO ME!" as she hissed. "ONE MORE THING ORDER ALL SLIGS BACK TO WORK. THEY ARE NOW TO REPORT TO THEIR WORK STATIONS. HOLIDAY IS OVER AND TAKE 90% OUT OF THEIR DAYLY PAY OF MOOLAH. NOW GET OUT OF HERE I NEED TO BIRTH!"

"YIKES! as Flask ran franticly out of there in search of the reclusive Hooded Glukkon.

Darkest · #13 01-27-2003, 12:17 PM

Nevjuul was heaving very hard. He made himself calm, and slowed his breathing. He was blending in the shadows, behind a tent, watching the creature.

No one could see him, he was completely invisible in the shadows. His dark skin made him melt in with the scenery.

The Oracle... the Ancient One. This minute they were planning to go see the Ancient One! He must find a way to go with them... but how?

He could be their body-guard, that was what he was good at. Nevjuul sneaked away from the shadows, ducking and weaving stay out of sight.

The North Road... take it... ten miles down... wait there. said a voice... the weak voice of Nevjuul's master.

"Hee-yah!" he shouted, and his Elum, Lightsend, galloped down the North Road.

The Creature of the Oracle will take this road, and when they find me, I'll join with them. Thought Nevjuul. He sped down the road, he split the night, and did not stop till he was a good ten miles from the village.

Latamire_Munch · #14 01-27-2003, 10:55 PM

Drogin ran further, with Crank and his gang gaining. Suddenly, the little guy ran into some one or something. He looked up into the face of a creature he'd never seen before. At first, Drogin was too scared to move, but then a Mud approached and said, "Hey, a baby slig! Is he your's too Krezz?"

"I am not a baby!" he growled in return.

Blarg lifted his head, "Someone else is coming."

Drogin squealed, "Gah! It's Crank! Hide me quick! Hide me!"

((Sorry mine are so short, my keyboard is messed up and its aggravating when I have to type a lot))

paramiteabe · #15 01-28-2003, 12:19 AM

The flash back!

In that moment of a rush Blarg and his friends snuck behind the
tentof Xan. Crank and the sligs were burning the camp and takeing Mudokins captive. It was a quick escape for them but they were un noticed by Crank. Unnoticed because they were invisable do to Blargs powers.

As they were leaving the camp rather quickly they were at a sfe distence under an old Mudokin Totempole.

"That was a close one guys!" said Blarg. "We can't stay too long they will find us."

"What do they want with you Blarg?"

"Its a long story! Maybe the face on that Totem could answer the question!"

They looked at the Mudokin Totem and saw the face of the one who all Mudokins charished. For it was the face of the legondary Abe.

"Ah yes who could forget him."said Xan."Your right Blarg we could use him right about now."

Blarg approached the Totem and began to shed a tear as he was remebering.

"What is wrong Blarg?"

"If only you were alive Abe. I could use your help right about now."

"You knew Abe?"

Blarg turned to Xan and Krezz and smiled. "Oh yes I knew him well. Years ago Abe found me in that Crevas and took me in. I learned a lot from him. I also knew his friends Munch, Squeek, Nod and Sling. They were the legonds of their respective races. Abe was killed in that Blast upon dark island "The Magog's Junk Yard and the resting place of the Vykker Mother ship.

"What were his last words?" asked Krezz.

"He told me that I will be with all of you. That place!" Blarg was remembering his first Oddysee. "I remember it like it was yesturday. Dark Island the Vykker Mother Ship, The weapon. and the Glukkon the Hooded Glukkon."

Just then the scene fades and showes images of Dark Island and Blarg being in the chamber on the Vykkers Mother Ship.

("NOOOOOOO! ABE NOOOO I CAN SAVE YOU!"

"LEAVE ME I WILL BE WITH ALL OF YOU! Yelled Abe

Suddenly Blarg took off carrying Munch and Squeek out of the Mother ship back to Mudos. and then the blast!) "end scene from my first fanFic

"

"Blarg Blarg? You ok?" yelled Xan.

He came to himself again.

"What was that all about Blarg?" asked Krezz.

"Just bad memories!" No matter lets get moveing I had enough of this place."

And so Blarg after remembering his past they set out once more.

Latamire_Munch · #16 01-28-2003, 01:41 AM

((ooc- you forgot to write in Drogin! He's in the gang now.))

Xan trudged along following his strange variety of companions. The group had a long awkward silence between them. Being quiet made Xan think and he hated to think, because thinking made him remember.

In is dense little mind was a small pocket of his own bad memories. He remembered being strapped to a cold metal stretcher and being electrocuted over and over again. They put him on extra life support so he wouldn't die. And then, there was the chamber-

His thoughts were interuppted by Drogin's voice. "I forgot to tell you, my name is Drogin."

Xan smiled, "My name is Xankain, but everyone calls me Xan for short."

The tiny slig leaned closer and said softly, "I wanna thank that wierd guy up there, but I'm kind of scared to."

"Aw, don't be scared of Blarg, he's nice. Go on and tell him."

Drogin picked up his pace a bit to get to Blarg's side. He tapped his leg and stuttered, "E-excuse me sir."

FireFrog · #17 01-28-2003, 02:50 AM

Krezz walked alongside Blarg. He felt like he strangly belonged with these creatures. Rubix and Keero-Keero stayed close to Krezz.

The terain soon became extremely rocky and there were large crevases in the ground, ditches and what not. They had been climbing overthe rocky landscape for a while now, when they noticed a spooce field ahead of them. Keero-Keero was excited. She imediantly raced toward it.

"Keero nooooo!" Krezz screamed as Keero-Keero headed toward a large crevace in the ground. She could not possibly clear such a gap. Krezz raced forward and quickly pushed Keero-Keero out of the way.

"KREZZ!" Xan screamed, "WATCH OUT FOR THAT..."

Too late. Krezz stumbled over a badly placed log and began to tumble and roll down the large crevace in the ground, hitting his head every couple of seconds...

Above, Blarg, Xan, Keero-Keero, Rubix and Drogin only heard this: THWACK! BLAMPH! RUCKSH! BOOM! DADUMPHLAMUPUMPH!

They winced at every sound and blow.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Krezz looked around... he was tied to a table... the table was moving... Interns... Bright light... Vykkers... Screaming... Sawing... talking...
"This scar is the .... of the .... ......"
"What do.... .... do?"
"We.... ..... .... learn.... ...."

They talked for hours untill...

"No.... cannot be...."
"Must.... .... .... kill it!"
"..... KILL IT!!!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Krezz was suddenly back at the bottom of the crevace. His face in the dirt. He got to his feet and looked up. Blarg and the others stared down at him.

"ARE YOU OKAY?" yelled Xan.

"I... don't know..." Krezz muttered to himself... confused.

((Hmm.... Krezz's past comes back to haunt him))

Darkest · #18 01-28-2003, 11:53 AM

A Creature of the Ancient One was trapped in a crevasse, how delightful! Even though Nevjuul was far away, he could still weave necromancy into that tunnel.

Something had died in that crevasse, a large, snake-like creature only known as The Brack. It would serve him well.

"ARE YOU OKAY?" yelled Xan.

"I... don't know..." Krezz muttered to himself... confused.

"NEEEE-JAH!" screamed something. Krezz heard the voice of the undead Brack, coming for him.

"XAN! SOMETHING... IT'S DOWN HERE!" Krezz yelled. The thu-thumping of dead scales were heard all throughout the caves and tunnels that Krezz had fell into.

Speak your last words, Ancient. Nevjuul laughed in his thought. There is little you can do to get out of the skeleton Brack.

paramiteabe · #19 01-28-2003, 01:56 PM

The Brack was getting closer as Blarg approached the Crevas.

"Krezz! called Blarg. "are you hurt? I will come down there and get you out. Quickly Xan do you have any ropes on you in your pack?"

"No." as Xan shrugged.

"Great I knew we needed to bring supplies with us!"

"Blarg I think Krezz has the supplies." said Drogin."

"Thanks Drogin but that won't do us any good. A Brack is comming we need to get down there or he will die!"

quickly Blarg grabbed a root that was on the edge as he called out. "Krezz I am comming down!"

Just then Xan grabbed Blarg and asked "What are you doing how will you get him out of there?"

Blarg stared at Xan "I don't know I am makeing this up as I go!"

"Hurry the Brack is getting closer!" yelled Krezz.

Blarg took the root and prapelled himself down the Crevas. But the root was too short. Blarg yelled up the crevas. "XAN YOUR GOING TO HAVE TO CUT THE ROOT!"

"YOUR CRAZY BLARG!"

Suddenly the sound of the Brack was getting closer. "You are going to have to cut the root!" As Blarg looked at him with a panic expression on his face.

"Your going to get hurt Blarg!" yelled Xan

"Xan, we are going to DIE!"

Xan took the root and ripped it as Blarg fell in. "Look out!" Blarg landed on the ground and tumbled about. He managed to get him self up as he dusted himself off.

"Krezz you ok?"

"I am fine but we need to get out of here!"

Just then the mighty Brack came out of the tunnel and now Blarg and Krezz were in there with the Brack. For they are blind but smart creatures.

Xan and Drgin were watching this.

"Drogin this is crazy but they need are help and I am not going to stand around and watch my friends die!"

"You said it Xan."

"Blarg were comming down!" yelled Xan as he grabbed another root. "Hold onto me Drogin!" and they were now decending into the crevas.

The Brack was cornoring Blarg and Krezz because it smelled them.

"We will have to fly out of here since I am the only one who can fly".

Just then Xan and Drogin came falling into the crevas as our heroes were now stuck with the Brack creature.

"LOOK OUT!" yelled Blarg as Xan and Drogin fell in.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Great now what do we do were all down here and stuck?" complained Krezz.

"Blarg looked into the dark tunnels and said. "Shut up if were quite we might be able to sneak past that creature."

"I don't know Blarg I rather risk you flying us up out of here."

"I can't carry more than two people it would be too late anyway. Let us brave the Brack. Besides something has occured. That beast is dead but alive. I sense Black Magic."

And so our heroes were going to brave the tunnels and the undead of the Brack beast. For an even greater mystery has come over our heroes for now they suspect black magic.

Darkest · #20 01-28-2003, 09:26 PM

Bracks
Strangers to the Forest would find it extremely hard to believe the scale of life here. Apart from the trees kilometres high, with branches up to a hundred meters thick, there are also the Bracks. These huge creatures can grow up to three hundred metres long, and fifty wide. They resemble maggots from a distance, but are in fact vertebrate, simply with many stumpy legs and an extremely fat body. They feed on the huge fungi that grow on the forest floor, and have no natural predators except for the occasional lucky Kikkit [q.v.]. Nothing is known about their breeding, and the possibility of a Brack Queen hardly bears thinking about, since the ordinary Bracks are bigger and fatter than the queens of most species.

Edit your post... And, laser-flight isn't possible.

paramiteabe · #21 01-28-2003, 10:10 PM

Ok its fixed and much better carry on!

Darkest · #22 01-28-2003, 10:17 PM

Nevjuul was working hard at controlling the beast. It smelled food and wanted to eat, yet it could not see. It had ideas of its own, ideas that Nevjuul couldn't control.

Through the Brack's Sensory Feelings he could see that the Ancient Creatures were going through the tunnels.

The tunnel was big enough for only the Brack, but it had a small path right to the side. If the Brack could roll over, the creatures would be smashed under it's weight. The Brack was very long, and the creatures would have to walk for another thirty minutes to get to the end of it.

Roll to the side! Nevjuul shouted.

"The creature is rolling!" shouted Blarg.

"We have to get out of here!" they all shouted, but the Brack was closing in on them and there was no escape.

"Run! Hurry! Before it closes up!" Xan shouted, for he had spotted something... there was a crack in the tunnel wall, only a few meters in front of him.

The Brack was on them... only a few more steps to the crack, but how could they make it?!

"There is only one way we can get through that crack. Hold on to me for I will create the element of water!"

And so the companions of the ancient one held to Blarg as if he were a floatation device. And then Blargs energy orb appeared once again as it circled him and the rest. Blarg then called out.

"I curse these tunnels with the element of water!" The brack suddenly stoped inches from them as it grew quite. And then a low rumble was heard comming from deep in the tunnels. It was getting louder and louder and then it happened. A surge of water came washing through the tunnel as the Brack sensed trouble it backed off awey from the crack.

"HOLD ON GUYS!" yelled Blarg

"The water came rushing in as Blarg grabbed hold of a stalag might. The power of the current was so strong it pushed our heroes through the crack onto the other side drowning the beast in the process.

Everyone let loose of Blarg and Blarg approached the crack and quickly summoned the element of rock to ceal off the rushing water. And now everyone was safe or were they?

As they were getting them selves together again Blarg notice the surrounding area in which they entered into. They were on a beach that was lit by the crystals high in the ceiling of the chamber which made everything look like a bright sunny day. But underground?

"Guys I think this is not suppose to be here." as Blarg pointed.

"What is it...! Wha?!" cried Xan. Everyone was deeply in a sense of shock as they looked out to what appeared to them to be a vast underground Ocean and a beach. For the Companions of the Ancient one have entered a mysterous underground world with a vast sea in front of them. Who knows what dangers await them in this new enviorment for the unknown has come.

"This is really creepy." Xan said with a shudder.

Suddenly, a deep voice said, "Great, you cut off my only exit."

Drogin noticed the strange creature and said softly, "What the heck is that?!"

"Let's see, a Mudokon, two sligs and I don't know what you are, my friend." The stranger approached Blarg to get a closer inspection. "I am a Cri'len and my race has the power to sense and communicate with all animals of Oddworld. We talk with nature and listen to the winds. And you my friend, I have never seen your kind before, I sense a lot of power within you. Can you tell me about yourself?"

Darkest · #25 01-28-2003, 11:55 PM

Paramiteabe, you used a lot of power, Blarg should be weakened for a while, atleast a day. Don't be overpowerful.

***

Blast! They... they took the crack!

Nevjuul whacked the earth over and over again. They were in his hands! He could have killed them! His mission could have been over! Nevjuul sat there, slumped over on the ground.

How was he to get to the cavern they had gone to? His connection had been severed from them, and now how would he get to them?

Nevjuul got upon Lightsend and started off, slowly, down the trail, the moonlight lighting up his way.

"I had to ceal the crack because of that Brack creature. I summond the element of water and drowned the beast in our desperate attempt to escape that ordeal. If I dident we would have been goners. I wouldnt dig through for the otherside is completely underwater.

Though I am cerous on this place how does such ocean's exist underground my Cri'len friend? Oh I forgot my name is Blarg and I don't exactly know what I am. For it is of great importants I do find out. but this map may have some clues to my destany. Its a long story that I will have to tell you as we settle in. Can you take us to your dwelling or village or what ever you live at down here?

Tell me my friend where are we? This place is amazeing on how you keep the underground so lit up as day down here and that everything is tropical and warm down here in the underground. How is it so? And the vegetation is remarkable.

Unfortunately we are missing two companions. Keero- Keero and Rubix. a slog and a paramite. They would love it down here. Most likely they are in that Spooce shrub field we saw before we ended up down here. I am sure they will be ok Krezz don't worry I am known for takeing creatures in to safty. When we were dealing with that strange Brack I also through my mind gave them sanctuary. They will play in the spooce shrub fields for hours and won't even bother leaveing. Anyway we are on our way to the sea on the surface of course. I have to get to the continent of Lok.

"But...." as Blarg stumbled about "I am weaken from useing my orb powers. I need some rest! Like I alweys say I hate that ORB! Why does it do this to me? Every time! As Blarg took a deep breath "Sorry its my orb. Its a curse on me that everytime I use it, it alweys eather weakons me or mocks me. And I can't get rid of it. But without it we would be lost. Its pretty much a mentor in my life who like me was created for a purpose. You can say its my god that I worship. Unfortunately!"

"What is it made out of Blarg?" asked his friends.

"I don't know sometimes I teleport into it and for some reason I teleport into a mini Universe of complete infanity where I can see stars and moons and other worlds. And then a force holds me in place and a voice starts talking to me and starts giveing me advice or tells me riddles or makes fun of me or starts cracking jokes about me. It is really wierd and all I know is that a long time ago this orb came to me and stayed ever since! Well there you go thats what I have to offer. I protect the innocent of Oddworld by giveing them sanctuary and then I can summon elements of nature to defend myself and lastly I have the ability to mind surf which can influence me in rather dangerous ways. I try to stay awey from that ability as much as I can. For its brought nothing but trouble and I can't control it. But please I need to rest my strength I am weak!"

Latamire_Munch · #28 01-30-2003, 01:04 AM

"My name is Gyron." the Cri'len said, "Come with me." As Gyron led Blarg, Xan, Drogin and Krezz further down the beach, he continued to speak, "You see this underground place is actually sort of a miracle. I talk with the life down here and they tell me that they were drawn down here by the scent of water. Some how, many many years ago, this ocean was created. That caused the vegatation to grow. As for the light, well look up."

They all looked up and saw rock formations that were glowing.

"Those rock provide the light. As for me, I am the only one of my kind on Mudos. I used to live on the other continent known as Garkkil. There our race was the main inhabitants. We have Muds, sligs, glukkons and all the other Mudos races there as well. The glukkons began to drive our race to extinction because our muscles were the tastiest meat in Garkkil. Our hardened skin was used to make decorative knick knacks and our thick 'wing skin' under our arms was used to make the most fashionable clothes. Well to escape their clutches, my tribe and I tried to escape by making a flotation device, but the glukkons captured us before we could leave. I was very small back then, so they didn't see me hiding on the boat, so I slowly drifted out to sea and made my way to Mudos, eating fish and sea water to keep me alive. Finally I made it and I made a seclusive home underground, instead of my usual tree homes, so no one would find me."

They made it to Gyron's home and he took them inside.

paramiteabe · #29 01-30-2003, 01:50 PM

Blarg was rather more cerous with Gyron as he explaned on how he connects with the life of the underground. For he too originated underground before he was found by Abe. Life before that is clouded in the mind of Blarg.

"Please can you sense what I have gone through? Do you know who I am? Oh I am sorry for that remark. Its just that I wish there was more of my kind somewhere in this world. Of all the times I have searched "To the Ends of Oddworld and Back" I found nothing! I am an outcast and alone. And I have no memory of my kind. I don't even know what I am or was." as Blarg sat there depressed.

"This orb that I despise, mocks of this burden I carry. And I truely can't do a thing about it. So I am stuck worshiping it and useing its powers which have manefested in me as you already know. In a way I balieve it will be the death of me. But also I wouldn't have gotten this far without it."Now I find a map which contains the same symbol upon my forehead. and my friend Krezz also has a similar symbol. What could it mean?"

Abe's son · #30 01-30-2003, 07:15 PM

Paramiteabe, can I be in this yet, or have you not posted my chara's coming?
