Introduction
Angeror and the Reaper have trapped the Wise Old Man in Hell, as of RuneScape - Regicide. Years later, chaos everywhere will be caused with the return of a few nasty characters.

1 - Time is a Valuable Thing...
There is no heaven or hell. Just the Eternal Void (although Angeror created a pocket universe called "Hell"). When people die, their souls are automatically transported to the Eternal Void. There, they are trapped as ghosts of their former selves.

Some powerful mages, like Necromancers, can summon souls out of the Void, giving the summoned soul a body of either a ghost, zombie or skeleton. The Grim Reaper can access the Void at any time, and release the inhabitants any time. Once released, the Reaper may give them a full body of their normal selves (but they can't be alive; meaning they may look real, but they cannot be killed).

The Reaper has been waiting a millennia to release the contents of the Void onto Gielinor, his least favourite planet just for fun. Yet, he has permission to do it from his superior, Angeror.

"Time is a valuable thing, watch it fly by as the pendulum swings. Watch it count down to the end of the day as the clock ticks life away..." said Angeror.

"Once a great clan stated that. Time on Gielinor is about to perish...."

2 - Filling In the Gap
This basically explains what my characters have been doing since previous roleplays

John Dixon

After the trek up Mt. Titania, John had gone up in the Dracomancer order, becoming a lieutenant under the king. He was sent on the most dangerous of assignments, such as collecting rare artifacts and taming the mightiest of dragons. But John wasn't satisfied. Instead of doing things for the good of Draco, he wanted to do things for Gielinor. For the people. Not just the Dracomancers. So, at around the same time as RuneScape - Regicide, he "Disappeared", to wander the world, helping people. He then rejoined the Dracomancers, and was welcomed back in awe, being reinstated ( by request) as a group Sergeant, taking the place that Sergeant Malfoy once held.

Prototype

In 179, (the year before this role play is set), some of the scientists at the ZTI (Zamorakian Technological Institute) found his body, as well as the bodies of the Clone Drones. Finding the organic parts of his body still to be alive, they fixed him, adding enhancements such as extra armour, a shield and a blaster. He started to stir, and muttered, " I... am awake... I... did not die... where am I...?"

"You are in our laboratory. We've fixed you, and then spruced you up a bit. We've found that you can control stone. Very useful, if you ask me. You've also got a new flying system, some better joints, and a bow and arrow for protection. We've also locked your electromagnetism chamber, so we can't have a repeat performance of last year's invasion."

"I am awake... You have continued... my suffering... You will... DIE!" His systems fully rebooting, he raised his arm, the rocks from the top of the cavern falling down on the scientists. Then, using his new jetpack, he flew out of the cavern, bursting through the stone and landing hard on the desert floor.

The Assassin

Humanity bites.

Deep in the caverns of the Fremennik hills, a man who seems human but doesn't quite qualify is strolling backwards and forwards muttering to himself that his life isn't really fair. This is The Assassin, and your going to have to get to know him quite well, but at this point in time I think I'll elaborate on a more familiar character.

Sergeant Malfoy

There was a disturbance in the Void. And when I say disturbance, I refer to the "disturbance" that occurs when one pokes a needle into a balloon, supposing that the everlasting void of the dead is a balloon, and that the hand of several angry gods are needles. One angry God, Draco, has made a particularly smaller hole in the balloon, but the thing that has ended up skewered on such a needle is Albus Malfoy.

Albus didn't feel much. He wouldn't, being dead and all, but deep down he knew something wasn't right. For one, it was rightfully true that he was dead, and he couldn't think of a reason why there was a beating in his chest, and he kept inhaling and exhaling as if, like some weird ghost he was alive. Indeed, he was alive - but where?

''And there we go. Hope that was enough''

3 - Faction Override
The Scorpozi had been trapped in space for years. But now, their crystal prison exploded, releasing the monstrous aliens and their gigantic leader, Scorpozis Prime.

But out of nowhere, a strange whisper entered the brain of the Prime.

"Seek revenge on Gielinor. The Unknown have been taken care of..."

The Prime hovered towards the Jagex Nebula (Scorpozi can breathe in space), with its army of 5 billion.

Commander Zantroz had returned to Zantroz, failing. He was assigned a new team, the all new Zantrozian Arbiters. This time, 300 warriors were in the team.

But a strange whisper entered Zantroz's brain.

"Gielinor has weakened. Seek revenge. Help destroy the planet. Regain the The Objects of Power."

The three Zantrozian ships set co-ordinates for the Jagex Nebula.

The Creed of Assassins were in deep hiding. Their shadowy criminal underworld had strengthened since the great bank robbery. They virtually became the Mafia.

They were planning another attack, this time on Varrock, the heart of Gielinor. They would be rich by the time they finished their "dealings".

The Karazahn Alliance fleet of 3 million were heading towards the Jagex Nebula, after their leader, Karaza, was contacted by a strange voice, instructing them to retrieve the Staff of Power and destroy the planet in the process.

4 - Connections
Present Day, Somewhere near Al Kharid

There landscape was, as usual, flat. Very, very, flat, and the only movement was the short whisper of sand blowing across the ground. Then, there was a sudden sandy puff of yellow smoke, and John Dixon appeared. He reached into his pocket and brought out a shabby map, no bigger than a handkerchief, and then walked forward a certain number of paces. After that, he did a quick panorama and saw what he was looking for - the cavern.

He sprinted towards it, looking for any survivors, and when he reached the cavern he gasped and looked inside. The only things undamaged were the cast iron table and the two corpses. Looking up, John saw the perpetrator, the man-sized machine. Slowly he took out his quiver, and fired an arrow into the machine's chest. It bounced off with a resounding 'ping'. He decided to take a better look.

When he got to Prototype, he saw the full extent of the damage. The machine's head had been badly dented, and thick black smoke was pouring from it's neck. A small fire was burning on his back, and as John stared at the machine's face he felt a certain sympathy for the poor creature, destined to be treated as a tool. The machine's eyes suddenly lit up, and like a nail being scratched down a board it cried, "HELL! EVIL! DEATH! ARMAGEDDON! HELP!", and with that he shut down again.

John sighed and started work.

5 - Darts and Darkness
There was a map in front of the Reaper and Angeror. A map of Gielinor. Angeror and his counterpart were planning their attacks.

"You know Angeror, my skeletal spies tell me that there are converted Cybermen that will be against us. And there is a secret organization is forming to combat us. Its like they are expecting us"

"Meh."

Angeror threw a dart at Lumbridge.

"You should open the portal here. That King Lance loves this town, it will destroy him to see his town destroyed..."

The Reaper threw a dart, and it landed on Varrock.

"The Universal Rift runs through here. The Torchwood team are here also"

"You should pay them a little visit. I'm sure the Scorpozi will attack here. The Zantrozian Arbiters will attack the Taverley-Burthorpe area, and possibly even Mt. Titania. The Hydraxites and Karazahn, well, I told them the staff could be anywhere. Once these great armies come, i will make sure they form an alliance."

Angeror then got out some small figurines. These figurines looked like King Lance, Treo, Drauss and Cratus.

"We cannot fail. I will crush these miserable mortals once and for all!"

He crushed the figurines.

"Ya know Angeror, we were gonna use those as voodoo dolls."

"Who needs voodoo when you have Angeror!"

A skeleton suddenly appeared and started whispering to the Reaper.

"We have new adversaries. A cyborg, a dracomancer, and some weird prodigies. And one soul escaped from the Void"

"No big deal. They shall be crushed! And one soul cannot cause any trouble!"

Arnie 19:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

6 - Incoming defence
"Now come on, start making sense. Why are you mumbling about 'danger' and 'hell'?" Said John, pulling the heavy metal being up so he was resting on John's shoulder. Slowly Prototype managed to inch forward his right leg, and then his other leg, and slowly they both slowly limped in unison towards the direction Prototype had come from.

"They are coming!" it screamed, with a blatant inhuman twang, "Alien invaders from far in your past will return, and then the contents of Hell itself shall be poured onto RuneScape! There is nothing we can do!" After this a sharp scratching noise came from deep within the machine, vaguely resembling a laugh. As he limped on, some smokey gas started to hiss from his joints, and the scratching turned more into a deep moan. John carried on regardless, keeping him ever firm on his shoulder.

As they neared the cavern that Prototype had seemingly exploded out of, they heard a slight groan coming from the edge of the hole. John stopping, placing a hand on Prototype's front. Slowly, a small spike of black hair poked up from the cavern, and the face of a rather disgruntled scientist peered over the top.

"Where... am I?" he asked, a deep-seated uncertainty in his voice, "Why... is it so sandy? Why is Hell so sandy? I thought I was dead... am I dead? Are you people dead?"

"Erm... No." said John, patting down his heart as if to check it was still there.

"I guess I'm not dead either then. Wait a second... I've seen your face somewhere before... although I can't seem to put my finger on it..."

"Well I've never seen you before, sir," said John. He noticed that Prototype was standing perfectly still. The scientist's face lightened up, and a banana-like grin overtook his look of confusion.

"That's it! 'Sir, yes Sir!' It's good old John, isn't it! Yes, it's all coming back to me. But, wait, I'm dead. Damn. What do you think, private?"

"I have frankly no idea who you are, sir, but if I was to digress on whether you were alive or dead, I would have to say that you look pretty much alive."

"Oh. Well that's a shame. I was looking forward to the walking through walls business. Never mind, I'm getting away from here..." he said, and without care or attention he lifted himself up. "So... how far away is Port Khazard?"

"About ten miles, give or take. I could try to teleport you there, sir." John said, his self-esteem running the ten miles or so needed away from John and waiting patiently for him to get back.

"Sure, recruit. Or is it 'Warrior' now, boy?"

"I have your job, sir. I'm a Group Leader>"

"Aye, quick to jump into my coffin eh, boy. On second thoughts, that might not be the best phrase to use..."

John had took off his pack and gave a still silent Prototype to the scientist, who looked at the pile of metal suspiciously. The machine always looked as if it was staring at you, no matter where you stood in relation too it and however much you tried to imagine that it wasn't there.

"Here it is, sir" he said, pulling a rune from his back and buttoning it closed. "Hold my hand if you will, sir." Instead, the scientist simply placed a good grip on his shoulder, and John threw the rune forcefully to the ground, causing all three of them to vanish in a puff of purple smoke.

7 - New Kids on the Block
The ship bobbed on the deep South Sea surf. In the stern of the Home Vessel, Drauss and the Prodigies were facing a captured com-screen broadcasting a live message from the ship to the Base.

"Cratus wishes good luck!" said the Crate Creature back at base.

"Thanks Cratus," said Drauss, hidden behind the blue-white visor of his personalized Cyberbody, "We're gonna need it. Keep up the patrols and all that stuff, won't you?"

"Cratus will! Goodbye!"

"Bye old friend." said Drauss, before deactivating the screen. He turned, aiming a remote at a large, needle-like object in the center of the room, and hit a small grey button. Drauss was always cautious to disguise the Master Triggers of any device as a seemingly normal button, so if it did fall into the wrong hands they would waste valuable time trying to find the correct button.

The needle sudden glowed red, and suddenly turned into a red slit in time and space, widening and growing at a slow rate. The slit turned from straight red to a crimson-red-brown-black mix, pulsating energy and releasing heat. This slit was quite literally the road to hell.

"After you Kairie!" Drauss called, as the slit began to roar. Kairie, in her blue Cyberbody with gold trimmings, checked her backpack, sealed her helmet completely, and walked right up to the slit. She put her armoured hand in to check whether it was complete - sure enough, her hand remained steady, no different to what might happen if you put your hand out of a window. Only now, outside the window was Hell.

"Let's roll!" Kairie's soft voice came over their suit-to-suit radio, and leaped into the slit.

"Ok, Yargther, you next!" Yargther nodded, checked his suit, and jumped into the hole.

"Go La'ab!" called Drauss, and another Cybersuited figure ran into the slit, jumping head first. The other five did this, leaving the room abandoned, except for Drauss.

"Make way for Drauss!" he said, "Go... DRAUSS!" He ran towards the slit, jumped, somersaulted through the pit, and suddenly found himself falling. Eight figures were falling far beneath him, towards an obscure cloud of black. Beneath that cloud...

Was Hell.

8 - Old Friends
The two outcasts hugged each other like old friends. "Where have you been?" asked John.

"I was hiding from the public view. I've managed to sustain it for so long... except for that incident in 178, I'll never trust a woman again..."

The Prototype stared at the symbol round the Assassin's chest. "That symbol, it symbolizes peace. Why do you where it?"

"Nowadays, this symbol isn't worn by many. A group is popping up, claiming the apocalypse is coming, that hell is being ripped open."

"We have heard the same."

"But," John, "to fight you'll have to reveal yourself to the public."

"I've got to take that sacrifice." The assassin sighed, looking down at his chest and then at the futuristic cannon-like weapons behind him. "They approach" he said, and flipped a switch on the wall. The ceiling then opened, and the cannons opened fire.

9 - Ghosts of the Past
The Eternal Void is literally nothing. Just a white tunnel that goes on for eternity. Here are the souls of the damned (technically, dead).

The souls do have interaction, and look exactly like they were when they died, just see-through with flying abilities. The Void has many different species of alien, and lots of humans.

At the side of the tunnel were contraptions called "windows", where the souls can see what is happening in the Universe. An undead Cyber-Lord is looking through one.

"Look at them. Using my Cyber-army for their benefits. And whats more disturbing that I have emotions now! How can i live with such pain!"

Another familiar face walked to the window.

"Talking to yourself again, Cybey?" mocked the evil Cyranus Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen.

"At least I don't look like a moldy marshmallow!" the Cyber-Lord retorted.

The grin faded from Slitheen.

"Look here metal face, I rule this void. I am the strongest one here. Watch your mouth, boy!" the Slitheen waddled off.

The Cyber-Lord sighed and stared at the window.

"So this is what hurt feels like. Stuck in an Eternal Void."

Drauss and the prodigies assembled on the ashy ground, arming lasers and surveying the area. Drauss quickly switched on his sensory antenna. A burst of short fat wires emerged from a bulbous globe on the back of his helmet. Instantly, results started pouring in. He radioed the others.

"Everyone okay?"

"We're all fine, boss." Came the reply, crackling over the radio.

"Good. Now, we need to move out and occupy a position. Kairie?"

"Er... this ash is thick, but I think there's a large hill at this location."

A small ping! reverberated in each of their helmets, and the HUDs showed in the distance the outline of a steep hill, which looked like it had been cut down one side.

"Let's roll!" Drauss called, and the nine of them started running behind Drauss towards the hill, skirting natural funnels and vents of lava and toxic fumes. After about five minutes, they reached the foot of the hill. It towered above them, red, like a cartoon bruise - albeit with one side shaved off into a sheer, 50 meter cliff by a slow moving river of lava. Drauss beckoned at the others to follow him, and they quickly abseiled the steep side, using the built-in rock-picks and ropes that were included in their suits.

After another four minutes, they emerged onto the blunted top. It curved, then flattened out, in a manner so unusual nothing in the Wilderness could match it. Drauss and the others scrambled up the last few meters, then stood straight up at the top of the hill.

"Okay everyone, equipment, pronto." Doarle, the tallest Prodigy, and therefore the one with the largest backpack, hit a button. The top part, a cylinder, fell off, and impacted on the dusty ground. La'ab quickly ran up to the pack at put his gloved hand on a sensor on the lid. The blue screen glowed green as his hand was scanned, then rotated with a hiss of steam. La'ab reached inside and pulled out a load of seemingly useless doodads, laying them across the ground. Then, he pressed a button on a remote he had procured from the canister, and the "doodads" suddenly burst into several tents, which shot pegs into the ground.

"I love these compressed camp packs," muttered Drauss, then "Ok, Mordi and Urtur set up and secure a perimeter. Everyone else, unpack and set up for the night!"

The hastily obliged, and Drauss walked into one of the smallest peach-coloured tents. He took off his backpack, pressure-sealed the door, and emptied out a set of metal items. As the roar of outside was deafened, he set up the metal items and hit a button on a similar remote to the one La'ab had been using. A bed, a wardrobe, and several other devices suddenly appeared, but most importantly, a small screen. He pressed a button after it deployed, and the small screen flickered into life. Cratus's smiling face emerged on the screen.

"Drauss! Cratus wonders if the mission is underway?"

"Well underway, Cratus. We've just set up the base."

"Good, good. Well, we're getting reports of strange activity nearby, so Cratus is gonna check it out!"

"Good for you, Cratus. Over and out."

"You too, says Cratus. Out."

The screen flickered off. Drauss sighed. Now he truly was in Hell.

11 - Transmission
Suddenly, out of nowhere, in every major city on the planet, a huge TV screen appeared in the sky (above the cities). Angeror wanted to talk to Gielinor.

"Citizens of Gielinor, aka puny scum. I am the Angeror, the most powerful being in the Universe. But alas I am not talking about my life story. I have a warning, to you humans, goblins, elves, ogres, giants, trolls and whatever disgusting creature dwells here. Armageddon has come. As we speak, several billion hostile aliens are heading towards you, ready to annihilate you. Whats even worse, the dead will come back to haunt you. Quite literally! And I shall stand on a burnt planet, victorious. I won't have to feed for years! I ---"

The broadcast was interrupted, and instead on the screen was The Stranger.

"Oh hello, sorry about the horrible beast thing you saw earlier. I am the Doctor, a 903 year old Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous, and I am the man who will save your lives and possibly the trillions above you! Anyway, the Angeror is right; you will be completely obliterated by aliens. You must band together, and unite as one. I have been researching planet for years, and look at these great clans you have! The Gielinor Defender Group are doing most of the work! Dracomancers, Asgarnian Marine Corps, King's Order, RuneScapian Secret Order, Dragon Slayers, Axe Riders, Outlaw Horde, Facemask Gang and the 1st Golathion Project! Well, not the Golathian project, no way its too early for that. Well, come on get out there, and defend yourselves! Don't leave yourselves to die!"

The screens disappeared, infuriating Angeror in secret. The message really reached out to people.

Arnie 17:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

12 - Response
The Misfits saw the message, and John sent a message to the stronghold. Suddenly, there were warriors and dragons materializing all over RuneScape.

The remains of the clone drones awakened, and used their elemental powers against the invaders.

Malfoy, in a move of insanity, the possessed John. He put his hands to his own neck and said, "Stop the guns or he dies!"

13 - When Dimensions Clash
The Eternal Void had suddenly slanted, causing the souls to fall (but they flew afterwards), towards one big window just created. This window was a portal to Gielinor.

And before them, appeared the Reaper.

"This is your time of reckoning! Every soul here will be free from this Void, and into the planet Gielinor! Some of you may be familiar with it, but we are going to invade this planet of the living. Once you escape, you will regain your original bodies, and be virtually invincible! You will still be dead, but you will kill the inhabitants of this world, and re-populate it! If any of you have any objections, you may stay for eternity in the white, never-ending Void. Once you cross over, you will be given appropriate battle-ware by my skeletal servants. You will never get a chance like this again, so what is your choice?"

Every soul was pouring through the portal. The portal lead to Lumbridge, where skeleton and zombie warriors were already there. The souls had their bodies regained, but lost the ability to fly (unless they could already).

The undead started to attack Lumbridge. Soon, the souls were spreading throughout the planet. Supported by skeletons and zombies, there were an assortment of weird creatures.

The Cyber-Lord had the chance to have his revenge. He had some undead Cybermen on his side. This new Cyber-unit started their killing spree.

Cyranus Fel-Fotch had a gang of other Slitheen family members, who were killed by vinegar and nuclear missiles previously. Hydraxor and a few dead Hydraxites were also causing chaos.

After the transmission, many citizens had evacuated onto "sanctuary bases" on various uncharted islands in Gielinor.

The various alien forces were also getting closer.


 * Remember: You cannot kill these undead souls if they are already dead!

Arnie 16:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

14 - The Wrong Side of the Bed
Drauss was just waking up when he suddenly heard the static on his com-screen fizzing and crackling. He bolted up and hit the "on" button. The static was replaced by an image of Cratus.

"Drauss! Cratus says we've got a big big problem!"

"What is it?" asked Drauss.

"Our portal monitors just when off the charts simultaneously! And we've received a message from Angeror that was replaced by some guy called the Doctor." Cratus blurted.

"Doctor of what?"

"Er... I think it was just a title. Anyway, there are huge W-axis particle leaks all over Gielinor! What should we do?"

"Mobilise everyone we have. Put a decent detachment at each major South Ocean portal and spread our teleport relays to all major towns and cities. This could be disastrous if not handled correctly."

"Cratus agrees. How are you doing?"

"Er... it wasn't a bad night..."

FIZZ-SHOOM!

An explosion rocked Drauss's tent.

"Gotta go, bye!" He called, hitting the "off" button and pulling up his suit. He opened it up, stepped inside, then closed it. With no time to lose, he took his helmet, sealed it on, then grabbed his Assault Laser and Battery Blaster. He slammed his hand into the panel by the door, bundling his weapons into his free hand, then rushed through the door as it hissed open.

Outside, the Prodigies were assembled, looking up at the sky. Where it had been a red-black veil, it was now a grey-white tunnel, leading on infinitely. And, ominously, it was descending.

"Doarle!" Drauss bawled into his radio, "Pack up the base! Everyone else, with me!" The roaring of Hell was replaced by the screeching of the tunnel as it slowly turned. Lightning leaped from the tiny ridges that spiraled around it's inside. When Drauss had finished ordering the others, the tunnel had been about an inch wide from his point of view - now it practically surrounded them, dropping down around their hill to reach the ground. Whenever the "walls" hit a mountaintop nearby they molded to it's shape then kept on dropping, like a curtain. Then it began to creep across the ashy ground and up the sides of the hill. Lightning danced around the Prodigy's base. The tunnel wall was creeping up the mountain about a meter every half minute. Eventually, it was right up to them.

"Jump when it gets near you!" ordered Drauss. As the circle of silver-grey closed around them, they jumped. Only, they did not come down - instead they were blasted in a flash of light and zipped away up the tunnel. Drauss was last.

"I hope this was a good idea!" he said to no-one, before activate the Super-jump on his suit and soaring up as the tunnel closed beneath him. Instantly, a cloud of white surrounded him, and he felt stretched. He was being pulled up the tunnel...

Cratus was only slightly worried by the fact that all the portals were activated. He became quite worried when he heard reports of strange undead creatures attacking Lumbridge. Then he became immensely worried when they got a video link confirming those reports. Cratus was not too great a leader; it had always been Drauss who had given most of the commands as a fine soldier, whereas Cratus was typically a ceremonial leader. Nevertheless, when he knew action was needed, action was what he gave. He ran up to the command room, and grasped the microphone there.

"Attention! Attention! All troops to battle stations! All vehicles and starships prepare for battle at Lumbridge! All naval vessels prepare to bombard enemy positions! Mobilise base for most advantageous position regarding battle strategies!"

In a moment, the otherwise fairly organized life in the base was thrown upside down as troops ran to their rallying points and crews sprinted to their vehicles. Red lights shone as battle stations was initiated. Then, quite unexpectedly, the floor shook. Down below, the base had released it's clamps on the ocean floor and was activating it's amazing engines, which were slowly driving it up from a small island range south of Tutorial Island to the mouth of the river Lum.

Fifteen minutes later, the sound of laser fire erupted in Lumbridge, fighting for a chance to grow louder than the groaning and chinking from the undead creatures attacking the town. Since the Cyber assault, it had been rebuilt with better strategic defensive positions and the castle had improved tenfold, but it was still coping badly with the sudden unexpected attack. Until, of course, the GDG arrived.

Armed with lasers, rifles, e-guns and Battery Blasters, the GDG's ground forces ripped into the undead horde. The Cyberhumans activated their wrist-lasers, shredding zombies here and there, whilst Cyberbody-clad warriors ran into the swarm of undead, ripping apart the bodies and coating them with acid from their Battery Blasters. Tanks opened fire, obliterating chunks of the zombie army.

But the zombie army kept on coming.

And coming.

And coming.

15 - Pointless
"Okay, okay, it was just for show anyway", he said, flipping the switch to turn the cannons off.

"Okay.", he said, stepping back into his old body, "That was giving me a banging headache. There are only two ways to fully destroy a soul. The first is to crush it in a cyto-chamber and swallow the ashes. Since they haven't existed for 5000 years, we'll have to use the other method. The souls can be sealed back into the void forever if we can find the right spell. I haven't seen the spellbook since before the battle."

"Then, lets go to Ardougne!" said The Assassin, "Um... thinking again... how do we get to Ardougne when souls are attacking people everywhere?"

"Souls can be held off with certain spells, knocked semi-conscious, for a short while. Crumble Undead would do."

Then, as they finished speaking, the chamber was flooded with souls, looking for new bodies, as their old ones had been obliterated. They cornered the group...

16 - Revenge of the Slitheen
The souls were looking for new bodies to inhabit, but most of the souls had already retained their old bodies from the Reaper. John was trying to negotiate, when a huge monster appeared before him.

"Me and my crew don't need any more bodies, but one thing we do want; the Eternal Void is empty, and you shall re-populate the dead space!"

Cyranus Fel-Fotch swiped at John, only to be stopped by Prototype, whose hand had turned into a sword.

Both were having a duel, the Slitheen's claws acting as swords. The duel was bitter, but Cyranus simply signaled to his undead brethren and they grabbed the Prototype, even paralyzing his circuits.

"That is a robot, it does not have a soul. But you humans, have these strange destructive weapons. That is impossible for you. You bunch aren't even a level 5 planet!"

"I don't know what the hell you monsters are talking about, but we shall send you back to Hell! Fire now!" John screamed.

The Assassin fired full blast at the Slitheen. There was a massive hole in the middle of his head, but frighteningly his face had simply reverted back to what is was before.

"Try again, Einstein! You can't kill something that's already dead!"

But suddenly, a huge nova blast appeared, and sent the Slitheen and other souls flying out of the building.

"I'LL BE BACK!" screamed Cyranus.

John revived Prototype, and stared at their savior. A strange man was standing there, with a strange bazooka in hand.

"I am Mutra Achilos, and I am your savior!"

Arnie 20:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

17 - Okay...
"Okay, thanks but we've gotta go somewhere," he said, grabbing Proto, Malfoy and the assassin, then dropping a random combination of runes onto the ground and disappearing.

Boop!

They appeared in the Dracomancer stronghold. There was chaos, the undead attacking left, right, and center. The elites had the right idea, firing crumble undead to hold them off.

"Help!" somebody shouted, "They've possessed the Ugaki!"

"Time to run..." said the assassin, grabbing two swimsuits, as Malfoy and Proto could breath underwater.

They Swam to the surface, and then saw what had become on Port Khazard.

It was hell on earth RuneScape.

18 - Watch the Skies
The sanctuary bases were getting full. The trillions of undead on the planet hadn't found them. Yet.

The skies were darker. Day seemed to be night. The darkness of the planet is due to many gigantic objects entering the atmosphere.

The Zantrozian Arbiters came first. Three stealth starfighters came and started to bomb the sanctuary bases. After that, the Arbiter's "mothership" came along, deploying about 300 troops. The sanctuary bases were made of dragon metal, but that won't save them.

75% of Gielinor population are in these sanctuary bases. They need a hero.

Cratus was watching from a safe distance. He was shocked to see ruthless aliens killing innocent people. It was a slaughter house. All sanctuary bases had been broken into now.

"Cratus ponders what Drauss would do in a situation like this?"

Arnie 15:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

19 - Return of an Emperor
Two dark figures appeared around the group, and they were teleported out.

Boop

The Figures revealed themselves. The one nearest proto was the Dargenath, while the one near john was Draco himself.

"I saw that my followers were in danger", Draco said, "I knew I must do something. I pulled my brother from the Void and set to work. I arranged spirits to be sent to protect you. I brought another soul out of the Void to tell you what to do. Albus." He said, giving Malfoy a slight nod, which he returned.

They were on the Draconic Plane. Dargenath opened his mouth, and his tongue hissed, "We will give you this stone, which will teleport you anywhere. It has to be specific though, so you cannot teleport to a lost item, for example."

"We will go now. Thank you for your help"

"We will be watching over you, young one."

Boop

They appeared in the clearing near the old Ardougne base. They walked into the circle of stones, which by now were lumps of moss, and walked down the stairs that had suddenly appeared. As they walked into the (seemingly) empty cavern, the stairs disappeared and John said, in a cold voice, "We Are Not Alone"

''To be continued... ''

20 - Questions, Questions...
Mutra Achilos found John Dixon and his "crew", in the base.

"Before you can escape from me again, I came finding you for a very important reason. I tracked you here, using this tele-tracker."

"But who are you, and why do you need us?"

"I told you, I am Mutra Achilos. I am part of the Gielinor Defender Group, RuneScape's finest military army against alien attacks. We have used alien technology from previous invasions, and created a full fleet of battle cruisers."

"But I need information, and you will supply it. I was present during all 4 alien invasions, starting 12 years ago. But I was never in battle. I stayed my distance."

"I have all the information I need about the great Battle of Asgarnia, but the Scorpozi invasion remains a mystery...you there, John Dixon, were present, correct?"

"Er..."

"Good. They are coming back. I need to know their weaknesses! And what about the time Mt. Titania cracked in two? Why were these "Arbiters" there? And this scanning device implies you are not human. Are you an agent for one of them?!"

Mutra pointed the nova blaster at John.

"State your allegiance, and make sure it is the truth! And I also want answers to my questions! I will only shoot if you are some sort of scout for the invaders!"

Arnie 16:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

21 - Bombardment
Cratus was still wandering about his course of action when a soldier stepped in.

"Sir?"

"Mmm?"

"The fleet is ready for the bombardment." he whispered.

"Cratus thinks this is excellent!" Cratus jumped up from his seat, and said: "I want a 3-hour bombardment on Lumbridge! Withdraw all forces!"

"If I might ask, sir, why risk destroying Lumbridge?"

"Precisely! Why did the undead attack there first, Cratus thought. Then, Cratus realized, that they must think it is important! Reducing it to rubble will trick them and make them focus on somewhere else."

"Yes sir!

Suddenly, the GDG's forces pulled back, as if repulsed by a huge - er - something. Troops fled down into the swamps, up to the field, west to forest and east to Al Kharid, making the undead think they had won.

Until one hell of a bombardment hit them.

Imbued with magic, the shells and missiles erupted into halos of blue fire, shredding any undead caught within their blast radius. Acid-belching whizz-bombs spun through the air, scattering dollops of corrosive acid everywhere, before exploding on the ground or on a building. Slowly, the town was reduced to rubble. But still more souls were coming through the tunnel, pouring out into the real world. Until the flow started to peter out, until no one came through.

But there was still stuff inside; namely, eight Prodigies and Drauss.

--Fegaxeyl 18:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

22 - Well for your information...
"Well for you information, I am John Wulfric Hobnob Butter (Not Margarine) Martin Brian Gherkin Dixon. I am a Time Lord. I am 789 years old, and I'm the one whose gonna save your life and the billions of live around us! We do not need your help, and we only wish to help you to the extent of saving your life!"

"Come on John, Give him a chance!", Prototype said. "You can #buzz# come with us #buzz#"

"I accept your invitation as long as you tell me the info on the way".

John grumbled as they moved further into the chamber. The chandeliers that once glowed red were now unlit, and they seemed to be a beacon of Gielinor's situation.

"Where was it?" asked The Assassin, scratching his non-visible goatee.

"Over here!" Shouted Malfoy. There was a stone tablet on the wall in place of the book. Inscribed on it was:

To find the thing you seek,

Fix the spurting leak,

The place where your book will be found,

5000 leagues of sea, not ground 

"We're divin' boys!"

23 - Division
Drauss and the Prodigies did not know where they were. Their minimaps were offline, and they were surrounded by a huge silver tunnel, with "windows" into the outside world. Most of the windows showed spectacular star clusters or just blank space, but a few showed planets, and what was on them. On one planet, there was chaos.

"Gielinor!" realized Drauss.

"What about Gielinor?" asked Mordi.

"Can't you see what's going on? This is the Void, and it's contents have been emptied onto RuneScape!"

"So...?" wandered Creeth.

"For Saradomin's sake! We need to go back and help them!"

"But -" started Doarle.

"- We only get the opportunity to enter Hell once every eighty thousand years if you're still alive!" finished Yargther.

"We have to save Wisey," agreed Urtur.

"No way guys!" challenged La'ab, "We need to save Gielinor! Who knows - in twenty years time we might have the technology to rip open the Void and then rescue the Wise Old Man!"

"Yup," Thyra nodded, "I'm all for saving Gielinor."

"That makes three," smiled Drauss.

"Three to six." pointed out Yargther, "That means we're still for finishing the mission."

"You are for finishing the mission," whispered Thyra, in a threatening tone, "Us three are going back to Gielinor and rescue the Wise Old Man later."

"Yeah!" exclaimed Mordi, suddenly, "Our priorities have always been RuneScape first, mission second."

"So you're with us?" asked La'ab.

"Duh. I'd rather run the risk of having to wait until I'm old and crippled to save the Wise Old Man than stay in this Void forever with no Gielinor to return to."

Arguments broke out. The shouts of the Prodigies were so loud it seemed like Drauss was hearing white noise.

>>Activate sound control Y/N

Bleeeeeeeeeeeep! A horribly high-pitched note reverberated through the helmets of the Prodigies, shutting them up. When it stopped, Drauss spoke calmly:

"As commander I'm ordering you all to return to RuneScape and help out with the battle. You should be able to find a way out at the end of this tunnel."

"And you, boss?" asked Doarle.

"I'm gonna stay here and save the Wise Old Man myself."

"What? You'll never find him!" muttered Yargther.

"On the contrary," said Drauss, pointing out a nearby "window." Outside was a glowing wormhole, and suspended in front of it by bizarre, impossible strings was the Wise Old Man.

"Good luck!" he said, floating up to the window and emptying thirty rounds from his kinetic rifle into it. The magic field composing it fizzled into nonexistence.

"Get going!" he called, as he activated his vacuum-lock and jumped out the hole in existence. The Prodigies "swam" through the air to the bottom of the tunnel.

Drauss took one look back, then heaved himself through the hole and entered into space.

The Prodigies arrived in a quite obliterated Lumbridge.

Cratus was more than surprised when he heard they had arrived.

The Wise Old Man was shocked to see a futuristically-armoured person come floating through space to rescue him.

And then the true battle began.

--Fegaxeyl 09:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

24 - Sacrifices must be taken
"I cannot dive!" Said Prototype

"You may not have to.", Said John, "I have realized something. I sense rescuers in the void. Humans. We cannot close the void with them still in it! We need you, prototype, to send a vision screen to them to tell them to come out. Can you do that?"

"I will try"

"Ok, gang, we'll have to brave port Khazard. I'll use the Tele -... pebble, and instantly go there."

Boop!

"Quick, grab a suit and Dive!" They rushed about in a frenzy, and when all of them were underwater, they dove.

The underwater world was much more serene and peaceful than the world above. They guessed that the book, or a further clue, would be near the Giant Crabs. They swam over and asked them about any strange tablets or books.

"Well, funny fish, we see big, flat rock fall in mudskipper hole. We too big to go in so we no look for it."

"Over here," The assassin whispered. They all climbed through the hole, and, sure enough, was a tablet. This one had the following written on it:

The thing you seek must be important,

You've followed me here, under the sea,

I could be a murderer, I could be an ant,

Find the wrong mudskipper, and you'll be it's tea.

The group looked around, with a sour look on their faces.

A video screen appeared in front of The wise old man and Drauss. "You must escape from the #Buzz# void, before we #buzz# clo...". and with that it shut down.

"Well duh!" said Drauss.

25 - Planet of the Lost

 * During the whole of this chapter, the song Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park is played.

The Scorpozi were here. Many citizens recognized them. Then Scorpozis Prime entered the atmosphere, smashing all glass on Gielinor in the process. The giant beast overshadowed Falador. The killing spree continued.

The Karazahn also arrived, with their starship fleet, shooting lasers and attacking the GDG fleet.

Undead Hydraxites besieged Al Kharid. Undead Daleks hovered in the swamps of Morytania. Undead everywhere.

"This planet is lost." muttered Tarachi. He sighed and was killed by a Scorpozi.

The Arbiters had destroyed every sanctuary bases. All survivors were in hiding.

And Angeror just fed off the chaotic energy. But there was a disturbance in the force. The Wise old man was being rescued! Angeror wondered how anyone could enter Hell or the Eternal Void without dying. He teleported to the Wise old man's prison.

Angeror found Drauss and the old man, and grabbed them.

"One minute you're on top, the next you're not. Watch it drop, making your heart stop, just before you hit the floor!"

Angeror dropped them on the floor, where the ground had suddenly become a pit full of monstrous alien worms.

"They will devour anything in their way. You know, rescuing this old git is the death of you, Drauss. I will make sure your friends die on Gielinor, fighting valiantly in battle."

Angeror disappeared in the shadows. The monster worms cornered them...

Arnie 10:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

26 - Bringing the fight to them
"DO SOMETHING!" screamed Drauss.

"Drauss?" asked the Wise Old Man, "Is it really you old chap?"

"DID YOU HEAR ME? DO SOMETHING NOW!"

"Relax," smiled the Wise Old Man, "That wormhole will help us."

"What?"

"You don't spend five years suspended in front of an amazing feat of nature and not learn something about it!"

"Well, Professor, a Maths lesson sure would be useful right now!"

"Don't worry, old fellow. That wormhole is about to..."

Suddenly, the wormhole erupted in a flash of light that seemed to be penned by a bizarre ripple. The ripple tore through the wormslugs, but Drauss and the Wise Old Man were protected by a shield the latter had just created. Then, suddenly, the ripple splintered and the "shards" imploded, reduced to tiny beads. These beads flew back into the dying wormhole, and ripped through the sides and collapsed the wormhole's "mouth."

"Nice trick," complimented Drauss, "But how do we get out?"

"Aha!" cried the Wise Old Man, "We simply teleport away!"

"What?!"

"No no, if we combine our two teleports - you do have a teleport - oh, good - we should create a powerful enough spell to catapault us back to RuneScape!"

"Er... spiffing?"

"Spiffing it is! Let's go!"

Cratus was shocked. Everywhere, millions of undead creatures were destroying RuneScape. All the Sanctuary bases had been obliterated, although thankfully no-one had died. But even so, that meant there were 100,000 civilians protected only by a battery of quad-missiles and a triaxial shield screen (they had been teleported to a Fortress Island that the GDG had owned).

Cratus sighed. True, in the last invasion the deaths had been worth the alliance that had risen from the ashes. But now, what use was a simple alliance between mainland Gielinor and the populace of the Crate Archipelago.

The Crate Archipelago? thought Cratus, hopefully. Then, suddenly, he sprung up and ran to the Commander of Civilian Activities.

"You!" Cratus called, "Cratus orders you to set up a one-way teleport link!"

"Where to, sir?" asked the Commander.

"From the Fortress Island to the Crate Archipelago! No undead are there, inquires Cratus?"

"No, sir!" called one of the Alien Monitors.

"Good! Get everyone through ASAP!"

"Yes sir!" bellowed the Commander, as Cratus walked off.

"Sir!" said a red-coated human running up to Cratus, "We've just got reports of the Prodigies returning!"

"Knew that."

"And - er - Commander Drauss and the Wise Old Man!"

Cratus, who had been drinking a cup of coffee, spat it out.

"They're here?"

"Yes sir."

"Woohoo! Boo-yah! Whoop!" Cratus cheered, then did a little jig (only to stop it suddenly when he noticed everyone was looking), "Ahem, ah, send out one of our Cyberdestroyers to pick them up and return them to the base!"

"Yes sir!"

Cratus smiled for the first time since the undead had attacked.

--Fegaxeyl 10:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

27 - Of Cyborgs and Skin Suits
After he had finished working out the clue, John reluctantly filled Mutra in with the details. Mutra was suspiciously interested.

"Well, you coming with us Mutra?"

"Im sorry, but no. My mission has been accomplished. Anyway, Im rusting up."

He lifted up his shirt, and it was robotic. His legs were also robotic.

"My secret shame. I am a cyborg."

"Wait, i thought you were human?"

"I am part human. I had a terrible accident a few years back, but the GDG rescued me and turned me into this."

Mutra was about to wish them farewell, when a fat person swam up to them.

"Excuse me, you are the Dracomancer John Dixon, spirit Malfoy, the Assassin and cyborg Mutra Achilos?"

Before they could answer, the fat guy unzipped his forehead, and Cyranus Slitheen was revealed.

"You wouldn't believe who has put a bounty on your heads! The lord Angeror himself! I shall be the one claiming the benefits!"

"Swim you guys! I can buy time!" Mutra shouted.

John and everyone reluctanly swam. Mutra pointed his nova blaster at the Slitheen, but he just ate it. He picked up Mutra, squeezed and squeezed until he was nothing more than a pile of metal.

John was shocked to witness this. He swore revenge before swimming into a cave.

Arnie 12:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

28 - Escape
Mudskippers could now come out of the cave. John picked a random one and fired a spell at it, and, sure enough, it disappeared, a tablet appearing in it's place. The clue told them to kill the one who had sent them to hell.

"We have to kill... Death. The Grim Reaper. The King of Darkness. How can you commit an act of murder on the one who allows one to do so?"

"I'm guessing that yet another spell must be cast, or item to be found?" Said Malfoy. They climbed onto land and teleported back into their old base, which had now become their camp ground."The Staff of Power. Have you heard of it?"

"Oh god, don't remind me." Said john, nearly falling over when hearing it. "We'll need to visit the Peacekeepers. Again to Varrock!"

''The next one'll be longer. I promise. Really''

29 - Two men vs. the World
Drauss and the Wise Old Man had arrived, but not in a great place. Their teleport had worked fairly well, until they realized they had reentered RuneScape from several meters up.

"Aaah!" the cried as they tumbled the last few dozen meters. For a moment, they slumped on the ground, dizzy, then they picked themselves up.

"Ooh..." said the Wise Old Man, "Where are we?"

"Er..." Drauss waited for his HUD minimap display to flicker on. When it did, he thought there was something wrong - the ground was red instead of the usual purple-pink. Then Drauss realized that the ground was purple-pink on the map - it was just obscured by red dots. And red dots meant enemies.

Drauss looked around. All around them stood a horde of undead imps.

"Imps?" sniggered the Wise Old Man. That was when the imps leaped, fluttering their tiny wings and swinging their tinier swords.

"Aah!" said the Wise Old Man as the imps descended on him. He tried to bat them away and kick them whilst Drauss loaded his Battery Blaster.

"Eat acid punkolas!" Drauss shouted, and fired the Blaster. The cap at the end of the barrel flicked open, spewing small, cylindrical batteries. The batteries each locked on to an individual target, and a tiny device inside each one opened the top ever so slightly. When the battery hit it's target, the lid snapped off and enriched battery acid spilled all over the target. Imps fell and collapsed on the ground as the acid ate through their undead skins. Drauss fired repeatedly until every imp was dead, or twitching on the floor.

"That's a nasty weapon you've got there, old son!" commented the Wise Old Man.

"Does the job though." shrugged Drauss.

"Do you know where we are?" asked the Wise Old Man.

"Er... oh, here we go - the Sarim Peninsula." answered Drauss.

"Spiffing! I need to get runes, though."

"Nah, you don't want runes. My GDG is completely independent of magic. We use stuff like this!" said Drauss, handing the Wise Old Man a Diskazor. The gun was lime green and inside was a cache of steel-alloy ultra-nano discs.

"Hey..." wondered Drauss, "What's that over there?" he said, peering out into the bay. Then he exclaimed, "It's the base! Excellent! If we can get a boat..." he was going to finish, but then he saw that Port Sarim was being torn apart by a legion of undead demons.

"Ready to test out that Diskazor?" Drauss asked the Wise Old Man.

--Fegaxeyl 09:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

30 - Getting the Staff
They appeared in the cannon hold, where they had found the Assassin, and cast some defensive spells around the weaker walls. They, using the same method John's team had used in R-Sop, they "Dug" holes in the wall, eventually coming out in another chamber belonging to the Peacekeepers. After about half an hour of fighting off spirits, the Peacekeepers came back to their base. John went up to the leader, and said, in a panting voice, "We need the staff."

As if lighting had just struck, the leader (can't remember his name Dang!) jumped at the thought." Why do you need an item of such great power? " he said.

"This is for the world, whateveryournameis. You've seen it out there! You don't think we need to stop it?"

"You think the staff can stop it?"

"No, but we'll need it to find an object that can!"

"Well, usually we would go on such an important mission, but I think you might just be suitable. Ok. Have the Staff"

And then he handed over the staff, glowing. When John held it, his body was showered in an almost unnatural warmth. His arm felt numb with the power it held.

"Now just to find the big Guy himself." said Malfoy

"Hell." Said Prototype, "The most horrible and most unpleasant place ever to exist, and it is the place we mostly desire to go to "

31 - Hunters
The undead Hydraxites were now on the prowl. They wanted to find the Staff of Power. Karaza also remembered this artifact. One battle cruiser rose into the sky to look for it.

But the Hydraxites found it first.

John was holding the staff, when the flying Hydraxites swooped down. Prototype was shooting them rapidly, but it had no effect. Being undead and all.

Hydraxor held John by the neck.

"Give me the staff, puny human!"

But John used the staff's power and obliterated Hydraxor. Prototype, Malfoy and Assassin were being taken away as prisoners by the Hydraxites.

Arnie 20:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

32 - Well that screws me up...
John watched as his friends were dragged away. He held the tele-pebble in his hands and though, I need to go to the Hydraxite ship. And with the sound, he appeared in the ship.

He skulked around, walking through dark corridors and doorways. He came across the cells where they were being kept, although the Assassin wasn't there. He used the staff to progressively melt the deadlock seals. After they were out, A hydraxite walked into the chamber. With one shot of his gun, John's body fell on the floor.

"They killed Johnny!"

"Those idiots!"

33 - Death of a Hero
The undead Hydraxites had recovered their battle cruiser from the base of Mt. Titania. And one just shot John.

Hydraxor picked up the Staff. He stroked it. But then there was a boom! Some Karazahn scouts had broken in, and attacked. Karaza took the staff and ran out. But Hydraxor tripped him up, and caught the staff. But it was taken, by a Scorpozi. It flew away.

The undead at Lumbridge had gone elsewhere to attack. But the Scorpozi intend to finish Lumbridge.

The Scorpozis Prime picked up Lumbridge castle and started to crush it in one claw. Then, it just tossed the charred remains onto a GDG battle cruiser.

Some Scorpozi flew up to it, one with the Staff of Power. Prime took the staff, examined it and barked at the Scorpozi in its own foul tongue, telling them to give it to Angeror.

Five Scorpozi had the staff, and whirled around Angeror. He took the staff.

"This weapon threatens my whole existence, and possibly the Universe. It can be only destroyed by psychic shadow energy. Piece of cake."

Angeror fired psychic shadow bolts out of his fists, and they were about to hit the staff...

Arnie 15:28, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

33 - Conquest
Drauss and the Wise Old Man rolled out from under a fallen column. Drauss raised an E-pistol, and a ray of electricity blasted from the crystal-like compound on the nub of the gun's plump body. A demon turned, and narrowed it's eyes at the pair, but was fried by 100,000 volts. The huge beast dropped to the floor, provoking several other undead demons to turn and face the two.

"Now! The Diskazor! Fire!" called Drauss, and the Wise Old Man squeezed the trigger. Three shiny discs flew from the slot that served as the Diskazor's barrel, and they flew through the air. The demons were momentarily perplexed - momentarily, until one of the discs buried itself deep inside the demon's forehead. The undead creature slumped to the ground.

Meanwhile, other demons had arrived, to see what was going on. Drauss threw off several dozen blasts from his E-pistol, then screamed at the Wise Old Man to run. They skirted destroyed buildings and leaped over piles of rubble, emerging at the harbor. Most of the piers had been burnt and had collapsed, but a few still stood steady, and at the end of one a small yacht was moored.

"Come on!" ordered Drauss, practically pushing the Wise Old Man into the boat. The demons followed behind, lumbering up the pier. Drauss upped the pistols power setting from "Toasted" to "Cinders," or in other words, from 100,000 volts to 3 million.

"You think fireballs are cool? Watch this!" he snarled in a macho-tone, and pulled the trigger. A blinding beam of lightning jumped like a caged beast let free from the end of the E-pistol. Drauss kept on pulling, releasing more and more bolts. Then, he swung the pistol around, creating an arc of lightning. The demons didn't have a chance - half of them obliterated, and the other half were too scorched to do anything. As the Wise Old Man released the boat, Drauss jumped in. A few demons on the shore dared to follow. Drauss smiled and fired a six-second pulse into the water. Sparks flew from the crests of waves, and the demons, waist-deep in water were - well, from that day on Port Sarim never seemed to run out of charcoal.

"Get this boat moving!" called Drauss, pocketing the E-pistol and taking out his assault laser, scanning the sky, which was bleak and overcast.

The Prodigies were creeping through Lumbridge forest when they suddenly found themselves surrounded by an army of Karazahn.

"Surrender!" snarled one.

"What, to you? Some reptilian spacy nasty thingy?" asked Yargther.

"Yeah," nodded Creeth, "You may look nasty, but do you have... guts?" she asked, as she shot one of the Karazahn in it's chest with a Kinetic Rifle. The creature's internal organ drooped out of it's body.

"GRAARH!" one growled, "ATTACK!"

The Prodigies smiled inside their helmets, leveled their weapons, and fired.

34 - Go to Hell (quite literally!)
The demons weren't the source of the problem. In fact, their leader was. Kalgar, the demonic lieutenant of the Battle of Asgarnia was. Once he died, he took care of Hell when Angeror was away. Kalgar had more powerful abilities.

He quickly scanned the mind of Drauss, then sent him a vision of true events.

Drauss saw the Scorpozis Prime chucking Lumbridge castle onto the GDG fleet, destroying both the castle and a lot of the fleet. Then there was another, of the prodigies being surrounded by Karazahn. Kalgar then gave him another vision, that of an alternative timeline.

In this one, the prodigies are slaughtered, with the GDG completely exploded. Drauss was stunned for a few minutes. He couldn't be woken up by the Wise old man.

Kalgar planned on keeping his mind in these visions permanently.

35 - Regeneration
While all this was happening, the group had moved John's body off the the ship, and into a small section of peaceful woodland. John suddenly erupted in a blurring green glow. It looked as if his insides were exploding.

Prototype had seen things like this before. But something was wrong. Usually, the regenerator had a peaceful look on his face. But John, who now seemed very much alive, was struggling. Then, for no apparent reason, The glow disappeared from his head. He had kept his old face.

When it had finished, John stood up. A strange green energy emitted from his eyes. Then, in a ghostly voice, he said "That staff shall not be yours." The staff appeared in his hands. Combining the new energy he had, and that in the staff, he not only reversed time for everyone but the team, but, in a strange accident, banished death into the furthest reaches of the void. The book appeared in his hands, and the glow disappeared. He was about to ope the book, when...

Every spirit in the world was teleported to him. They surrounded him, and banished every familiar he summoned.

''To be continued... and, erm, isn't summoning out today?"''

36 - Raxy's Rejects
All spirits were summoned by the Reaper to attack him, while he tries to make an escape. But the spirits had frozen. John was surprised. He saw nearly every species in the universe here. There was even a Dalek in the crowd.

But the spirits went back to their posts, and disappeared. The undead Cyber squad were still here.

"You have cheated Death. You have regenerated. You can become Death. The Reaper is sealed in the Void, and will decay. You will become the new Grim Reaper. That is the reason why every soul has come to your presence. You have been chosen to be the new Reaper."

And at that, the Cyber-Lord bowed to him. As did his squad. John looked around, and saw some more souls were coming to bow. He saw Malfoy nodding at him, and even Mutra Achilos was there, silently clapping.

But a hovering platform floated before him, and Cyranus Fel Fotch was on it. So was a grey Slitheen, a baby Slitheen and an extremely scarred Slitheen.

"I shall never bow down to a puny human like you! Even if you are the new Reaper! You cannot harm me! This planet will be destroyed!"

And at that, the souls disappeared again, this time to finish off their attacking.

"You have no power over the souls. As the Reaper, you may only escort them to the Void and have contact with them. Thats it."

But something strange happened. A flash of light appeared and struck the Slitheen quartet. The essences of the Unknown had entered their brains, influencing them.

"And from now forth, we are the Raxy's Rejects!" he shouted.

The platform had turned into a stage. The grey Slitheen, called Gratus "Gray" Gogg Derk Banda-Day Slitheen, had an electric guitar. The baby, named Mini "B" was on drums, the scarred one Scarrilitus "Scab", second vocals and Cyranus lead vocals.

The souls flocked here. So did living survivors and even the invading aliens.

They started to sing Lying from You. After it had finished, all the souls disappeared. Even the band (even though they are possessed, they still have free will and will continue their criminal activities) went away.

Angeror appeared.

He created a screen, which showed the Scorpozi, Arbiters, Karazahn, Souls and even the Creed of Assassins destroying everything. In fact, this is a clip of the past few minutes.

"You are the only survivors left. But do not reverse time, for it will create a paradox, making those Reapers appear and eating everything. And no, you cannot stop a paradox. You may bring the survivors back to life, but then you will lose all power you have, the staff, the initiation of being a Reaper, and your regenerations. In fact, you will become human if you bring anything to life. Think about what I said. 'Cuz if ya don't, you doom the Universe. Everything I say is true. I would know, 'cuz it was me. I bugged your powers. You will lose everything just for these people."

He disappeared. John had scanned for the truth in Angeror's eyes. It was no fib.

37 - Prodigious achievements
FFZZZT!

DU-DU-DU-DU-DU-DU-DU-DU

DDZZZSTTT!

Doarle ripped a grenade from his waistpack, armed it, then threw it at a Karazahn. The Karazahn was knocked over by the force of the grenade, which bounced off, and exploded in mid-air, right next to a Karazahn's head. The explosion ripped the head from the creature's neck, and the headless body fell on the floor. Lying there, it twitched. Doarle knew that it would stop in a moment.

But it kept on twitching.

Then writhing.

Then, in a bizarre, unnatural way, the beheaded body stood up, and rushed Doarle. Doarle raised his arm-cannon, and fired, ripping the body to shreds. The tiny parts stopped moving, amidst pools of yellow blood.

"Did you see that?" he asked La'ab over the intercom.

"What?"

"That - thing - coming back to life!"

"You're not the only one - look!"

Dismembered arms were crawling around, propelled by scuttling fingers. Legs connected to shattered pelvises walked aimlessly around.

"We can't kill 'em!"

38 - Releving himself of power
John looked down at the staff. He saw it's glowing energy, which he could never harness. He looked at the screen, then at the staff, and then at his own face, in a conveniently placed river. In his reflection, his eyes were still glowing. He turned, and said to Angeror, "Even if it destroys the universe itself, if it destroys me, it must be done." then, he closed his eyes, and erupted in the same green energy. Using this power along with the staff's and the book's, he held the staff over his head and said, "Tiempo Raevaco Merisio Erutus!" All the energy from the three powerful objects flew off into the sky, and john collapsed on the floor. The area around all the characters was surrounded by a powerful time-chamber.

Time was, even though Angeror used his sheer will to combat it, reversed to the point before the spirits escaped. The energy then sealed any gaps in the void. Malfoy also collapsed, as his body could no longer maintain a link with hell. The energy discharge caused prototype's body to go into overload, and shutdown. The assassin, using the book, then vanquished all of the undead, like the Slitheen, and Angeror, into a separate dimension, known as "the milky way". Reapers came down and tried to break through the shield to relieve the paradox, but they were eradicated as soon as they did.

When all on RuneScape was fine again, The assassin dragged the bodies of his comrades under a cozy oak tree. He then dug their graves, using a shovel, and placed two different tombstones. For Albus's body, a Draco tombstone. And for john, The Angel of Death. He then picked up Prototype's body and walked away.

And then he absorbed the power of the shield, erasing it, and walked off, again alone in the world.

The red chandeliers were lit once more.

39 - Primeval
All the spirits were back in the Void, even the Slitheen (they committed suicide - the Milky Way wasn't to their taste).

Gielinor was being rebuilt fast, because Angeror had counteracted the time reversal so everyone would remember this invasion.

Angeror could never be sealed away for good. He escaped, and was floating above Gielinor.

"The final curse...."

Angeror pointed at the planet, and a huge wave of energy struck it. No one was affected, but it caused a slight tremor.

"With the staff gone, this one can only be reversed by me...."

Angeror teleported. There was more trouble to come for Gielinor in the next few years...

Epilogue
All souls back in the Void. The Slitheen couldn't perform there, so returned to the routine of bullying other souls. The Cyber-squad are trying to fight them.

The Creed of Assassins had launched an assault on Varrock, stealing the Eye of Angeror. They didn't know what it was, but they kept it safe.

The Zantrozian Arbiters, Karazahn and Scorpozi made an alliance, being forced to leave because of John. They swear to come back and turn the planet into radioactive sludge.

The Kirops had no part really, but came to the land and stole Ardougne palace in their thousands, carrying it to The Tridax.

The Prodigies managed to obliterate the Karazahn and eventually returned back to their base after several days.

Drauss and the Wise Old Man returned to the GDG. Drauss had fallen into a coma since Kalzar's mental attack, but after several weeks in the GDG's hospital was up and walking again. A month of therapy allowed him to return to his original position at the head of the GDG.

The GDG recalled it's forces and returned to carrying out its original tasks and patrols.

The civilians of Gielinor, who had so nearly been slaughtered after the loss of the sanctuary bases, left the Crate Archipelago and returned to help rebuild their homes.

The Assassin revealed himself to the public, and told the world of John's bravery. He had to go into hiding again after being slammed in prison. He emptied his base under the palace and joined the Dracomancers, although he never took training. He would return some day.

Angeror's "curse" can be seen throughout Time Fractures, and it's after effects cause problems in RuneScape - Revenge of the Alone Ones.
