Uberia: Chapter XI Deadly Encounters
The solid white smoke poured out from the chaos and made its way through the valley like a worm digging through the soft soil below. The heroes had made it to low ground, where the smoke was not as unbearable.
"What are we going to do?" Razor said as he started to pace back and forth. "This is too much, first Ubersite, then Hotmail, now we have a malicious virus unleashed in Uberia and the leader of its people has now contracted it". He was breaking down; the pressure from the current events was wearing them all pretty thin.
"Maddox will find a cure" Lisa interjected, "He always has before"
"Only after it's too late, we need a solution now" added Hairsphincter
"What of the healer, LaNa? Could she cure him?" asked Bob
After a brief pause, the idea didn't seem so rational; they were only a few days travel behind them.
The king sat on the ground and closed his eyes. He attempted again to contact Loki. As he sat there, the others argued over what they should do and how they should do it. They were all in a state of panic. Their King was the founder of Uberia, if his life is ended, they fear Uberia may end as well. He has a definitive connection to the lands of Uberia, if he were to suffer; the lands may face the same fate. Many times the King has fallen ill with a common cold and lands reflected it with a dry spell, or a series of thunderstorms. A virus would yield catastrophic results.
"I think we should find horses, this will make travel for our King much easier in his state", said Razor, "We are only about one hour's travel from Boredatwork, there we can find horses." The warriors seemed to agree on the notion of spending a few hours to purchase some horses; it would speed up travel immensely.
"Alright everyone, settle down," The King said in a solemn tone, "Loki is ok, she is with LaNa and the others, and she is on the way to find Maddox" He turned towards Razor, "We need supplies, and procuring some horses would be an excellent idea, we are about one day behind Loki, and we need to catch up to her party. Razor, take the Knights to Boredatwork, collect some food rations, necessities, and seven horses"
He then turned towards the General. "General Tak, I want you to take your Paladins to Microsoft's capitol city."
"I don't understand Milord, why would we go there?"
"I want you to go there and explain to their leaders that Hotmail has been sacked by McBain's army, and is now destroyed. Go there and tell them of McBain, and his plans to eventually take over Uberia, then his conquests for Cyber. Microsoft is the largest country in Cyber, if we could convince them to help, we would have an unlimited army on our side, and end this war quickly"
"Or the Lord of Microsoft will not believe us and kill us all" Tak interjected
Lord Bart's expression turned grim, "You are appointed representatives because of your skills of negotiation, I need your talent now more than ever, please do not fail me."
"Jonukah, I want you to stay with me, we will catch up with Loki and her group. Knights, you can easily catch up to us when you return."
The large group of men and women clasped their hands to their chest, signaling the oath they originally took to server their King. They said their individual goodbyes, and began to drift into their respective groups.
"Aye Milord, we shall return swiftly, Uberspeed Lord Bart"
"Uberspeed brave soldiers" He said in a commanding voice, as he watched the most elite of his remaining army march away towards their missions.
"Jonukah, let's move, we have to catch up with Loki and the others," he glanced down at his open sores caused from the virus, they were not getting bigger or spreading, which seemed promising that he would not die today. The last of the Paladins disappeared into the smoke in the valley. After Jonukah collected their things, they moved out to the east towards their companions. The grounds, along with the two heroes were covered in dust and soot as they walked along the river. Chattering animals from near and afar could be heard from the valley as they let the world know what they thought of the noise and smoke.
"Lord Bart, have you heard from Loren1?" Jonukah said, trying to avoid the subject of the recent events.
"No I haven't, another reason why I am sending the Paladins to Microsoft, hopefully they can bring good news when they return"
"What do we do if Microsoft is involved with Mcbain's sick plan, I mean how could McBain's familiars have occupied Hotmail so quickly?"
Bart did not have time to answer as he was slammed to the ground from behind. Jonukah didn't even have time to turn around before he too was knocked to the ground. Jonukah tried to hold his hands up to his face but could not keep whatever it was off of him, scratching and slashing at his face and his arms. Finally, the flurry stopped, as Jonukah sat in sheer pain from where he had just been minced. He quickly realized that his pain had stopped because the creature was focused now on Bart. As Jonukah wiped the blood from his eyes, he recognized the attacker, it was Christpunch. Lord Bart was subjected to a series of punches to the face. The beast moved with unprecedented fury, unleashed a quickness that could not be matched. Lord Bart could not protect himself from Christpunch's onslaught of slicing claws and bites. Christpunch took a quick glance over at Jonukah who was now coming for him, and snatched up his prey with blinding speed. He dug his claws into the King's shoulder for a better grip, and began to drag him away from Jonukah. Lord Bart cried out in pain, drug across the ground helplessly as Christpunch tried to get away. Even with the prey in his grip, he moved at full speed, with no regards to his victim's comfort. Jonukah tried to catch up, but he was badly wounded and knew what he had to do. His eyes stung as blood trickled into his vision; he tried to block it all out as he focused. Both hands were stemming a light green color. A mediocre post was the best he could draw considering the circumstances, but it had to work. One, then two posts were launched directly at the beast that was now a good distance between them. The first missed and crashed ahead of the assailant, but the second one hit the beast in the leg. Christpunch snarled in fury as he saw that one of his legs frayed and badly damaged, but he still pushed on. Jonukah attempted to put one foot in front of the other to go after them but the loss of blood weakened him severely, it was all he could do to keep standing. The world moved in circles around him, and the horror of his liege moving further and further away from him added to his vertigo. He lost consciousness, and fell over, crashing to the ground.
Christpunch pushed on, not quite as fast now that his leg was badly wounded from Jonukah's post. He moved down the valley, dragging his prey behind him. Soon, he though, he will feast. The very thought of finally relishing in victory kept him going. He moved out of the clearing into heavy brush, which soon turned to a wooded area. The King was lifeless behind him, as his head crashed into all the ground debris as Christpunch passed over it.
Finally, he pulled his food off towards the tall craggy valley wall to enjoy his dinner. "Baaarrrt Diiieeeeeee" he said with a crackling growl. Bart did not respond. Jonukah was incapacitated, and his friends were far from their King's side. The King had no protection, and he was in the hands of Christpunch. He grabbed the face of Bart with his left hand, digging his claws into his scalp and cheeks. His right hand rose up towards his face, fingertips and claws pointed like a blade at the helpless body's exposed throat.
The squawks, chirps, grunts, and other animal noises yielded to the sound of a single strike.
The killing strike...
To be continued...

LaNa - Stealing "scrumptulescent", eh? Bah, Damn you harlot! I will inform Mac of this atrocity. You will rue the day! Why? Because everyone has to rue the day at some point. Moses said so.

yea... what everyone else said.
I am a fan of "scrumptulescent" so that's the word I'll choose to steal and describe this chapter.
Keep up the good work kidd-o!

This story continues to be "Kicker of all ass".
I'd enjoy it even more if people quit being self-centered and pestering you to put them in the story.
Granted that Mac is already in the story, at least he's been offering characters to be put in that would be fun to kill. This from a guy that wrote the book on how to be a selfish prick. The irony.
Rock on, LOTP.
This story is scrumptulescent.

LUFly mate, I'm still very impressed, and now your asse is in a sling, cos I'm getting into the story so don't you DARE get hit by a car or something. Stay inside, nice and warm and get someone to bring you food. Don't move from the keybaord - most accidents happen in the home. Piss in a bottle if you have to.
I'll have to think up some uber-posts to rank a mentioning, but there's something to be said for new blood!
