Hi, everyone! I've been given the go-ahead to post some content from Foo Story 3. Please keep in mind as you read this that it's a work-in-progress. The book will not be censored for content, and the book version of each chapter will be a bit longer and more detailed. In any case, here is the online version of chapter 1.


Chapter 1: The Sacrifice

Fooruman laughed as he closed his spell book. “This is going to work – I’m actually going to win.”

He walked once again to his conference room, where he was scheduled to meet Black Ninja to discuss his plan. He knew his faithful servant would happily make the sacrifice needed to complete the spell – it would be a small price to pay to help his master achieve immortality.

Fooruman opened the door and sat down to face Black Ninja, who was already seated. “I’m sure you’re aware that the end is nigh; the time has almost come. Now, it’s time for me to discuss my next spell with you. It will allow me to achieve immortality, and you with me. We will forever be connected; all my strength will be yours, and vice-versa. In order for the spell to work, all I need from you is a few drops of your blood.”

Black Ninja didn’t even think before speaking. “Of course, my master. Consider it done.”

“Excellent. Once we are immortal, there will be nothing in the entire universe that can stop us.”

“Are you worried about the remaining rebels?”

Fooruman laughed. “Their efforts will obviously be futile – they have no way of fighting an immortal wizard.”

“Sorry, master. I shouldn’t have questioned you.”

“Indeed. In any case, the spell must be cast tomorrow at midnight. Your mission until that time is to see to it personally that nothing comes between me and unlimited power. Understood?”

“Of course, sir.”

“Good – just one more thing. You and I are going to rule this universe, Black Ninja. I hope you realize what that means; you and I will be unstoppable. It is absolutely imperative that nothing stop us from achieving immortality. Without it, we’re just a couple guys.”

“Understood. I will annihilate anything that attempts to stop us.”

“Excellent. You’re dismissed, soldier.”

“Sir.” Black Ninja saluted and walked out of the room. Fooruman watched him leave and chuckled to himself.

**********

Violet gasped as he watched Fooruman and Black Ninja’s conversation. They clearly hadn’t located the camera yet, which meant that the rebellion had a small advantage – at least for the time being. Violet instantly smashed the panic button, which would alert everyone to meet in the conference room immediately.

Spotty instantly burst through the doors, followed by Coppertop and Faw. They sat down around the conference table and waited for orders.

Violet didn’t bother to sit down. “As you are all aware, Fooruman is gaining power day by day. Our infiltration of his fortress seems to have been a success – he doesn’t know about the spy camera yet. This means, for the time being, we have a small advantage. We know his plan now – he and Black Ninja are going to cast a spell to become completely immortal.”

Everyone in the room remained silent and stared downward, completely dismayed. Violet continued. “We don’t know much about the spell he plans to cast, but we do know that he needs Black Ninja to do it. Obviously we have no chance of hurting Fooruman – that means Black Ninja is our weakest link. It’s not much of a plan, but if we can take out Black Ninja we might be able to slow down Fooruman’s gain of power.”

“How do you propose we bring him down?” Coppertop asked, almost sarcastically.

“We’ll go in groups of two. Coppertop, you’re with me. Spotty and Faw, you’re group two. Coppertop and I will be going after Black Ninja himself – Spotty, Faw, your mission is to locate where the clones are stored and eliminate them.”

Spotty and Faw looked at each other and simply nodded. Violet paused for a while, then continued. “Is everyone clear on the plan?” He looked around the room; no one even moved. “Very well, let’s get ready to go.”

They all walked in silence towards the limited armory. Everyone was allowed two projectile weapons of their choice, along with one sword for close-range situations. After they had all suited up and grabbed their weaponry, Violet decided to say a few more things.

“Everyone, I have to say a couple things before we go attempt to do this. First, it’s absolutely vital that you all remember this: Black Ninja cannot be trusted. We are all aware of his past – yeah, he used to be on our side. Those days are gone. There is no ounce of humanity left in him. Even if there was at one point, all we’re dealing with here is a clone. He’s powerful, but he’s not unstoppable. Second, I need to caution you all that there’s no guarantee you’ll come back from this mission. This could well be the mission that ends the war, one way or the other. As you all know, we’ve set up some complex machinery to take care of the subjects for Operation: Repopulation, but there’s not really any guarantee that Fooruman won’t destroy our base camp if he takes us down. As much as I hate to say this, the weight of the world is on our shoulders. I hope you’re up for the challenge. That said, let’s get going!”
