Uberia: Chapter VII The Merciless Siren
Big Mike's face scraped against the hard rock bottom of the sewer as he lay underwater and without air. He was unable to move, with at least three men pinning him to the ground. He was in a state of panic, and he could not concentrate. "Focus", he said to himself, "Relax, think of a way out". His muscles went from tense to a state of relaxation. The attackers, thinking they had succeeded in killing him, relaxed their grip and began to ease off of him. With all of his might, he pushed up out of the water, backing two into the wall. He managed to grasp his hands around the other attacker's throat. Confusion set in, all he could see were black shadows moving around. There were more than three. Pain rushed through his side as he felt a sharp object penetrate his skin and tissue. He let out a groan and let go of the attacker in front of him. A wire slipped around his neck, tensing up to block him from breathing. He felt a shocking blow to his face, it nearly knocked him unconscious. "Get up!" He couldn't even tell where the attacks were coming from; other lacerations were coming from all directions. The pain was almost too much to bear, but he fought on, catching the choker with an elbow. "Get up!" His movements seemed to be in slow motion, the pain was holding him back. He tried to call a post but could not concentrate. Another surprising stab from the back took the wind out of him, and as blood tricked from his mouth, he knew it was a deadly and final blow, he started to fade out. He dropped to his knees, and as he opened his eyes, he saw a spiked club coming at his face. It was too late.
"Get up!" Razor's eyes snapped open as he realized he was being shaken awake by one of his comrades. It was Lisa. The others were gone. He was covered in a thick slimy mixture of filth, as her hands slipped around his body trying to pull him up. "I saw Big Mike", said Razor, "I saw him die" Lisa looked disturbed by his vision, but regained focus quickly, "We are going to join him if they see us, Come on" She helped him up as they hunched over and ran to a nearby boulder, joining the others. They made it in just enough time to dodge their discovery by a small army of post-killers marching along. There were about fifty of them, way too many for the five of them to handle themselves. They hunched low so they would not be seen. The Post-Killers moved towards the trail that led to the castle Ubersite. After they moved out of sight, the warriors took a deep sigh of relief. "Razor I didn't' think you were going to get up"
"I saw the whole thing, how he died" Said Razor, holding his head low
"We can only keep faith that you were only having a nightmare, not a premonition" Added Jonukah, "And what is this...gunk...all over us, it's sticky, hard to get rid of, and it's like every time you wipe it clean, more grows on you eewwww get it off" He waived his arms as if trying to fling the substance off of him, flailing his arms around and running in circles, bringing a bit of comic relief in the middle of a serious situation.
"It's SPAM", said Lord Bart. "We landed in a large lake of Viagra and Penis Enlargement SPAM. It will take a bit to get rid of it all"
Lord Bart's attention moved towards the large structure from where the post-killers were coming from. "Hotmail", he said in a sad tone, "They are using hotmail to create familiars".
"How do we stop them?" Asked Jonukah, still flinging the last bit of attract any women today SPAM off of the back of his hand.
"Well what we landed in was a by-product of this machine; it churns out identities every day. See that?" He pointed over at one of the larger gears that protruded from the building, "That is the SPAM filter; it keeps hotmail running by eliminating all the waste that normally comes with creating a new identity. This place has been turned into an production line for post-killers. This is how McBain has become so powerful. This is what he is using to build his army.
"We have got to stop it" Said Lisa
"There is no way to stop it, it's too powerful" Said the King
"I Think I know a way" Lisa said with a mischievous grin, "I have an idea".
"Do you think they saw us?" whispered Hidden, as he hid behind a wall waiting in fear that they were spotted and at any moment an army of guards would come around the corner to attack.
"No, I told you they didn't, now come on, we'll use the element of surprise on them" Lisacat responded in a hushed tone. They were right at the exit of the sewers, walking and talking, when they realized the exit was guarded by two post-killers, who were focused more on intruders and not those trying to escape. She signaled for Hidden to move silently. Hidden and Lisacat made an excellent team because they were both excellent scouts and silent assassins, Lord Bart's finest when it came to secretive missions. They relished missions where they could branch out on their own, and they were pretty independent in situations such as these. It was Probably the main reason why Lord Bart sent them to take this mission. Hidden followed Lisacat's lead as they crept silently towards the two men outside of the tunnel. Lisacat looked back at LaNa, who was watching everything while at a safe distance. Lisacat moved behind the first guard, came up from behind and slit his throat. Before the second guard could even turn, a short blade came up from the back of his neck and through the front of his throat. "Oh for crying out loud Hidden do you have to be so nasty when you kill?" Hidden just chuckled, "He never knew what hit him". The guards dropped to the ground in silence. Lisacat waived for LaNa to come join them. They had made it outside to Uberia's outer realm. To the left, they could barely make out a tracing of the Hotmail Identity Machine. To their right, they saw the path that would eventually lead to the ocean. They were in a canyon, where a river ran directly through the center. "Now we wait" Said Hidden, as they sat to relax and meditate. Lisacat called the "O" face post that Jonukah had given her, it glowed with a warm light that made her feel comfortable, after she was pleased and saw enough, she put it away, closed her eyes, and went into a trance, awaiting their comrades to join them.
McBain, satisfied that Christpunch would perform well for him, moved towards the second cell. He peered in to be sure it was safe, then placed his hands on a square block protruding from the wall and pushed the block inwards. The gate churned and eventually opened to reveal a young lady, she too, was in ragged clothing, but the peculiar fact about her was that her buttocks were showing.
"The beautiful Ms. Kristy Swan" he announced, as he turned her around to reveal her mouth was gagged and chain locked shut by a metal plate. She looked at him with sad eyes, as if calling out without words for immediate release.
"Kristy if I release you, then you have to do me a favor, if you agree, shake your head"
She nodded
"You promise you will not talk if I take this horrible gag out of your mouth, don't you?"
She nodded once again
Kool Mang interjected, why can't she talk master?"
"She is a banshee, the very sound of her voice could burst your eardrums and kill you at this distance. Her words are poison, and you do not want her to talk"
"How can we trust her?" asked Koolmang
"Because we have something in common, don't we Kristy?"
She looked unsure, as if searching for the answer, and then she remembered, and shook her head up and down in an over-exaggerated fashion. As he pulled the plate, then the gag from her mouth, he put his hands in her hands and said "We both want Loki dead, don't we?"
She bowed her head, as if telling him she would exact her vengeance, for McBain, and for herself.
Kristy slowly moved towards the door and stopped, she turned towards McBain, smiled, then walked out of the chamber and up the stairs. She continued to walk up the stairs to the east tower. She made her way to the very top. She looked out to the east, towards the ocean, then took a deep breath and then toppled over the side. As she raced towards the ground and certain death, bony-like wings protruded from her back and corrected her motion from a dive into a swoop. She gained incredible speed as she flew out from the castle, and on to find Loki.
McBain was delighted, everything was still following his plan. "Koolmang, prepare the army for an attack"
"An attack on where milord?"
"Uberia itself, I want to wipe this pitiful place from the face of Cyber."
"Yes Milord"
McBain walked out of the chamber, turned further down the hall and whispered to himself, "Two are free, and one to go"
The beast howled in the midnight air. He sniffed around the trail that led to Hotmail. It was cold on Bart's scent, but he could pick up traces of his scent coming from that general direction. His lust for blood was growing into an insatiable desire, there was little time, and he had to feed. It had been too long he had been trapped by that pitiful worm Bart. He could hardly stand the fact that his time would be near; he would finally have Lord Bart to himself, to torture and punish. He was Christpunch, a beast with absolutely no fear.
To be continued...

So far the story keeps getting better. I like the thing about Kristy Swan having wings and beeing a banshee. That's great, but is Loki gonna be ok? Well is she? is she?

I didn't spot any inconsistencies. But I didn't go back to check, either.

Okay, you've set me into a panic - what inconsistancies???
It is getting pretty damn difficult now that I've sent different people all the hell over Uberia.. that's now become my biggest fear.. Big Mike blocked a blow aimed towards Bart, no wait, he's dead, or Razor dreamed he was dead, wait, no Where the hell is Loki? Is she still bruised and battered or did I have her cutting cartwheels the next day. Uberia is falling apart ha ha
No really, did I create a paradox in my little world of Uberia?

I'm PRETTY sure there are some character incosistencies... like they are alive and giving orders when they shouldn't be. But I could be wrong, I was never good at keeping characters straight. Good story, keep it up.
