| - When we last left off, our Earthian friends were currently fighting off the ravenous Blurgeleledleldy fllakkutktktkytres beast of Talimar! “HUH?!” But they lost and every human being on Earth died! And then they all came back to life! So you see, that's pretty much what happened. “WHAT IN THE NAME OF CREAMED CHICKEN ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!” Sakura yelled. Awright, awright, have it your way! Last time we saw them Taiki and Co. had just gone on an incredibly unsafe motorcycle ride and were about to drive through the Bridgewater Triangle with their friends so that they would go to Runescape to save Taiki, Tairin and Tengu's father Sam. Happy? “Yes!” Na-Na-Na-Na-Na, Na, HA! HA! BAKA SURVIVOR- “We don't have no dagnabbed theme song!” Tengu yelled. GLAAAGPTH! On something that is actually related to the story... Anyway, Taiki, Tairin, Tengu, Daniel, Aleksei, Alexa, Sam, Millie, who had managed to get there with nobody knowing, were trekking through the swamp. Strange creatures flew overhead. Strange noises issued from the bushes. Once, Alexa saw a UFO made of energy, with several others chasing it. Finally, they came to a circle of 15 stones. They walked in and- FLASH The group found themselves in a strange psychedelic blue tunnel. Then... SHLOOOOAAARRRRPPPPP The group found themselves being sucked through, watching many strange images on the walls then... PPPPPRRRRAAAOOOOLHS The gang found themselves in a large silver bubble-shaped room. They couldn't explain it at all. They walked out to the strangest display of beings that ever scratched the surface of perception. Let's see now... there were androids, chameleoids, humanoids, insectoids, aside from things ending in oid, there were arachnids, slimethings, (A.K.A blobs of... ooze with colors varying from pink, green, blue, red, orange, purple, yellow, turquoise, and some were colors that I cannot name at all) crustacean-looking things, giant plants, some of which looked like tree spirits, which tended to follow this body type: the girls of that species were always very cute, and they always had green bodies, blossoms of varying bright colors in random places, none of which I shouldn't mention, but they all had one large, brightly colored blossom on their heads. Continuing on, there were things that looked like the every UFO occupant you hear about, bigfeet, weird-looking things that looked like men and women with wings instead of arms, giant werewolf things, giant cat-things,( to get it over with, there were bipeds that looked like almost every animal you know about, mice in particular, and quadrupeds), people that looked like they were dressed up as animals, seemingly ordinary humans, fog, balls of energy that were constantly changing, humans that had the wrong number of limbs in some places, stuff straight out of Stephen King (The Mist, for example) and H.P Lovecraft, and things that defied explanation. “Good gravy! And right in the region of the U.S I call home!” Tengu gasped. He was still ogling. Daniel, however, in collaboration with Aleksei and Alexa, and occasionally Taiki, they had served in many, many movies, most weird and exotic, all with substantial parts. This blew past even the weirdest B-movie they had starred in. “Okay, this is weird,” Sam spoke up. “But we need to get to RS. How do we do that?” “Well,” a deep voice replied from behind them, “I believe I can help you with that.” the guy looked kind of like he was from Africa, and had black dreadlocks with small white tips, had a scimitar hanging at his waist, a spear on his back, and a shield that looked like a wooden mask on his left arm. He wore no shirt, only red and black tattoos. “Name's Atticus Xyxzlyyxzrylcrysxylmyzxxycryslyxlrhyzphyllyx. There's no time to tell you how to pronounce it. My ship, the Prometheus, I,goes to all worlds. Gallifrey, Steampound, Earth, Mars, Moons of Jupiter, Uranus, Betelgeuse-” “Beetlejuice! I love that movie!” Samuel grinned. “The star system, not the movie!” Atticus groaned. “Anyway, you get the idea. To fill you in on where you are... this is the Skygrid, a large network of floating cities and bridges, hovering above the center of Jupiter. So how about that trip to RS?” “Okay!” They walked through the halls, looking at truly amazing ships, until they came to an enormous... thing. It was impossibly curved, with a saucer-shaped bridge and giant engines... I know, bad description, but it's the truth, I can't describe it. “Whoa,” Alexa gasped. “You are rolling in it!” “Uh, that's not my ship. It's right through that door.” he opened it, to find a nondescript room, with something standing in the middle. “Uh, it's a London phone booth.” “I know. Beautiful, isn't it?” “Its a phone booth, you idiot!” Aleksei yelled. “I know. Step inside.” “You did hear what Aleksei said, right? Considering that its a London phone booth, there is not usually very much space.” Alexa argued. “Get in, nincompoops,” Atticus groaned, and booted them all in. The inside was sort of like a Victorian drawing-room, with nice portraits of people with white hair, but the one thing that made it really stand out was the enormous reactor thing with thousands of cogs, pistons, valves, circuit boards, wires, and vials covering it in its entirety. “This is no phone booth,” Taiki muttered. “So, where do you want to go?” Atticus asked. “Runescape,” Tairin replied. “Aye aye,” Atticus grinned. “Ryurin! Fire up the engines!” “Ready for launch, bro!” FUUUUU-WYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM That was the sound of the booth being transmuted into a little blue light. It sped along the weird psychedelic tunnels of the fabric of the space-time continuum, passing another London phone booth, albeit that one was blue. (hint hint) True, the travel was shaky and turbulent. But Sao and Ryurin seemed completely unfazed. Then all hell broke loose.
