Mwaha! So...the plot thickens, but is Kovu, erm, I mean am I alright? You won't find out

soon, but you will find out what's been going

on since the last volume of history, find out

in Chapter 5: Backstory, Part 1.

Laters.





Thanks, all...well chapter 5 isn't finished

yet, but I guess you all must be tired of

waiting. I had two titles but I couldn't decide which I liked better,

so vote and whichever wins will be for the record books. Oh, and the content of the next

chapter may be...disturbing, to some, especially late at night(I know I sure was spooked

when I wrote it ) Nothing to violent or the like, it just involves the afterlife, ghosts,

and demons, amonst other ghastly things. Heed my warning...

Chapter 5: Backstory (I Can't Feel Him)



"Kovu...do you know where you are?" A cold voice said. The aforementioned's eyes

were washed out, but eventually focoused. The room was deathly white...uttlerly white,

with no flaws.

"I said, do you know where you are?" Dispite the fact that he had no idea who this was,

he felt no need to lie to them

"I...I don't know."

"What would you say if I told you that you where dead?" The voice said. Kovu now realised

he was strung out on a rack. Turning to the voice, he saw a figure in a cloak. His face was

disturbing, as it wasn't. Where it's face should've been was a skull. But, like a mask on the

left side of his face, was a mask of Aldan's.

"Whats going on?"

"I told you you're dead."

"Who are you?"

"Don't you recognize me? I'm Aldan."

"Y-you're dead, too?"

"Since when have you accepted that you're dead?"

"I just want to know what's going on here!"

"Welcome to Heaven." Aldan...Aldan's corpse gestured to the wide...white area.

"Not what you expected, hm?" Kovu nodded 'no.' In an instant, the white room transformed

into a tottally dark dungeon, horrible cries could be heard in the background and ethereal

shadows slunked around.

"Does this suit you better." No...filled him with dread. Just then, a burgandy colored

figure swooped in, scythe in tow and slashed at Kovu's throat, time grinding to a errie

hault at the last possible moment. He could feel the icy chill of the corpse's figures on

the back of his head. Colder than death...no, just cold enough...just cold enough.

The corpse spoke into his ear.

"Both Heaven and **** are on Carrotous, you just have to look for them...don't you remember?"

A image of carnage flashed before Kovu for a mere moment, but he sternly replied.

"What?"

"You're insolent, you know that." The corpse turned to look into Kovu's eyes, something he

wished it hadn't.

"Heaven's to good for you, Kovu, you've killed far too many, but **** is to bad for you, you've

saved to far too many. Carrotous is just bad enough I think." Kovu disliked the cold, he hated

it. But he hated this more. Out of sheer dread, hate, terror, disgust, all thease things and more, Kovu said.

"How did I die?" Kovu shook with rage.

"Does 'needle' ring a bell?" The image of a needle sinking into his flesh.

"What was it?" Kovu felt as though he was getting drunk, loosing perception. The corpse

breathed, onto Kovu's eyes, so that they stung.

"Air...you're dead like me...like Xeno, like Kazooie, like Ducky, like Dazz, like Defalcon,"

"Stop it, stop it, STOP IT!"

"like Blaksheep, like...Simba,"

"BE QUIET!"

"like...Kiara..."

"I SAID BE QUIET!"

"Like..." He said the last word to the utmost slowness,"...Kat..."

"SHUT UP!!!" He smacked the demonic thing across the face, trying to dispell his odium.

"Welcome back to the land of the living." It smiled.

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



"Aldan had invented a portal to the Other World...the future, the land of humans." Ducky

began.

"That's when it all began...a being named Teross came from the Other World, where the Rabbits

where still weak as a race."

"Harnessing the advance bio and nano technology from our worlds, he created a army of

twisted monsters to do his bidding and eventually lay control to all who inhabited the Other

World by focousing his emmense psyhic power. Tyio and I left for the Other World, but we,"

Ducky was interuppted by Calie.

"Uh, excuse me but...who's Aldan, and who's Tyio?"

"I must admit I have wondered." Blacksheep said.

"You mean you don't know?"

"Nope." Calie returned.

"Y'know, that purple rabbit who lead New Ontranaught...?" Kazooie asked.

"..."

"Who killed Zygot?"

"Ziggie-who?"

"Defeated the humans!?"

"Oh yeah! Him! But who's Ziggeot? Is that anything like a 'idiot'?" It finally rung a bell to Blacksheep.

"Uh...no...he was the dude who caused all those earthquakes and stuff about twenty years ago,

and who sicced all those humans on us?"

"Ohhh! Yeah...well don't blame me, I've been on Medivo."

"What about Tyio?" Calie asked. Suddenly Ducky jumped up zealously.

"Oh, he's the greatest guy ever! He -under



quickly

found ourselves no match for the Legion, that's what Teross called his dark army. Teross said

it would take five years to figure out how to create a nexus back to our world. In that time

we searched for a rabbit with psyhic power that rivaled Teross' a lowly Diamondian named

Kallis. We trained him and had secured a nexus back to our world, so we could prepare for

Teross' arrival there. We got separated when the Legion ambushed us on the way to the nexus."

Ducky's eyes began to well up.

"I made it through, and I know Kallis did but...I..." She broke out in a sob,

"I can't sense Tyio's lifeforce anymore..."

Grath stood up.

"Don't worry Ducky, I'm sure he's alright...but what you see in a demo-" Kazooie made the 'chopping off head' sign.

"Uh...what was I saying?" A moment later, a volley of blaster fire could be heard.

Then, with a 'wsssh' the door fell open.

"Anyone here in need of rescuing?"

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

Spooky....just spooky. And Creepy....

and spooky...



mwahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHH HAAA HAAA HAAAAAAA!!!!!

Uh...sorry.

Chapter 6: Teross' Lies



A beige colored rabbit brandishing a purple energy sword stood in the doorway.

"C'mon!" She shouted over her shoulder into the battle that raged outside.

"Hold on! I'm on a roll!" The beige rabbit turned back to them.

"What are you doing just standing there?" The five rabbits quickly replied and arrived in the hallway just in time to see a brown rabbit chop off a sick, tan colored monster's

head. Then he flipped around and destroyed

a series of robots. That's when they realised

they where in a hallway lined with cells with

a ceiling atleast twenty feet high.

"Lil' help here?" The brown rabbit asked in

a unmistakable voice.

"Kove!But I thought you were-"

"Don't start that again, just help me with thease things!" He returned as he fired through a robots back.

"Kazooie..." The Tanpopo threw Kazooie his sword.

"Blacksheep..." She hurled her the Jello Blaster.

"Calie..." The latter was tossed her sword.

"Ducky..." Was given her staff.

"Grath..." Got his sword back.

"And me..." Tanpopo redrew her energy sword.

Ducky started off the attack by launching a torrent of electricity at a number of the

assualting robots, many loosing limbs.

The one in the center, however, gave a unholy squeal as it's atoms contracted and it polymorphed into toast. Kazooie jumped up in the air and with a sonic boom destroyed several bots. Calie and Grath jumped into the fray at the same time, together X slicing a oncoming bot. Blacksheep drew here Jello Blaster and fired burning balls of rasberry at several robots, there limbs melting.

"Ha! Just like burning armymen, mwaha!" Blacksheep laughed with uncarachteristic malice. Tanpopo used her force power to

knock two of the robots together.

Amid the bodies of his comerades, stood one,

scared robot. After shaking for a few moments, he ran, only to be taken down by

Kovu's blaster a few seconds later.

"Yeah!" Grath said excitedly.

"We did it!" Calie cheered.

"Yeah, yeah, Kovu! What happened! First Dazz comes to save you, then you scream and

all, and now you're here! What's up!?" Kazooie asked. The image of Aldan's corpse flashed across Kovu's mind for a mere instant, but then he said,

"'Dazz' was actually one of Teross' robots. Right now we are in loose Carrotous orbit. This is Teross' ship."

"So what's the plan?" Ducky asked.

"We head back to Carrotous, find Aldan," The image appeared again for a split instant,"we'll explain about you guys and hopefully, he has located or captured Kallis."

"No..." Ducky said.

"Eh?"

"No...he shouldn't have, why does he want to capture Kallis?"

"Because he was the one who gave Teross the nanotechnology..."

"Teross' lies are rooted deeper than I thought, Kallis is actually a psyhic of a

magnitude rivalling Teross. Somehow one of

his agents must have tricked Aldan to do

his dirty work. Kallis is the only thing standing between him, and the Katalym."

Kovu contemplated for a moment.

"Kove, after all this time, do you think I would lie to you?"

"Lies...so many lies, It's not a question of you, but a question of you're information." Kovu paused, then continued,

"We have to get to Carrotous anyway, we'll worry about this later." They took off running torwards the flight deck, and met with no enemies. Finally they arrived at the black colored flight deck.

"That was almost to easy, you suppose this is a trap?"

"If it's a trap, I don't see we have much an option of not falling into it..."



LOL! You all were so entertaining trying to

get me to continue, that I couldn't help

but not interuppt! Ahem, okie, enough tourture, here comes chapter 6!(I think chapter 6)

Chapter 6: Sky Over Diamondus



"You most certaintly are." A white colored rabbit in a red robe stood at the top of a platform several yards away from our heros. With a Cahinck! several of the space-ships there transformed into a array of robots, and several of those

odd monsters succuried into the room.

"Can I call 'em or what?" Kovu asked. Soon the others prepared there weapons.

"No need for that, you have a exit craft right there," Teross pointed to a unguarded vessel, hatch open.

"No need for senseless violence." At the moment, seeing no alternative, they cautiously entered the ship.

"Oh, and one more thing..." Kovu was whisked away by Teross' psychic field.

"What the?" Kazooie reached out to grab him, but to no avail. Teross snatched Kovu by the hair and held a sword to his throat.

"Hey, watch the hair!"

"Silence! Now, get into that shuttle and get off my ship, there is a planet below."

They were hesistant.

"Do it! Or he dies!" Teross pressed the sword. This time, they complied, and the ship iddylically floated out of the dock.

---------

"Welcome back, Dazz." The halfling entered a poorly lit room.

"Thanks, Aldan."

"I trust you're battle on Medivo was fruitful?"

"We rallies fivehtousand Medivans to our side, and the blessings of Lord Vermies."

"Vermies is a fool, and we will destroy him, in the end." Aldan turned to Dazz.

"Any signs of Kallis."

"No, sir, but, uhm, you have someone to, uhm... see you, sir..."

"Who?"

"*mumble**mumble*mumble*"

"What?"

"Chancellor Iaks of New Ontranaught..."

"WHAT! TAKE ME TO HIM, IMMEDIATLEY!"

-----------

"Ah, Lord Aldan, a pleasure." Iaks, who had been sitting in a bluish chair just outside Aldan's office, rose.

"Cut the formalities, Iaks, tell me why you are here or get OFF my planet!" Aldan drew his sword.

"Calm down, Aldan, as you know a war between New Ontranaught and your, what is the word?"

"Garrison." Aldan said with venom.

"Ah, yes, Garrison, is inevetiable. Thousands will die, but I propose to you now a duel, the loser either dies or is exiled,

and he turns his army, or his next in command, his army over to the victory.

No or very little letting of blood is needed to settle this. Do you accept?"

Aldan smiled,

"I accept."

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

"So...were stuck on Diamondus...the Dark side of diamondus..." Ducky said sadly.

"Uh...don't you live of Diamondus, Ducky?" Blacksheep asked.

"True, but not on the Dark side."

"Uh...what's the 'Dark' side? It looks bright enough to me."

"The Dark side is a sparsly populated continent, there are no cities, no electricity unless you

channel it youreself, and the ferry, being wind based, takes months to reach the nearest

land mass."

"Teross trapped us here effectively enough, he only packed the ship with enough fuel to

get here and a EMP shockwave to fry the circuitry." Grath said.

"What about Kaz?" Calie asked. Kazooie quickly ducked behind a nearby boulder.

"You can't make me fly you if you can't catch me!"

"Don't worry Kaz, the sea is too great for you to carry all of us across..." Ducky thought.

"This is great..." Grath hopped on the ship-engine-turned-hunk-of-metal,"were stuck on

a island, Teross is about to conquer the world, and Kovu has been carried off to who

knows where!" They stood there for about twenty minutes, until Tanpopo spoke up.

"Wa-waait, Ducky, isn't Birdland on this island?"

"Well yeah...yeah it is...a whole lot of birds..."

"MWAHAHAHAHA!"

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

Aldan clasped the his leather hilted sword.

He had changed into a peculair white vest while Iaks was clothed with a traditional

New Ontranaught black suit.

"Good luck." Iaks said as there two swords touched tip to tip, a sign of honor.

Without so much as a grunt in reply, Aldan slashed down as Iaks' knee, but the latter

blocked. Iaks then thrust inward, but Aldan

slipped to the side, then slashed across to

Iaks' head, the latter again blocking.

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

The tiny town of Otomayim. The old groundskeeper sweeping the steps of the rebuilt Fen's Inn.

The manager of the book store quietly counting sums. The wicken, contently sorting potions. A happy place, a happy time, of peace. Well...for a while.

At a precarious cliff stood a lone figure, who was soon joined by a second.

"What have you got for me?"

"Something good Kallis, paperwork is already done, you're name Ala'Ken Juno, age 23, a scupltor."

"Good..." The first figure turned to leave.

"I just can't get who a nice guy like you

would be running from."

"I"m running from the world, I'm running from the world."

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

Iaks sword sliced Aldan's in half, with a body slam, he knocked Aldan to the ground

and place his sword near Aldan's throat.

"Duel over." Iaks extended his hand to help

Aldan up. Aldan, in turn, snatched it and

hurled Iaks over him, causing him to land on

a falcon shaped narrow balcony like thing.

The sword splashed into a wade pool twenty

meters below.

"You cheated...and I was a fool..." A green sword materialized in Aldan's hand.

"Yep." Only part of Iaks fell to the bottom.

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

...duh duh daaa



Oh, soooo close, but no Carrot.

Fear not, it will be revieled soon enough...

Okay...so a good percent of the chapter is

nonsensical and comedic, with little plot

value, as if it's MY fault that I wrote it

that way
