World Jumpers...... the story
Fate

_______World Jumpers___Part 1___________________
The sun and wind hit my face at Bruce’s house as i i faced down Bruce ans Jeremy... i had my baby ready(favorite wooden sword) and my ninja bokken at my side.. Jeremy eased around to get behind me.. Bruce stepped forward and the BING!!! the was a powerful flash of light to the right of us(well.. my right) and a powerful gust of wind came with it.. out of this light ran a girl! see was strangely attired and looked panicked ..she was pursued by 3 strangely armored men who also came out the light.. she ran and stopped she took cover behind me.. Bruce Jeremy and i had no idea what was going on.. but we all deiced to help her with ever saying a word..
i dropped my baby and drew my bokken.. i ran at the nearest pursuer and leaped into the air smashing him in the neck part of his mask as i passed.. crack! my bokken snapped...but i had broken the mask and the warrior fell...
i ran back to my baby.. Bruce and Jeremy stood ready.. the strange girl still coward on the ground.. i turn to face the 2 remaining warriors. with out turning my head, i told Bruce and Jeremy to go inside and take the girl with them.. Bruce protested” I wanna fight !" he said.. then go inside and get your sword i roared .. reluctantly he turned and ran for the house with the girl.. now even in all the action i still noticed how Jeremy stared at this girl..I said"
Jeremy.. don't take your eyes that girl.. Jeremy smiled and return "NOOOO PROBLEM!!"
i just shuck my head,, I took and better look at these warrior. the looked more like commandos. or some special swat team.. the wore strange light weight armor. and some strange masks i can only describe as gas mask.. the had no gun i noticed.. so i continued to square off.. one of them approached me.. he took out a small metal rode.. which extended into a much longer one.. he ran at me.. i was surprised by his speed but didn't move.. he drew bask his rod.. and swung down ant me hard. ii hit the side of his weapon and pushed it down as i stepped to the side.. his rod smashed into the ground as the point of my baby plowed trough his mask.. the force of my blow send his head rearing back. and took the rest of his body with him and he fell to the ground.. almost as this one hit the ground Bruce dashed by me with his sword.. the other warrior drew out a much smaller rod that the last guy but his glowed.. Bruce slashed with his sword and hit this glowing rod.. but as he did he was shocked! if fact he was smoking a little as he fell down.. the warrior the looked up.. but it was too late.. i was already on him.. the glass covering his eyes shatter and he fell to the ground... a few minutes later Bruce awoke.. with and terrible hair dew.. Jeremy came out of he house .. and the girl was now dressed un some of Bruce’s sister's clothes..(looked even worse the the torn rags she came in)
i said.. Jeremy..? you let her change!?,, i told you not to take your eyes off her.. Jeremy smiled..."i didn't.." well.. i then asked her the obvious questions... Who she was, who those guys were..and why were they after her.. She then presented me with a strange mechanical object.. ".. What is this?"...............

Embark

_________World Jumpers___Part 2_____
"What is this?" the girl handed me a odd mechanical object.."this is what they are after."
she explained. ..It was a long story that followed.. but as we were now involved.. we had to listen.. This is the girls tale.."My name is
s
Seina, i am from a different world.. i'm not sure exactly why or how.. but my world is constantly being attacked by the strange warriors you just defeated..(as she said this i turned to look at and the 3 warriors we just beat.. but the were gone... i looked startled. by Seina quickly explained that the could not be killed.. and when they are defeated the simply vanish .. they return to there home world to recover and attack again..) These warriors appear out of nowhere..The people of my world are always fighting one another.. and others are plagued by monster and ghouls.. These masked warriors attack weaken villages and take prisoners back to there world as slaves... Its not just my world.. they do it to others as well.. i know all this because.. i was taken as a slave only a few months ago.. i was made to clean inside some kind of scientific production.. err.. thingie.. (needless to say i was amazed by her way with words...) i stole this device because it had something to do with the way they travel between worlds... However.. some how it is different from the others.. or else the would not be so intent on pursuing me..
..well i pushed one of the buttons as i was running from them. a door of light opened before me and i ran through..and it brought me here."
"I'd have never guessed" i said.. (she obviously didn't understand the pun..)
Jeremy and Bruce.. well Bruce looked confused..
Jeremy just stared at Seina.(perhaps taking his job to seriously) Bruce asked hesitantly. "So.. if they have the power to travel to different worlds like this.. why have they never come here?" " There no match" i said. What!? said Bruce and Jeremy on unison. "They are afraid to" i said the beside there weapons ant there mask.. the did not seem very advanced.. They probably once were very technologically advanced but something must have happened.. And only a few pieces of there technology survived..
Seina said. "you are right.. i heard them speak of a great war and there former glory..but how did you know.." Jeremy snapped out of his trance longer enough to mutter."This guy has seen and read every hooky adventure story ever made.. He knows what he is talking about.. As he was saying all this i had been examineing the device.. i was surprised at how simple the controls were.. i had a screen and button.. you simply typed in the quardinates of a world.. and this thing would take you there... however..Seina had stolen it too soon.. it had not been programmed.. only to worlds were listed in its memory.. Were it came from.. and were it was..But.. Seina didn't type in any destination.. she just pushed a button.. So that means.. This world was preset.. ! my train of though was interrupted my the others nagging. Seina wanted us to help her get home.. Bruce agreed…he wanted to fight.. and see the monsters she spook of.. and Jeremy.. at this point he'd have his foot amputated if it meant spending time with Seina.. i had little choice.. They warriors were sure to return.. . Desions..
What? i said.. "Desions.. they called themselves Desions' Senia explained.. Suddenly the device did some kind of auto scan for other device.. there were no to be found..This thing really was one of a kind.. But if it could track other device.. it mut be possible to track it even in another world.. I kept my thoughts to myself.. and i made up my mind.. we had to get Seina home and destroy this device...
Jeremy and i went back to our houses to gather our weapons and supplies.. we returned to Bruce’s and piled up the weapons.. we pick a few for each of use.. only ones we'd really need and could carry easily.. i took my Katana, my sword black ninja sword.. and my baby.. Bruce took his ninja sword and a hickory sword.. and Jeremy took My ninja sword and another sword i made out of a blade and a piece of pipe.(It is better than it sounds..) We were ready.. I pushed the button.. and suddenly we stood in a vast feild.. It did not look to me as a world were these Desions were from.. but that what this "scouter" as we now called it said it was..

Peril

.....World jumpers.... Part 3.....
As we stood in a vast field that reach for miles and miles.. The fact had not yet hit us that we stood in another world.."This scouter is amazeing!" Bruce shouted.."Look look",he grab all our pack and pushed a button. *whimph* they vanished.. "we can carry all kinds of stuff like this!" Bruce said giggleing. wow! i said. "Oh oh oh look at this map of this world that came up when we got here!" "wha..?" said, still shock over the storage thing.
We had no time for confusion as the sound of nearby footsteps quick seilenced us. Little green imp, about six in all came at us weilding spears from all sides. " Oh no! Goblins!" screamed Seina. The closest goblin leaped at Bruce, it came from above, holding its spear over its over its head .. it trust downwad. Bruce placed his had on his Sowrd that still lay in its sheath on his side. Bruced un sheathed his sword and struck diagonally upward at the last second and with impressive speed, cut through the Spear, goblin and all.. He sheathed his sword and stood there triumphantly.
while this was happening Jeremy had Killed one goblin by dodging its trust and then killing it with its own spear.. Now he was slashing at another.. The remaining 3 Goblins surrounded me.. i had ran ahead to try to lure some of the goblins away from the others.. and apparently it worked..on was behind me.. and to were in front on both sides.. the one behind attack.. he swung his speak straight down. I qickly turn and hit his spear down, speeding it toward the ground..then sliced through its neck.. with out waiting to see it fall i turn to face the other 2.. they moved around.. there was now a goblin on both sides of me.. the one on my right rushed in and attacked.. i grabed its spear and pulled the little imp in front of me. the cut through its neck from behind... i turned the spear in one hand and tossed it at the other goblin...i missed... the goblin charged at me then leaped in to the air. i hit his weapon to the side and trusted my sword straight back with my left arm .. its body hit the ground.. followed shortly by it's head... I wiped the blood from my sword with a hand full of grass and return to my friends.
"Seina? i thought your world was the one that had the monsters? so why are there monsters here?" i asked " The desions are the ones who sent the monsters to my world.. no one knows why.." Seina replied
i figured it was to keep her people from traveling too much.. which would make it hard fro them to band together against the Desions.. but i did not fell like hearing any stupid theories from Bruce and Jeremy , so i kept it to myself..
Travel turned out to be easy with out have to actually carry our supplies.. Of course had we known we didn't have to before we left we would have brought much more.. We had made in out of the field and we had not seen any more monster.. it was geting late so when we started looking for a place to camp.. we found a nice place with a stream near by. we sit up camp under a thicket with trees scattered about..Jeremy and Senia gathered wood as Bruce and i forged for food... We caught a rather larger rodent we could only describe as a Squirrel-Rabbit.. The fire was already started when we got back to camp.. i relaxed by the fire. Bruce was sorting out the supplies and Jeremy was skinning the"game", but he kept cutting himself as he always kept one eye on Seina.. As i sat there i realized i never really took a good look at Seina.. I hadn't really had the chance.. i was too busy acting confident and leader like.. She mostly talked to Brue and Jeremy.. Seina had tan skin.. too tan for my personal tastes but not too bad.. She had an athletic body and a nice figure.. She was taller than Bruce and Jeremy but not as tall as me.. She had a ok face.. But it was the kind you could never tell how she was felling.
her har was long and tied high on the back of her head but some still hung to her neck on either side..i noticed her hair was alittle too neat for her to have been a slave... but i was in no mood to discuss her cosmetic secrets..
I made the mistake of letting Bruce cook diner.. it was.. terriblely bald.. (lucky i had hot sauce) We ate quickly and Jeremy i i got in some sword practice before dark.
Jeremy volunteered for the first watch that night.. I woke up for my turn.. to see Jeremy laying down.. i though he was asleep.. but at a closer look.. i notice, he still had that one eye open....

Encounter

.....World Jumpers... Part 4...
I awoke earley to find Jeremy asleep and bruce and Seina gone... I woke up jeremy.. He was less that happy that Senia was gone.. It was not hard to find out were they had went.. Bruces wooden sandles tend to leave a trail.. We followed the footprints to the stream.. as we got close we noticed seina's clothes hanging on the limb of a tree.. we quickly dove behind some bushes.. From were we were crouching we could see seina bathing in the creek.. I felt bad watching but Jeremy never even blink.. Well after she went under water up to her neck and didn't look as if she'd move soon, Jeremy finally asked.."Were is Bruce?" i simple pointed.. There, hardly 15 feet from us bruce was crouching behind another set of bushes..
Seina rerturned to the camp a few minutes later to find us sitting around, trying to act as normal as possible. We gather are weapons and set out .. the scouter showed a settlement was not too far from us and we were sure we could make it there before dark... The journey was not too eventful. we encounter a lone, slow, cumbsy zombie along the way.. we took turn severing limbs..the procced on our way... We arrived at the village at aliitle past 2:00 pm.. It looked like a medevil town to me.. A seven foot wall surounded most of the town.. most of the buildings were made of wood and had thach roofs except for a single marble tower in the center of town.. There were armored quards with spears, but they did not even speak to us as we entered.
I did not notice at the time but a cloaked figure had been following us since we entered the town.. We split up.. Jeremy and Bruce looked around one side of town.. Seina went to reserve us rooms at the inn.. and i went to have a look at the marble tower.. As i walked the streets i heard gasps and sreeks around the corner form me.. Suddenly a giant dragonlike creature with bull horns came chargeing toward me, pulling a cariot. I leaped to the side i caught a glips of the driver as he apassed..I was a Desion...
I started to draw my sword, but i realized this was there world.. i should not needlessly draw attention to myself.. I continued on to the marble tower.. It was not as tall i i imagined a tower should be but it was much taller that the other buildings in the village.. I was almost perfectly round at the base, it was obviously very old but it seemed to be cleaned often or at least it had been resently.. I cirled it once but found no visible means of entrace.. A old blind woman sat alone at the base of the tower.. Have nothing else to do i asked her what this tower was... She laughed at me.. i suspose it must have seen odd for someone to ask such a thing; however she answer.." No villager really knows" hissed the old woman" The Desion refer to it as a 'relay point' the say the the top of the tower shines bright yellow when the desions use its power" she pause" " heh.. i never seen it though" she giggle harshly.. i raised my eyebrow ing confusion, then thanked her and left...
i foung Bruce and jeremy very easly...they stood out quite a bit.. Bruce said he found nothing useful.. But Jeremy held some strange bonoculier and a remote control..
We settled at the inn for the night.. i did not share waht i learn with the others.. I was to busy wondering about the here and now.. Jeremy had been uncharactericticly curtious by takeing the liberty of get a bathing tube for Seina.. Now when i heard this i had my obvious suspitons.. But Seina stayed in a seperate room..
was wasn't even next to ours... Bruce sat in the corner sharpening our swords.. i was fixing diner, and jeremy sat on the other end of the room with one eye open, fidleing with his remote... I laughed when i figured it out.. jeremy was wearing one contact that acted as a screen.. and the remote cotrolled the bonoculars.. So now jeremy could keep that eye on Seina no matter what...

Captured

........World Jumpers..... Part 5.........
The sun rose on a new day.. Senia was still asleep. Actually, all Bruce and i knew was she was still in her room, but we got it froma very relible source that she was in bed..
Bruce, Jeremy, and I sat on the balcony of the inn.. We were trying to think of a way to get it to the mable tower.. We couldn't think of anything. so after awhile, the subject changed into, "What are we doing in this world anyway?"
If was a justifed question, all we had planed out was to get senia home.. we had not considered the fact that we were now targets because of our interfearince. And Jeremy brought up the point that senai would not be safe, even in her home world.. I.. I didn't wanna say so, but we could not risk going home until we were no longer sought after by the Desion.. Although i knew we were not afraid of them.. The risk to our families was to great..
I changed the supject before too much doubt was input into Bruce and Jeremy. "I not really sure there is anything in the tower at all."i said Then relayed the story of the old hissing woman from the day before. Bruce paused, then said" In any case we have no other clues.. we need the quarinats to Seina's world." Before i could think of a responce Jeremy punched me on the shoulder.. I instinktively hit him back as i was used to this gesture.. However this time it had a propose. Three Desion were walking down ths street toward us.. We just observed them.. We intended to follow them, or find someway to get information from them. Suddenly one of the Desion looked stratled and gazed toward us.. But even with his strange mask on i could tell he was not looking at us.. He was looking right under us! Seina had walk out the inn and was now standing in the street.. The Desion pointed his finger at her and shouted."Stop! halt right there pirsoner #143.. 7.. 9." He obviously didn't know her number and this seemed to confused the other two Desions.. Bruce and I leaped from the ballcony and unsheathed our swords.. The Desions looked at each other for a moment then laughted; They each took out a small siver rod.. One by one they slung them forward and out: Each rod opened into a different weapon!
One became a whip, another a lond staff, and the other.. well just a slightly longer rod..
The won with the rod charged forward and Bruce rushed to meet him. Bruce's sword clashed into the rod . A greenlokking electric energy suddenly surrounded the staff as well as bruce's word.. "ohh no!" i said to myself. But Bruce just smiled and puched the rod back " heh heh"snickered Bruce. " electrical tape." Bruce the raised his ninja sword. and pointed the tip of the blade directly at the Desion's eyes.. I reconized the stance.. It was a trick to get his opponent to misjudge the length of his sword..
And it worked! the Desion struck at the sword and missed leaveing him open for bruces attack .. The Desion fell and The one with the staffed steped back.. Meanwhile the other one had his whip around my leg.. i kept trying tocut it but what ever it was made of was strong. Suddenly a shadow surrounded the Desions.. The very sun was ecliped.. by jeremy's large ass... Jeremy stood an the roof of the inn.. holding a rope in his hands.. Jeremy yelled the jumped off the building he swung toward the Desion with the whip, And swung right passed, crashing into a wall. The Desion turn to laught.. And laugh he did, but when he turned back around he found me towering over him..i could read his fear even trogh his mask.. i grabed his neak and his belt , then trow him over me toward Bruce, How simpley steped to the side and cut him as he flew past.. The two of us turned toi face the remaining Desion, but soon lost our smug looks.. The Desion stood there hold a large, yellow, glowing ring that was around Jeremy's neck .. He laughted.. "Come to me my Breaker!" " Whats a Breaker?" i asked noone in particular. Al of the sudden, from around the corner came chargeing the same Bullhorned dragon thing from the day before.. The beast was pulling a chaiot which The Desion leaped upon, takeimg jeremy along with him. We ran afther the Desion, we were not sure we had any chance of catching him.. And before we got the chance to find out a shine light apeared form the top of the Marble tower .

..... Part 5 1/2..... Confintation

A Giant yellow fured, goblin like creature appeared.. It carryed to large spiked maces and had large tusked reaching out its mouth and going up toward its red eyes.. It let out a eye ringing roar then swung one of the mace down at me. i jumped to the side I started to run towards it. but the beast's red eyes stoped me cold. The monster swung arcoss at me. Unable to dodge a second tim i tryed ro block. but the force of the blow hiting my sword sent me fly backwards then rolling across the ground untill being stoped by a wall.. Bruce too try to block.. his sword went flying out his had. Bruce turned and began to run away.. the beast gave chase.. The monster was gaining. it was almost upon him. it took out mt smaller ninja sword i kept on my leg and trew it. It stuck it the groung just infront of bruce.. The beast swung it mace down at bruce.. Without hesitation Bruce grabed the sword and swung it into the mace as he tryed to step aside.. He used the force of his own strike and pushed off the mace tpo get out the way.. then jumped back..
the beast had its eyes closed.. as if it was sure it had gotton bruce.. By now i had gotton up. I walked up to Bruce .. i whispered to him.. It must not have been low enough as the Beast sudenly opened it eyes and roared! I rose my Katana into the air. and, as per my insrtucktions bruce charged towrd the monster..
The Beast did a clive move swinging one mace from both sides at one.. Right be fore the moment they both would have hit bruce he jumped and dove over them. then rolled between he beast legs and under him.. This amazed the simple minded monster.. he bend down to see were his small prey had gone.. the made him lose ballance . The monsters head crashed into the groubd,, i ran forward and was about to stab my katana down into its head but he began to rise much faster than i had expected.. i was still in the air,, and the back of that huge tuske head caught my and carryed me up.. i almost fell of its back but i managed to stab my sword into its back. then road it down , cutting the beast all the way down.. When i landed i quickly jumped forward.. i closed my eyes and stood up.. i began to sheath my sword while slistening to the sounds of the monster falling behind me.. I opened my eyes and turned around.. The head of the beast was so close to landing on me.. The top of the head had touched the back of my boot...

Infiltration

.........World Jumpers...... Part 6......
“What!?!” Bruce and I were amazed at what we heard.. Seina confirmed my theory that the Marble tower was empty..
It was only a relay point.. The Desion had many such towers all over their world, and even in part of her world that the Desions controlled. They used them to warp themselves (and apparently monsters) from one point in the world to anywhere within the range of a tower.. Seina didn’t know the exact range of the towers.. However I was still surprised, I did not expect a former slave to have so much information… Not only that , but what she said disturped me… apparently not only could the Desion not die they just vanish and are heal… But also I had thought they Just warped to Seina’s world , took what they wanted and left… Now I knew they not only left behind monsters but also occupation forces… But something else Seina said that I found interesting was.. Seina confirmed one of my other threoys that the Desion where once much more advanced.. See didn’t know exactly what happened, but long ago most of the technology was lost.. But what was evn more interesting.. The technology they used now was only around because it was made to last.. The Desion lacked both the knowledge and the resource to build new one… or fix broken ones…

“We should just worry about saving Jeremy for now.” Bruce said, interrupting my train of though.. “We don’t even know were the Desion are keeping him..” I added.. “Actually..” Appaerently we were lucky.. The town we were in was far out in the middle of nowhere and besides the tower and a single base was of little importance to the Desions..
The tower of the town was only in the range of one Desion base.. That’s the only place they could have taken Jeremy..
What surprised me was that it was Bruce was the one who found this out.. it was all information from the Scouter..

“Can the Scouter take us to this base” I asked. Suddenly Seina missed a breath and fixed her eyes on the floor. ”What’s wrong?” “I.. I… It needs a attachment… I wasn’t able to steal it all.. As it is the Scouter can’t warp us different places within the same world or use the power of the marble tower.. However I am not sure of what all it can do..” “ so don’t play with it so much!” I said takeind it from Bruce.. I turned it over and looked at the map screen.. The Desion base was not far.. less than half a days walk.. But still I wanted to find a quicker way..
Suddenly it came to me.. I looked out the side. And saw a breaker pulled chariot parked aside a trading post..(it was a nice trading post , I had gotten my boot there).. We went down in the street to take a look at it.. I then went inside the trading post to find the Desion it belonged to.. To may shock I found the Desion uniform laying on a table.. The Desion was in the back trying on some clothes… I grabbed the uniform and ran out side handing it to Bruce. Bruce and Seina the ran back into the inn.. I waited around the corner with the chariot .. After a little while Bruce came out look embarrassed.. I said “ Bruce? Why didn’t you put on the uniform?” “ You’ll see.” He said . I was shocked at what I saw next.. Seina came out wearing the uniform, I could see why.. it was obviously a female outfit.. The face was expose from the nose down.. The was armor on the shoulders, forearm, And on the legs up to the knee.. But the stomach, The top of th breast the top of the legs.. and the better part of the but was expose… It was kinda funny.. Bruce didn’t know whether to drool or to laugh (he drooled… then kinda giggled)
Sein aalso had one the Desion whips.. (which I think really went with the out fit..) I hoped on the chariot. I said “ come on, Jeremy is gonna be happy to [ I took another look at Seina] really happy to see us…”
We thunder away, pulled by the enormous Breaker… The ride was a little bumpy ( because we let Seina drive) The ride to the Desion base was pretty uneventful besides Bruces’s and mine conversation about the female Desion coming out of that trading post naked and angry… We approached the base.. Bruce and I layed low in the chariot and made out to be tied up just in chase we were noticed… we were lucky, the mGuards let us in without a question… if fact we never even stoped as we enter the gate.. We didn’t want Seina to be in danger (actually we didn’t want her to slow us down.. but we lacked the nerve to tell her that) so she just droped us off and left the base. We told her to wait for us at a large tree that stood alone we had seen on the way over..
Bruce and I made our way toward the main part of the base.. we had to start out out side ..we were inside the wall but we had to find our own way into the inter areas.. Since we were to be snaking (to the dislike of Bruce who preferred the direct approach) we only carried one weapon.. well I had one extra on my back for Jeremy when we found him...

Rescue (probally)

.... World Jumpers..Part 7....

Bruce and i wander the Desion base.. all of the entrances to the main base seemed to be gaurded heavly... We were pretty sure that we had found a way in through the roof... But troops of Desions marched up and down the base.. This was apparently a training base, which was ok.. the base was mostly filled with new recruts, and being a backwater/out of the way base, there wouldn't more than a handful of Desion officers.
(turns out there was only one)As we hide behind some particually smelly trash.. Bruce and I noticed something interesting...The Desion that march back and forth were not in full uniform, little more than helmets and knee pads...
Unable to handle the smell of the trash anylonger we tackled some straglers, beat the live daulights out of em and hide them in the garbage... we had to dig them back out because we had forgot to take there helmets.. Oddly enough out of the five Desion we tackle...(a few extra) none of the helmets fit Bruce... The on he finally settled on kepted falling over his eyes... We looked really funny... the helmets left our mouths expossed.. and as for the knee pads.. mine didn't match...
We climbed up a flag pole to get onto the roof... Bruce just simmied up it... i tryed , but no luck i finally figured out to put my feet on the side of the wall and climb up that way...
Almost as soon i i reached the top and stud up.. A Desion troop leader spoted me.. Bruce froze..
(no surpize.. He did the same thing we got caught cut trough a old man's yard.. but as last time i steped up) unable to think i just said what came to me...I siluted and said "Sir! i've been order to hang this rookie from the poll by his undergarments SIR!" "-ohh man-" i said to myself.. i just knew there was noway this was going to work... But amazingly.. he simply said" carry on" and walked away.. We found a small duct and opened it.. Bruce kneeled down and looked in.."How far down is it?" i asked
"Not very far..." he said slowly.." soo... it wouldn't..really hurt if you were to fall..?"
.."well no...i/" before he could finish i grabed his legs and pushed him inside.. I heard a metel ding sound.. then a slideing sound... then i heard in a echo "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... huff huff... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" CRASH bing band plumup.!while this was happening i notised another hatch.. i opened it and saw a ladder... when i reached the bottom and found bruce laying in a hall.. i started shakeing him and he sprang up.. He was furious with me(and here i had hoped he wouldn't remember it..) He was about to grab my shirt when suddenly we bcame aware of a Desion standing behind us.. He rushed up to us then stoped.. I began to speak but stoped.. he looked down at my knee pads and slowly said in a questioning and unsure matter.." Captin". i wasn't sure what to say so i said "I am" " The guy nearly jumped "I! I've been looking everywhere for you!" .."...Wha..?" i replided(if you wanna that a reply) " the Desion was unsure again." you are the Visitong combat instructor are you not? i have the knee pads of a instructor and a captin.. I didn't think we had one here already...but i am new here.. " Yes!" i said quickly, trying to sound a confident as posiible.." You need me now?" i said " Yes yes yor are already late for your lesson" "-Ohh man i thought to myself, i had no idea what was going on... I didn't know what was going to happen.. but i decided to try and get some quick information out of this guy incase we had to "take care" of him before we got to any more Desion-. i gestured for him to lead the way.. Soon afther we began walking i said to the Desion trainee.
"I understand you have a prisoner?" " Um.. yes" the Desion replyed" i surpized you know that .. we are currently holding he in the equipment manufactory and asimble room.. however are unsure of why.." What do you mean" i asked (although i did find it strange he be kept in a equipment whatever... ) "well" he said " the Scout who captureed him got a promotion for it and left to work at a larger base without even explaining wht the prisoner had done." .. how is that possible...?" i asked confused.. " you see this is a training base for newbies.. i've only been here a few day but i can tell they are not very organized or serious here..." i just laughed .. The Desion laughted back.. "If we had a quilfied interigater, we could question him.. "I looked at Bruce and said.. "My freind here can do it.." "alright" he said without even hesitation" i take him there after you start you lesson" -ahh man i thoughh, i had almost forgot about the lesson thing...
I was lead into a large open room filled with Desion trainees.. I was handed a a metal rod.. i looked around at these Novics.. they were shakeing with fear almost.. it was obvious few of them had ever even held a weapon.. i smiled to myself ,,"lets begin!" " i need to see what you all already know.. " suddenly i heard several streaks of terrior comeing from my"student" "Line up! ready your weapons and come at me one afther another!"
Meanwhile The Desion that had lead bruce and i to the trainees now lead Bruce to were Jeremy was. Bruce had made it across the room i was in and as he was walking out the could hear the terrible screams of pain terror comeing from the
helps Desion trainees...
Afther a few minutes Bruce returned to the trainees all over the floor moaning in agany..
He came up to me and told me that a gaurd wouldn't let him in to see Jeremy.. So i wen with him" Classed desissed!" i shoued ass i left..then all the desion seemed to moan in unision..
I got rid of Jeremy's gaurd easily enough. i simple told him there was a shortage of outsid quards due to a traininng mishape i told him he had been reasigned.. We opened the door and walked insude we took of our desion helmets.. and Started to look for jeremy.. it didn't take long.. but what we saw horrified us...

...Rescue part 2

.........World Jumpers... Part 7 3/4....

I froze...Bruce gasped...then froze... Before our i was the most terrifing sight we had ever had the displeasure of beholding. In front of us was a strange table.. it was angled so both ends faced down and it made a point alittle back from the middle.. On the table layed naked and on his stomach was Jeremy... He had a dazed look on his face..But the part that was truely horrifing was a Large clear hose perturping form his large hairy ass..! The hose seemed to be sucking out ...god knows what.. But whatever it was it was going into a large machine and seemed to be chargeing it...There was no way i was going any closer... i looked around i spoted a control panel.i yelled to Bruce." Bruce! there, the controls! turn this thing off!." Bruce looked at me with a confused and frightened face.. I could hear Jeremy..."oohhh ho hoohhhh ha.. oohhhhh.." he moaned as he drulled.. hesiataely and cautiously Bruce made his way to the control panel.. It was large and looked rather complecatted.. it had a couple button and and a few levers that were unmaked.. Bruce looked back and forth at that levers.. finally he placed his hands over one.. he looked back at me.. i had the same confused frantic look as him. i shurged my shoulder and shuke my head.. He made a hisssy growl and pulled that lever.. at first nothing happened.. but sooon the machinery change sound.. The.. horide substance in the hose paused... then resumed pumping.. Twice as fast as before!!! Jeremy sreamed the highest piched scream i had ever heard.. i thought it was going to make my ears bleed. i called to Bruce but was so frantic i couldn't think." Bruce ! Bruce! was all i got out.. Bruce screamed, then quickly pulled anouther lever..This one .. REVERSED IT!!! (but jeremy stoped sreaming like a girl) Jeremy reveresed his scream as well.. instead oh EEHHHHHHH!! it was more like.."AAHHHHHH!!!"
Bruce paniced.. he began running round in circle waveing his hands in the air and screaming.. i didn't know what to do! i was franic. suddenly the panic and confusion took over. I grasp the hilt of the katana i wore on my side and charged at Jeremy. As i got close i leaped into the air and grasped the handle of my katana thight i drew it from the sheath with unreal speed sliceing through the hose.. Turns out this was not such a good idea.. before i could compose myself or even sheath my sword the hose started shakeing violely .. and in one quick burst ALL ot the gas and bile exploded from the in a single burst! In the confusion i had cover my eyes.. when i opened them i looked around, i was fine, the bile had missed me.. " hah hah! Look Bruce! the machine has stoped and we're all... " i turned to look at Bruce.. I had spoke too soon... Bruce stood as if Phitrified.. His eyes were open unnaturaly wide, His hair stood stiff as a board and pointed straight back.. ..
It took awhile but both Bruce and Jeremy woke up.. Afther waiting and few minutes( i wasn't about to touch him)Jeremy suddenly opened his eyes. Jeremy sprang from the table."Emnauel!! and.. Bruce.. man you look awful..But i'm soo happy to see you!" Jeremy ran up and huged me..(with was even worse that usual being he was still naked) then he went over to hug Bruce, who still hadn't moved. but just as jeremy was about to wrap his arms around him he suddenly sprang to life. Bruce screamed almost as loud had Jeremy did. He pushe off jeremy and ran away. Jeremy followed him with his arms spread open ... I made the mistake of looking that way... and i found that, not only was jeremy still naked... but he had not removed the hose yet...Not dareing to tell him, we waited around for around for Jeremy to notice the hose on his own and remove it himself...It toke awhile but he finally did..
Now obviously we had not counted on finding Jeremy naked.. so we had not brough any extra clothes... so all we could give him was a karate jacket Bruce had on.. Being bruce was so much shorter that Jeremy it didn't cover nearly enough.. The jacket left 1/4 of his exceptionaly large ass exposed..I was wearing a large enough robe over my shirt. but i wasn't about to let a naked jeremy wear it.. but i couldn't keep looking at that either... so i made him tie Bruces jacket around him like a dhiper and then i gave him my robe.(with every intention of makeing him wash it over and over until such time as i felt it was clean enough again) Then i took the extra sword from my back and gave it to him.
We excited the room and enter the long hallway.. There was no way we could blend in with a half naked escaped prisoner.. so we didn't bother with our Desion helmets.. From here on out this was to be a sneaking mission. Afther the trama bruce and i had whitnessed we could not seem to remember how to get out.. we passed the room full of the wounded trainees.. i couldn't help but peek in.. That was another bad idea on my part i was spoted.. apparently the Desion were on alert..(must have smelled the gas and bile) every able body Desion gave chase.. lucky for use that was only 3... when the desion reached the hall we didn't even bother to run..besides i needed a good fight to get all the disturping images out of my mind...
Bruce and i stood side by side with our hands on our swords.. Jeremy steped forward and pushed us back, gestureing to us that he was goin to handle this..The closest Desion soon reached Jeremy and jumped at him.. with out moveing any other part of his body jeremy simple Extended his right arm forward and caught the guy in mid air, jeremy pushed upward and back trowing the Desion right over his shoulder! The Desion flew past us..and landed on his head..(It sounded as if he broke something) as soon as The desion whole body had hit the floor Jeremy took out with sureal speed.. Before the next closest Desion had noticed he moved he was on him.. Jeremy never stoped running, he just graped the mask of The Desion and forced him along, carrying him by his face! He ran toward the last Desion.. As Jeremy got within 10 feet of the Desion he pulled then Desion in his hand back, And broke his neck as he twirled around. A instant afther he broke the neck he had completely turned around, he hurled the Desion's body at His frighten comrade.. The other desion barly dogded his freinds corpes.leaning back and watching it as it passed . He quickly turned back to face jeremy but all he saw was Jeremy furiously chargeing at him with his arm raised over his shoulder grasping his sword... A split second later Jeremy was stoped, just behind the Desion.. He was leaning forward with his sword pointing forward... The Desion stood there as if frozen.. Then blood spewed from his chest like a garden sprikler.. The Desion fell to the floor, soon followed by the rest of his torso.


Escape

.............World Jumpers.....Part 9....
The resuse had went from interesting to exciteing to boring... Sence we had preety much taken care of all of the Desions .. we could just walk the halls of the based looking for a excited without the slightest amount of caution.
I'm not sure were we were in tha base but in a corner of one hall we found the largest vending machine i'd ever seen!!!! It had every thing.. and i mean everything.. From Drinks to Hot Sauce, from Pickles to lubbercate...
Bruce got him a new jacket of of it.. I stocked up on some hot sauce ( i had been forced to use mine becouse of Bruces awlful cooking) And jeremy was aboput to get something.. But being we had not used money and just broke the machine.. securituiy soon showed up.. Now we had of course heard the alarm .. but we had figured that we had already taken care of all the Desion in the base. and we were partly right.. What came after us was obviously not a Desion.. .. I rolled up to us.. it sounded and look like a large toy car...
it ran into jeremy's leg and backed up quickly, makeing that same remote control car sound...
i walked up to it , then began to lean over to look at it: but just as i did it made a loud metal grinding sound. It backed away from me and the began to open up! soon the once small toy thing towered over me.. It was some kinda robot. it Was mostly a tan color.. it had arm but not hands.. it didn't have any kind of face,, just one red eye...
It looked at me for a minute.. the slowly raised its handless arem and pionted it at me.. Suddenly a large rod like exteb=ntion shot out at me.. it dodged out of the way as fast as i could but it still srcaped across my shoulder. It zoomed right by jeremy head before he could even react! then the arm smashed into the wall behind us.. Seeeing my opportuneity i drew my sword and sliced at the extention as fast as i could..howver my blade barely made a spark and just bounced off!"Not a scrach!" i thought aloud.. it turned around and took bruce new jacket he had yet to try on and tosed it over the robot's head. ...And then we ran!! We dashed down the hall We looked as if we were raceing, each of us trading the lead not wanting to be last in line.. "Its ok! with its skinny legs it'll never catch us~" i said cofidently, however still runing as hard as the others... We had ran around at least 3 corner when we stopped to caught our breath. . We began looking at one anouther with relif.. but soon we heard a thundering sound comeing from behind us.. we peeked around the corner.
The robot was speeding toward us using the wheel on the bottom of its feet!!
"AAAHHHHH!!!!" we screamed in unision. we took of down that hall like bats with the flames of hell at our heels( do bats have heels?)
The hall ahead of us we clear.. and we could see that we didn't have muct more space to run. it looked to be a deadend ahead.... " look!" bruce shouted" there its a hole .. it our only hope!" Ahead of use there was a small hole in the wall/ it looked like some kind of pipe.. I i wasn't sure about it.. Over it it said "Trash"
and i had seen Star Wars... but before i could mention that.. little ole bruce had pulled ahead of us and dove into the pipe. i slowed down . . Jeremy ran ahead of me. he dove!.. and suddenly stoped... he was stuck.. (i'm sure you can guess why) i stoped dead in my track.. well i did slide alittle but still.. i stoped.. I turned, looked at the robot speeding toward me. i knew i couldn't cut trough its armor... and i could allow myself to run away with Jeremy stuck and.. we'll say.. exposed... .. there was only one thing i could do . i drew my sword and held it in front of me.. . It did not do what i had expected.. with out stoping it raised its left arm and shot out the rode at me.I move slightly to the side and let it go past me..I smiled. for that moment i believed that this may be easy.. my bliss was soon destroy, while then one rod was still extending The robot raised it other arm and shot it!.. there was nowhere fr me to go! i leaning into the left robot arm and squeezed myself together. The other went passed my otherside.. but i could not squessze enough. they arms both rubed against my shoulders, cutting my clothes trought my sleves and burning my skin..
It was aginizeing . but soon the arms began to retract (hurting even worse) When the arms passed me i ran afther them.. They retraked quicker than i had expected. as soon as the arms were in it shot the left one out at me again. I dodged. and even on the outsid this time.. The arm continued to zoom past my left side.. the robot's red eye turned to look at me. the it swung around and hit me with the still extended arm.. i flibed over and rooled.. the robot retracted the arm and then resumed chargeing at me while i was still on the ground .. i It looked as if it intened to run over me!. I began to striggled to my fet.. i had barely made it to my knee went it was almost on me! it suddenlly stoped as it pointed bothe its arms down at me and shot them both at the same time! i barely managed to leap backwards,, i was hit in the face by pieaces of the floor the arms had broken with the shot...

Mayhem

..........World Jumpers....... Part 10.....

.. I seemed to be handing in the air.. To me.. time seemed to have slowed down... I had jumped backwards.. in front of me was the robot.. Both of its arm rods were extened and, smashed into the floor.. i could watch the broken peaices. as they were flung into the air.. But i was watching the robot.. This machine that seem invunireible to any weapon i had.. My sword could not cut its armoers exsoseleiton.. I looked into its red eye....
"THE EYE!" I landed... suddenly it hit me.. the sound od the breaking floor, the pieaces flying through the air..reality and time's full force had returned to me. I leaped back at the robot who's arm were still stuck in the floor.. It trusted my sword forward and into the robot's red eye.. It perised it.. i smiled thyen tryed to pull my sword out. but it was stuck... The robot twisted violemtly.. I had not finished it off apparently.. The robot pointed its arm at my chest. Franticly i pulled.. The sword came lose! i jumped backwards and held the sword in front of me.. the robot fired its extending arm straight forward.. right were i was!.. i turned my blade to the side, holding it in the path of the arm. i was still in the air, going backwards.. the rod was speeding to ward me.. my sword meet it.. i held the hilt tight.. The trusted me along for a moment.. until me feet reached the ground.. The rod still flying forward as i was falling down..I heared a crack!. i look in to my blade...again time seemed to slow.. i saw my eye reflected in the blade. Then a crack ran from the one side of the balde to the other, right across my eye! my treasured katana Shattered!.. in that instant nothing else exsisted.. all i could see was the framents of my sword . gilttering as they slowly fell.. in my paniced, slowed down reality...
Time swiftly returned to me and before i even knew it myself i was on my feet I was now unarmed, faceing down a seemingly unstopable robot..It didn't have its eye.. and if i didn't move.. it wouldn't move.. but i couldn't just stand there forever..i slowy looked around the room... It was mostly a large empty room.. in frnt of me was just the robot and behind it was the hall we had came from. behind me was the tunnel. well now there was just jeremy's ass stuck in a wall... other thab that there were just a few monitore on the wall and a single Machine unit.. i didn;t know what it did but it had a large red light light globe on the side of it.. It was tall.. maybe tall enough too.. I took off.. dashing toward the large computer machine thing..(i had no idea what it was)
I not sure which .. but one of that robot sensers pick it and it turned around and fired it arms at me rpaetedly.. It was not stop dodgeing. one of the arms passed right in frot of me and i had to dive over it. . i was alost at the machine . i slided stop right in frony=t of it.. i sared at the blind robot.
POOFM! it fired both arms in my direction.. i leaped to the left amd watched the arms as they passed.. The smashed into that machine. priesing into it.. GeeeISSST! spark began to burn, flowing up rh robot's arms.. The machine Explode!! blowing the ends off the robots arms and blowing it back.. The robot lay on the floot.. arms still extened.. The machine smoked..
i simled .. "i did it!" i said proud ly to myself.. i walked over to the hilt of my shattered sword.. i began to lean over to retrive it but suddedn the room was filled with red light.. and another alarm went off far diferent from the last. "WHAT!?!" i scream to myself. my question was soon answered when a voice came over a intercom."Self destruct sequence activated.. Self distruct in 15 minutes.. Hmm.. why so long i asked myself..
SSSICCCK "WHa?!" The metal rods of the robot suddenly retracted. The arms the pointed to the flooe and BOOFM it shot its self into the air.. and crashed into the celling( not fuuny at the time) The lowered itself abck down.. The robot The robot twirled around in circles. then stoped at me..It chest opened up.. exposeing 4 eyes. 3 made a upside down trigangle with the 4th in the middle. I quickly finished bending and picked up my Broken sword.. A spark was comimg from the robot's right arm. and it was no longer moving.. but the other pointed at me, I stood still and compose... i knew i had to finish this thing now.. because the base was about to explode and and It was not just me but jeremy was still stuck in the wall...
The robot's remaing arm fired at me.. I leaned to the side and the arm flew past me abd crashed into the wall.. i grab the arm.. I was riped from the ground as the robot's arm retracted.. I held on as my feet danggled along behind me..
I let go as i aprouched the robot, still zooming toward towards id i held out the point of my broken sword.. My shattered katana piersed
the the middle eye. , i quickly shifted my weight were as for my feet to he the robot .. insteed of... the rest of me. the robot toppled over as sparks escaped from the sword wound.
Leaped the robot leaveing the broken katana stuck in its chest.. I heard several small explosion and the robot twiched. then just smoked.. I looked back at the rear wall.. to see Jeremy's.. rear still stuuck in th pipe...
"self destruct in 10 minutes" the intercom echoed.. In a painic i ran back down the hall to the vending machine... i picked up as much butter and other lubbercate as i could carry and ran back down the hall"... 6 minutes"
I made it back to Jeremy and began to pull his legs.. "come on Jeremy! i don't know how much time we have. "4 minutes" said the intercom as if in answer..i finally jerked Jeremy free. he looked so releived. he tried to hug me" no time for that" i Handed him a tub of butter "give me back my robe and rub it on lard ass!" i put back on my robe and and started sqirting tube of jelley stuff on him..It sprayed kechupt on him.. i broke a jar of jam and trew it on him.. Then i said "best of luck Jeremy!"
"why would you say that?" he asked "cause i am goind first.." And i dove into the tunnel.. It went straight The steaply fell . then turned up sending me flying a few feet at the end.. landing near bruce who was clamly siting by a tree.. I was followed closely by a very icky Jeremy.....

Lost

.......World Jumpers...... Part 11.....
BOOOM!! . The base Desion base began to explode section by section... (about 10 seconds after it said it was going to) We waited aliitlewhile for Jeremy's ick to harden.. the cracked it and i just fell off in peices.
We made our way to the tree Senia was suspose to be waiting for us.. she wasn't there.. but all of our stuff was.. I quickly picked up my baby(wooden sword) and kissed it, promiseing never to leave it again. On the tree was a note. It was from Senia. it said she had used the Desions device and already went to her world! She apparently had found it on her Stolen Desion uniform. She also wrote the numbers we need to put in the scouter to get there ourselves..
"well.." i said after haveing read the note. " The Desion will be looking for us soon.. and senia won't be safe on her own.. We'd better go."
Bruce whiped out the scouter (don't ask me were he had it) then he put in the numer from the note and pressed the proceed button... nothinh happen.. he pressed it again.. still nothing... He notice a emergency button.. "well this i kinda a emerency.." .. soo he pressed it.. Two portal open on either side of us and began sucking everthing in to them!!.. I Bruce was instantly sucked into the portal in front of me nearest to jeremy.. along with the scouter and all our stuuff.. Jeremy was being pulled in by the portal behind him. as was i i only i was going toward the other portal! Jeremy grabed my arm. We both began to be pulled toward my portal.. I knew there was no escape for me.. But i could not leave bruce alone.. I puled Jeremy in and kicked off o him.. Knocking him into Bruce's portal and leaveing me sucked into mine.. alone.. Inside the portal was so bright i could not sse. i closed my eyes. The i flet myself falling! i hit the ground.. it felt like i had only fell a few feet.. i opened my eyes,.. i was in a thicket. i got up and Exited the bushes. i was on top a cliff! and down below in the distance was a samll village.. As i expected there was no sign. of Bruce and Jeremy. I was alone..without supplies, and the only weapon i had was my baby.. I made way around to a path leading to the bottom of the cliff, and headed toward the village..

Jeremy opened his eyes and looked around unable to locate Bruce.. turns out he had landed on him.. ... When Bruce recovered he asked "Were is Emanuel!?!" Jeremy didn't answer. he turned his head away and stood up He picked up his sword and said" We may as well camp here.. i'll go get fire wood and look around.. " Bruce understood.. he turned his attention to the scatterd supplies and weapons.. He gather them up, then perpared a place for a fire and awaited Jeremy's return..

Siege

"Emanuel you'll be fine"... i told myself as i made my way to the distant village i had seen from the cliff.. It was longer than it had looked.. I had camped in a thicket over night...alone.. i was looking forward to wakeing and seeing jeremy stare at Seina and Bruce burning breakfast... but i was alone.. I had nothing, only my wooden sword... well actally i had found my black cloak.. it must have been pulled into the portal with me..
I was hungray, along my path to the village all i thought about was how to talk my way into a meal, being i had no means of compensation that i knew of..
I had been walking for a few hours.. the sun was high in the sky.. i could see smoke riseing in the distance. but i wasn't alarmed just yet.
A large rock obstrucked my view of the village.. and i had no idea how close or far away i was.
As i approched the rock, intending to climb on top of it, I heard faint screams in the distance!
i scuttled up the rock! and i saw what i can only describe as a siege!. It wasn't the largest i could imageine but never-the-less no less than 30 goblins lay between me and the village.. The village, i could see, was protect by a large wall that surrounded it..The gate was closed but there must have been something inside to merrit all the screams. I reached for my sword, prepareing to charge down and slay some goblins.. But then i remembered...my sword was gone..All i had was my Baby,a wooden sword i had made myself. It was not that i was afraid to fight with it.. it was just.. 30 GOBLINS! There i no way i could kill 30 goblins at once with a wooden sword.. So i ducked down and took a good look around.. Then goblins seemed... relaxed.. they sat spread out next to about dozen small fires.. there was no more that 3 to a fire.. but i knew if i attacked it would not take long for them to surround me.. I had to think of anouther way..I sat down behind the rock.. I was geting late.. The screaming had stoped.. but the siege was not lifted so i imageined that the villaged had taken care of whatever had plaughed them. i took a nap.. I was awoken a few hours later by sounds from the boblin camps... It was still dark.. I peered over the rock.. i could see the faint light of the soon to rise sun in the distance. But what was more interesting was that most of the goblins were.. gone.. i was confused.. had they given up? The village still stood.. i could even see the tourches of the senturies portrolling the top of the outer wall..
But more importantly was that there were less that seven goblins between me and the front gate of the village.. The sun was soon to rise and i could not risk that the other goblins could return soon.. i had to take my chance now!
I desended from the rock.. I snuck over to the nearest goblin fire.. I picked up a head size rock and smashed the head of one of the sleeping imps. Then the goblin on my right lepted up and lunged at me; i swung upwared and hit it between its neck and chin.. Its whole head looked like sreched a foot from its body, the it fell to the dirt. Anouther goblin on my left grabed its spear and trusted it at me, i caught it with my left hand and pulled it to my left side , he slashed down, hitting it between its neck and shoulder. Its little green head bent to the side, encloseing my baby in goblin flesh for a moment the it fell limb.It seemed that almost at that instant that the sun light made it over the horizon.. I pulled the spear from the dead imps hand and ran toward the Gate of the village.. Running past more sleeping goblins.. .
One goblin stood in my path it let out a squril screech. Nad shuck its spear over it head.. I tossed the goblin spear at it as i passed..(i actually hit this time) " Open the Gate!!" yelled forward hopeing and Guard would hear me as well as heed my call.. I was in luck the gate began to move makeing a crack large enoufh for me to fit trough.."you'd better hurry!" a voice called out to me from above the wall.. I looked back.. a small horde of goblins pursued me!.. I ran even harder than before (it wasn't much faster) I jumped the last few feet trought the gate, then quickly helped to other men close it behind me.. ...
I sat at a long table.. It was surounded by old folks, the village elders i persumed, They asked me who i was and why i would come to such a remote place. I did nt want to tell them about the portals or anything that they would not understand fear the parinid villages my turn on a stranger they did not trust.. So .. think back to all the advenyure video games i'd play.. i made up a story.. I told them i was a adventurer, passing triugh on errantry, and that i had gotton lost while runing from from hobgoblin.. Then i sat silent.. hope they would belive my story.. I soon got my answer when that returned my story with anouther.. They had been raided by a horde of goblins for some time now.. And that it was only a few day ago when most of the younger villagers and all of the fighting men left the village , take all there weapons with them.. the once triveing village was now defenceless with not but a few elders , some women and some young boys, mostly children remain to hold it.. The few farmer how remain were left to kill any goblins who got inside with the pichforks and shovels.
"Despite all our hardships.. we will not ask a young man to take on this treat alone.. You may rest here.. and you may leave when you get the chance. .. They gave me some food and i went outside. I looked over the wall as i ate a large peice of bread.. soo few goblins remained.. But i could hear sounds... clawing foot steps, as if near by.. as if... right under me...

Hero

.......Hero....Part 2....

.......World Jumpers.....Part 13.....
"Wanderer!" a young lady called for me. " we've prepared a place for you to sleep!"
The girl had intrupted my train of though.. i could not even remember what i had been thinking about.. I climbed down from the wall.. The smiled at me almost srainingly as i passed her and enter the small house..
The next i awoke with a jump/ suddenly remembering the sounds and realizeing what they must have been. i grabed my wooden sword and ran outside..I was too late to warn the village.. slain goblins and townsfolk already littered the streets outside the door. I heard echoing, hourse roar. perhaps ther is still hope i thought.. I hurried down the dusty street, As i turned the corner i could not belive my eyes! it appeared to be the same monster Bruce and i had killed in the village in the Desion world while chaseing the Desion who captureed Jeremy.. It looked to be the same yllow haired giant goblinlike creature, however this one only weilded one mace... A few of the villades had it surrounded, poking it with shovels and pichforks.. but they were far too afraid to get close.. I had beat one of these before.. i was the only one around who stood a chance... I would have to be the one to take it on.. even with just a wooden sword.. I let out a battle cry (more like a loud wimper) to let the villagers know i was comeing and to get out the way.. The monster notice it as well. its attention turned to me.. The other villagers stoped their poking and stood back.. I charged at the enourmas beast.. It rored and raised its mace, Then hammered it down toward me as i charged.. I paused for a instant and jumped . the mace srtuck the ground just in front of me.
I jumped over it, i raised my sword over my head and behind my back the srtuck down at its neck, the wooded sunk in a few inches..Then, even as i was in the air - my desent slowed my the pressure i continued to hold on the strike, the best roared (terrible breath). flixing its neck musle and richoseting my sword and me backwards.. i landed on one knee, sliding backwards in the dirt..- I should habe known that wasn't gonna work- i said to myself..
The beast then charged at me!! It pulled its mace over to its opposite shoulder and sung it at me like i was a tennis ball i jumped to the side, i could fell the wind from the swing blow my hair as it passed. I lept forward,strikeing the knee of the beast, i folloewed trough going down the whole leg to the ankle. the monster toppled over, falling on its mace... I walk forward confidently.. but it was too soon for that.. I turned to find the beast on its feet.. It hurled its mace at me.. I struck upwards at it as i ducked.. pushing it over me.. but not quiete enough as i could fell the blood on the back of my neck...

....Hero.. Part 2

I stood up again, i could fell blood pouring down the back of my neck, I lifted my sword in front of me..I noticed a small chuck was missing from one side close to the middle of the blade..-I must had hit one of the points on the mace.-
My Baby could not take muuch more of this.. i knew.. win or lose, this would be its last fight.. I was bleeding pretty bad.. and the back of my robe had been riped by theh passing mace as well..I threw it off.. I was intent of ending this with my next attack..
I Held my baby to the side and charged once more.. The beast trusted it hnad at me hopeing tp pirece me with its claws. I lept,push off the back of its hand, makeing me jump even hight. I slamed my sword into the top of its skull.. and my sword broke!... exactly were i expected it to. i trusted the now shortned blade into the beast eye hopeing tp pinitrate its brain ( if it had one)
Not in far enough! the beast continued to roar and scream.. I was so surprized i forgot to jump back out the way.. With its remaining eye is spoted me . the grabed me with both it massive hand, Squeezeing me aroun the waist, i thought i'd be crushed!.. "here!" on f the villagers shouted i turned to him. He tossed me a shovel, I reached..! i had barely grasped it when i pulled it over me and HAMMERED the hilt of my sword further into its eye. .. I made a long gasping sound..it grip loosened.. it began to fall.. we both hit the ground..
I looked up from on my back and saw the villagers standing around me.. then... i blacked out..

Enemy

........World Jumpers......Part 14....

Bruse and Jeremy wander the vast, empty country
side.. They had not slept well the past few night.. somehow... they just didn't fell as safe or at ease they now thatit was just the two of them..
From what they knew of Senia's village they had found its general area one the scouter's map.. but they were still quite far away.. They had no idea were how to find Emanuel (me).. but they were more worried about Senia. Emanuel was the one they had relied on in adversity, they believed that he was probally better off they they themselves(and ofcourse Senia).
Without Emanuel, Bruce and Jeremy were slowly realizing... they didn't like each other all that much.. Without Eamuel there to stop Jeremy's mocking of Bruce, they were constantly bickering.. But eventually the situation catch up with them and they'd act like freinds and compainions...for awhile anyway...
They carrying on, argueing over what they were having for lunch.. when Bruce suddenly stoped dead in his tracks.."someone is here.."
Bruce sad and his moved his eyes back and forth without moveing his head. "ahh come on! Bruce... you are just trying to copy Kenshin again... there is no one around here!"
Bruce rann forward and stoped on top of a small hill and pointed,... Jeremy rolled his eyes and followed him up the hill takeing his time in doing so.. "yeah Bruce... its a tree... wow..." Bruce lowerd his figure, but his eyes remained fixed on the tree. Slowly a Black cloak figure emerged from the shadow of the massive tre Bruce gazed upon.. Jeremy stood silent, being he now stood corrected..
Bruce held the sheath of his sword and walked forward... Bruce and the Black cloaked figure stop about 20 feet from one another.. The wind blew the Figure's balck cape, and bruce small amout of baings(hair), Jeremy kept and slightly longer distance (about 30 feet). "Who are you?" Bruce asked " You may call me Kratos..I've come for the devise... and your heads..Where is your leader?" "he-" Bruce extended his arm, gestureing for Jeremy to remain silent. "He stands before you!" Bruce answered. "As you wish." said the Kraos in a sracthy, almost hissing voice.. Kratos just stood there for a moment, His face was overshadowed by his hood.
Slowly and broad curved sword pertruded from his cape. "A... Simitar..?" Jeremy whisperd
Bruce said nothing and remained still. Jeremy studied the two. He could not tell what Kratos did due to his cloak, but Bruce shited his feet and stood ready to move in a instants notice, he slowly brought his hand around to his other side and grasp the hilt of his sword. Suddenly Kratos rushed toward Bruce, this surprised even Bruce alittle, being his feet movements where hidden by his cloak, And he ran holding his cape in front of him(kinda like cartoon batman).
Bruce stood in waiting, then with lightning spped he drew his sword in then instant before it seemed Kratos would run into him!,.. but Kratos was not there, a shadow fell over Bruce's face. He turned his eyes upward, There above his head, seemingly hanging in the air, was Kratos' cape and his Simitar raised above his hood. Rather than be scared or surprized, Bruce remain firm and seemed to gain a surreal speed and vision.. He lept to the side so fast it seemed instantainious. Kratos swung down at Bruce's previous location- landed and slashed across at Bruce before his first strike had even stoped. Bruce blocked but the force of the strike forced him back and he slid on the grass.(makeing a sqeeking sound...)
Bruce quickly composed himself and held his sword in front of him and stared into the blackness of Kratos' hooded face. Jeremy reached over his shoulder for his sword. "Stay back Jeremy!" Bruce shouted, still remaining fixed on Krathos..

Frozen

...........World Jumpers.... Part 15....
( ... wow.. part 15... ^_-' ohh ..right..)

…. Reluctantly Jeremy lowered his hand from his sword. Jeremy had always known that Bruce regarded himself as a far better swordsman than him; in his vanity he recognized only Emanuel for his skill. Jeremy could not stand this about Bruce, although he had gotten used to overlooking it; but what Bruce didn’t know was that Jeremy had been training with Emanuel every morning since there adventure began.
Jeremy had not felt the need to show off his skill to Bruce… but now he was tired of being regarded as the weakest; however he decided to give Bruce some more time..
In truth Bruce told Jeremy to stay back out of honor and his code of one on one, but even he was almost willing to admit he wanted help…
Bruce stare at Kratos, He had underestimated him.. but he still believed he could win.
Kratos charged, holding his scimitar over his shoulder, he slashed diagonally at Bruce.
Bruce easy hit it to the side, and then slashed forward at Kratos! But he had already jumped out the way! Kratos charged again and again, each time with a different, single strike, and each time Bruce would parry it, but when he would counter attack… Kratos was already gone.. Bruce was getting very angry at this… Once again the two squared off…. But this time it was Bruce who charged! (something Jeremy had never seen him do [or me for that matter]) Even Kratos seemed surprised at this, but he charged as well.
They rushed toward each other. They both moved there swords to shrike! … DING…
In a instant they were stopped… Both with there backs to the other, swords held in front of them.. Kratos’ sword dropped to the ground... along with his hand! Suddenly Bruce was hit in the back with a large ball of ice!!!!! Bruce rolled down the hill, limp.
Kratos turn to Jeremy… He had a blue mist coming from his hand (or were a hand should have been). Kratos stretched out his armless hand and a ice spear form, one with a sharp point.. Jeremy drew the sword from off his back(the one i made with a blade and a pipe) They both charged at one anouther, Jeremy trusted his sword forward, and Kratos stabed his ice spike. They collided almost exactly the points.
Jeremy's sword pinitrated into the spike and got stuck!! Jeremy held onto his handle and slung Kratos around and tossed him. Then ran over by the tree and looked down the hill at Bruce. who was sitting up and rubing his head..
"RRAAHH!" Kratos yelled as he charged at Jeremy from behind. He stabed his ice spike hand (Jeremy's pipe sword still in it), Jeremy dodged to the side, grabed the frozen arm and slamed Kratos into the tree. Jeremy jumped back and grabed the sheath of the ninja sword i gave him,and stood ready.. Then he smiled as he noticed the look Bruce was giveing him from down the hill for stealing one of his moves.
Kratos stumbled to his feet in a rage.. "RRAAHHH!!" he yelled as he leaped up and staed down at Jeremy. Jeremy leaned back to dodge it, the Jumped up and steped on the ice spike, Bringing it crashing down and trowing Kratos off balance, and with Jeremy's large ass on his arm... there was no escape. Jeremy quickly unsheathed his sword and slashed straight across! The head of Kratos hit the ground and rolled out of the hood..
Just as Jeremy was done sheathing his sword, a blue mist like energy poured from Kratos's neck! It flowed right into Jeremy! Jeremy froze
(duh) he levitated off the ground a few inches.
"ohh oh ahhh!" Jeremy moaned as th blue energy flowed around him.. Jeremy fell to his knees, the energy absorbed into him... He looked at his hand it covered itself with ice! "Ahh!" Jeremy scramed. He made a fist and the ice cracked and vanished, he rose to his feet,breathing heavily with his hands on his knees. "HEH. HEH. HEH.." a voice laughed.. By this time Bruce hand made it back up the hill.
"HEH. HEH. HEH.." the voice repated, adding a little cough as if to make sure it had been heard.. It was the head of Kratos!!!
It stood of a body made of blue mist, and it's eye glowed with a unsettleing light. " what has happen to me!?!" Said Jeremy startled(i don't guess that fact a flowting head was in front of him had sunk in yet..) Kratos responed "I am a bounty hunter who killed the Guardion of the Elemental power of Ice, thus gaining his power.
Now that power rest within you. You must guard this power well, i may have sent to kill you by the Desions,, but i can't suffer such vermin to have my power.. A warning.. others will come.. with other powers.. be ready.." With this Kratos's head froze and fell to the ground, shattering.. "the Desions sent him?" said Jeremy
" Powers!!!" shouted Bruce "the rest will be mine!!"
Jeremy was still in relitive shock, he bent over to get his other sword that was still in the ice spike.. He couldn't pull it out!
Bruce looked and him and cliched his fist.. but in a calm manner he said " you have power over ice now... Just will it to split open and it will split open." Jeremy didn't question him.. he focused hard... slowly the ice began to crack and freed his sword. "That was hard.." Jeremy said.. " well you need practice.." Bruce said.. then mumbled something incoherant as he walked off. " were are you going?" Jeremy inquired. " Its late, I looking for a place to camp!" he yelled back..
Jeremy looked at his hand ... he opened his fist and there was a snow ball inside.. He thougth about it.. and it flowted above his hand for second, then he droped it...
He smiled to himself then follewed after Bruce..

Dragon

...........World Jumpers... Part 16.........
"How did i get talked into this!?!" i asked myself as i approahed the Dragon cave.. I had no weapons what so ever... only this one bag of magic powder... I remembered the old man from the village who gave it to me as i looked down at the sack at my side.~~~~~(this means flash back~~~) ~~~ "You must take this magic powder with you. To use it simply put some in your hand and chant the words ANI ZOT! and a bolt of magic energy shall fire in the direction you point your hand.(i had seen enough DBZ and hooky magic movies to get the idea) And remember to be careful, if you use too much at once it could be dangerous..." Said the old man. " I'll bare it in mind..." I said [^_-'] Anothor old man added. "In the cave you must go to there is both a sacrid sword and a ancient book of magic, the sword is yours to keep, but we require a spell from the book to ward away the goblins and other monsters.~~~
(end of flashback)
I had tryed the ANI ZOT a few times on the way, and even useing only alittle powder... IT WAS ALSOME!!! (and i never even say alsome) I crack a boulder with the stuff with only just alittle on my fingertips!..... Anyway... I found the Dragon cave.. It wasn't hard, Being the entrance looked like a giant Dragon head. ( i was hope that was where it got its name, cause no one mention anything about no Dragon!)
I cautiously entered the cave... It was dimly lite by the holes in the ceiling and the entrance... Plenty enough for me to see just fine.. The floor of the cave was surpriseingly smooth, almost like it the been melted or molded that way..
But the ceiling was covered with rocky spikes... really big spike i hoped wouldn't fall..
I could see the shadow of me from the entrace light showing on the cave floor... And i wasn't the only only one! The shadow of a imp showed right beside mine. i quicky turned around and a goblin ran at my with its spear, i went for my magic powder.. But i could losen the bag in time! The goblin stabed at me! I grabed the spear just below the point, stoping the attack, then i grabed with my other hand and slung the little Imp around me and into a rock spere on the ceiling! ... which cracked... I walked over and stabed the goblin with its spear.. then tossed to over a drop off, sending it thumbling deep into the earth.. CLUNK CRACK SLAC CRUURCK, the sound of the falling goblin echoed within the cave. DRUMP CRASH! The rock spike i had crack with the goblin fell to the floor. Wooff! the air in the cave seemed to stop move.. not a sound could be heard... Sudden the lite up! Silver Flames surrounded me on all sides! Then.. from the back of the cave, the image of a black dragon appeared in the flames! The dragon shadow appaered to open its mouth! A beam of silver flame flowed toward me! i jumped to the side and rolled out the way..I stoped on my knees and looked athe the Image in the flames.. Suddenly the flames parted and i could see the dragon in its entirety! It was a massive black Dragon with white shining eyes and red spikes along its back! I don't ever remember being so afraid! Bruce had always talked how he'd be able to kill a dragon and enjoy doing so, but i had allways secretly been frighten by the idea... Now i faced one.. the only true fear i had... A fire breathing beast.... I turn around hopeing to run away, but the excit was block by the wall of Silver Flames! I reached for my sword... but once again i had forgotten i didn't have one. I grabed some of the magic powder, twice as much as i had used on the boulder. ANI ZOT! I fired a bolt at the Dragon!..As ther bolt a pproch it didn't move.. it didn't even flinch! BOOM! I hit it! Smoke covered its shoulder, were i had hit it (.. it.. was far away...) The dragon snorted and the smoke cleared. Not even a sracth!!! The Dragon reared its head back, i grabed a whole hand full of magic powder! The dragon fired a Silver flameing energy ball at me! ANI ZOT! I lauched my attack straight at the Dragon's ebergy ball CRAA JIT CLIe! the two energys collided! They seemed to wage a battle of there own for a moment then.. BOOOM! Exploded! The force of which knocked me to the ground, but the dragon steadliy moved toward me. I grabed more magic dust. The dragon was getting close.. WOOFF! The Dragon lauched a wave of Silver flame At Me I jumped over it and high into the air, The the wave continued! I would fall back down into it! AHHH! ANI ZOT! I fired my energy down and the side , The force of the blast blew me away far enought to dodge the flames. I was running low on Magic powder.. ( why'd the old man give me so little.. so what if its rare and valvible...)
I took my last hand full. ANI ZOT! BOOM! "Direct hit" Right in the face. SNORT! the smoke from my blast cleared and the Dragon remained unharmed! I steped back.. then Dragon dreeped afther me, never blinking those glowing eyes.. I reached into the magic powder bag. "NO!" there was abarely enough to dust my plam.. I just knew i was doomed.. I looked up. and shouted my prayers! OH GOD HEL/... UP! the was a Giant rock spike directly above the Dragons head! ANI ZOT! I lauched the last od my powder! The spike fell and stabed in to the Dragons head!
" I DID IT/". BOOM! Silver Flames exploided from the Black Dragon! Riping me from the ground and trowing me to the ground.. All i could see as i fell was the Silver Flames Surrounding my body..
I awoke sometime later.. i was lieing on the cave floor.. There was no sign of the Dragon or the Silver flames... Just a fallen rock spike from the ceiling.. -"Had i hit my head on it?
Was there really a Dragon? How could there have been? Of those Silver flames had been around me i'd at least be burnt right?"-
There i stood, in the middle of the cave with not a sracth or burn on me... i was fine.. ( i and was ok too heh heh)
"Heh heh" i chuckled, i didn't even notice my magic powder bag was missing as i proceeded further into the cave...

Vajraken

...........World Jumpers....Part 17.......

"Ouuhh." i said rubing my head after sliding down a drob off in the cave.. I had been in the cave wandering around for awhile... I was thinking really hard on weiter there was a Dradon or not.. And also were the heck was this sword andbook i was suspose to be looking for. In a passage head of me i saw a light.. i enter csrefully... It was not very large a room.. a hole in the ceil shined straight down on.. a KATANA!! I ran over and picked it up. I held it over my head and looked at it.. Suddenly i remembered my old Katana.. I looked at the sword again.. i.. i couldn't belive my eyes.. it was my old sword! It had changed! My thoughts turned to my baby.. and again! suddenly i held my baby in my hands! the Sword could transform! ..I looked at the platform i had took the katan from, on it was a tablet explaining the swords power.. but i couldn't read it... All i could understand was the first word.. it was written very large.. "VAJRAKEN" I knew this word.. i knew vajra ment "indestructable supstance.. and Ken ment sword.. (in japanese) " Industructable sword!" and apparently it could change shape.. i let it stay in the form of my baby.. it was amazeing! it looked like my baby right down to the blood spot i rubed on it from when i had cut my hand!
I walked deeper into the cave looking for the book of magic.. i came to another chamber... in it were two sources of light shining from the ceiling,(holes)Straight down(was in noon or something?) on TWO BOOKS! no one told me anything about TWO BOOKS! One was on a pedistal of Gold, and the other was on a pedistal of Silver... I stood in front of them, looking back and froth at each one.. "Which one should i take? Should i grab both?" I had a felling in the back of my mind that this would not turn out well.. "It must be somekind of trap.." I stared at the book of the gold pedistal... It.. looked like a book of magic... I staredover at the one on the Silver pedistal, it looked just like the other one...I stared at the pedistals themselves.. I could see my reflection in the gold pedistal.. But in the silver pedistal my refection seemed.. strange,,, i lended in to look closer..
"ahh" i utter, shocked i was no longer on the ground.. i was falling! the Silver Flames! they surround me!! " ah AHHHH!" "wha.!?!" i was standing back in front of the silver pedistal.. I was sweating and breathing heavlily... "NO! not the silver" i said. I reached over and slowly lifted the Boook from the Gold pedistal.
TROOM! the Ground began to shake violently. "NO NO!" i quickly put back the book on the gold pedistal, hopeing that it would stop the shakeing.. but it didn't! I grabed the Book from the Pedistal of Silver as the shakeing grew more and more violent. " NO! stop. I have the SILVER!!" As i yelled this word the ground around my feet shined with a blinding light! Then the Silver flame sprang up from it and surounded me! The ground cracked! A red glow shined from deep within the earth out these cracks! The floor of the cave exploded! I could feel nothing, but i could see through thr flames, that i was flying up from the ground, the flames must have been melting a hole in the ceiling of the cave because i was going trough it but i didn't feel and rock hit me! What was happening! this seemed to be happening far to slow to be real, rock fell in slow motion, the red flames the exploded from the earth also moved as if hindered by time.. Slowly i could see i was flying far out the top of the cave.. i was in the sky!

I awake in a feild.. The sun was high in the sky.. I sat up.. the book was in my lap, and my baby, or rather the Vajraken was laying by my side.. I picked up the book.. i opened it. I quickly closed it. Suddenly thinking of how i had let down the people of that village. I held my hands on both sides of the book... " where am i going to put this...?" i asked myself.. Suuddenly, as if to answer the leather book transfromed! into a energy like substance and flowed around my hands! "AHH" i pulled an way my began to try and shake the stuff off... I stoped, looked at my hands.. The book had turned into leathe Guanlets! They even looked exactly like a pair i had thought up! On top of that a magic powder bag was in my hand... "Huh?" it had a image of a moon and star on it.. and it was full of powder.. so i tied it to my side. and picked up the Vajraken.. i stood up...
It was a bright and sunny day the grass was tall, my robe, hair and the grass too blew wildly in the wind. I looked around at the swaying trees and the Blue butterflies.." Which way should i go?" "caaw" crowed a bird flying over head.. as it flew toward the sun, against the blowing wind.. " That way it is."

........World Jumpers...Part 18........

Bruce sat under a large shade tree on top a hill. The in is blowing and i beautiful day... but Bruce dosen't care about that; If fact he could care less if the sky fell on him! He can hear Jeremy' laughing in the distance, All hes been doing the past few days was freeeze everything he came across, Jeremy didn't evn cre he had mad no progress in controlling his power... and he cared abot was he could make ice form and he had figured out how make snow balls! This Bruce hated the most as he was hit with a snow ball every yen minutes almost without fail.. In fact the only consructive thing Jeremy had learned to do with his powers was to make ice trong enough to block a sword, cover his fist...
Bruce had had quite enough of Jeremy's gloating..
"AAHHHH!" Bruce suddenly stood up and screamed! Jeremy responded by hiting him in the face with a snow ball..
"EEERRRR" Bruce grinded his teeth together.rather than do anything else he picked up his word and walked to the other side of the tree... He sat back down. In the ditance was a mountain. He leaned back into the tree and stared at it... Afther a moment he noticed Lightning comeing from the peak! Bruce jumped up.. "its a clear day, yet the is lightning on the mountain.. perhaps there is..." Bruce remember Kratos' warning of the others one with powere that would come for them. He turned round to tell Jeremy, but stoped... "Jeremy!" he said angrily to himself.
All Jeremy had been doing was rubing his powers in his face (literly) Bruce saw his chance to get back t him..."The power of lightning...if its on that mountin..Its mine.." Bruce ran blindly forward.. no one could have stoped him..
Jeremy was struggleing to get ice of his hands.. Afther pummleing the tree until the ice cracked, he ran afther Bruce..
Bruce had already reached the foot of the mountain.. It had a rocky face.. but Bruce didn't even stop tp climb he jumped from one ledge to anouther. "RRAAHH!" Bruce screamed as he jumped to a particualy high ledge. SNAP! on of the legs on his wooden sandles snaped off as they caught on the corner. "AAAHH" bruce grabed the corner of the rock with one hand. He looked down... he was much higher that he had realized.
he said goodbye to his hand made wooden sandles and kicked them off, watching them fall..
Far below one of these sandles was fastly approching Jeremy's head...
Meanwhile Bruce had reached the sumit, It was full of cave and bushes.. it was like a forest at the top. Suddenly Bruce had a feeling he was not alone.. He looked all around but saw no one or nothing.. .. OOCCHH! The sound of Jeremy's scream echoed up the mountain. Bruce turned around to look down..He could see jeremy laying on the ground.. he had a clear red outline of Bruce's sandle on his face.. Bruce turned abck around when he heard a giggle.. Bruce stood in awwl.. A naked women with long black hair stood near the entranc to a cave.... Bruce began to drull.. He slowly walked towards her.. Jeremy had been climbing the mountain quickly, he had made spikes of Ice, as he pulled his head over the top he could see the shadow of Bruce in the cave.. And the shadow of a obviously naked girl.. with wings and a tail!
Jeremy swung himself over the edge... And ran into the cave.."! BRUUUUCE!" he yelled , but Bruce didn't seem to here him... Bruce standing there is his underwear, stare at..! the once elureing naked girl was now on her knees in the corner of the cave, she had not only wings and a tail.., but horns! and her feet looked like eagle claws.. (still pretty elureing to them)

siren...


what fantasy creature are you...
brought to you by Quizilla
"A SIREN!"Jeremy screamed. " mustn't look." Jeremy cover his eyes, but still found himself looking trought the cracks of his fingers. "Booby" he said as he lowered his hands and stared. Now he and Bruce hand the same blank drulling experession on there faces.. As Jeremy stood there stareing at the Sirens.."booby" his..lower body began to freeze over with ice! "ca.. ca... COLD!" He sreamed as he snaped out of the trance. He ran over over to Bruce and shuck him. "WAKE UP!!" "AAHH!" Bruce scream and shuck his head,,, shakeing drull all over Jeremy's face,, "Put your clothes on, lets go!" Bruce grbed the clothes around his ankles, pulled them up, put on his sleves, tuged his blt ,and poof, he was dress. He grbed his word and dashed out the cave afther Jeremy. "aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh" called the Siren in a ear periceingly high voice.
"AAaahh" "aaaaHHH" "aaAhH" AAAHHHHhh" Other Sirens called back from atop the mountain. They could see the the shadows of the sirens flying above them on the ground as the excited the Cave. They swooped down at them. Bruce Drew his sword as one approched him, he jumped and rolled out the way. Jeremy was trowing snowball afther snowball at the Sirens.. This was keeping. "rrraaahh" came a siren call from behind Bruce, it was comeing at hime with its clawed feet. Bruce quickly turned around and cut straight forward as he ducked.. He got her right between the legs.. Even Jeremy cringed as he saw the blade come out of the crack of her butt as he was stareing at it.. "Let one through!" Bruce called to Jeremy! Jeremy looked over at Bruce confused. Bruce pointed down the Mountain. "we have to get down." Jeremy just noded still not understanded what Bruce had planed. Bruce and Jeremy stood side by side as a Siren approched them from above, The jumped to opposite side, Bruce jumped up and grabed onto the Siren's leg. "AAAAHH!" Bruce screamed as the Siren began to fly upward with him holding on! "Grab here Jeremy!" Bruce yelled "Dooohhh!" Jeremy moaned. He Jumped up and grbed her bird like legs.
With Jeremy's added weight the Siren Quickly begain to fall toward the ground! Down the Moutain they went. As they grew cloe to the ground.." 1 2 3!" they jerked on the Sirens legs and slung her down to the ground, Bruce landed in on her, Then quickly jumped up afther realing what his hands were on.. They looked up, they could hear the faint calls of the Sirens but none of them hand tried to follow them.. Jeremy grabed the motionless Siren and Froze her! Jeremy yelled to Bruce " Let me see the scouter Bruce tossed it over his shoulder without turning to look at him.. There was a flash of light behind him, Bruce turned around.. and the Siren was gone.. and Jeremy was just standing there fiddleing with the scouter.. "Were is.." Before he could finish his sentince a large shadow passed over them, They looked up.. It was a Black Dragon flying past themm.. it had a rider...
"A.. A DESION!!"

Reunion

.......World Jumpers..... Part 19

The cersent mooon shown bright in the night sky.. The star sparkled and countless constilation where easily made out. Bruce and Jeremy creeped along the out side of the thicket, dashing from tree to tree.. "The Desion's dragon landed near here." Whispered Bruce..." I know... i can see the camp fire.." Jeremy said considedly at Bruce. The peared through some bushes, "Look! there is the Desion" Bruce excalmed.."It's a girl!!" Said Jeremy excited.
"How can you tell from here?" "ohh.. trust me, i would know.." Jeremy said with a smile.
And sure enough as they quietly approah the camp, there, bending over and looking through a bag was the clear legs, and err.. Figure of a girl. She wore thight boot that came to her knees. Bruce gasped. She was wearing a purple thong!. She suddenly turned around, Now they could see she was wearing a helmet that covered her eyes and top of her head, but left her face from the nose down expose, shoulder pads and guantlets, and a breast plate.. the left the top of the breast showing and covered the rest and her stomach. also the front of the thong was plated...
Bruce leaped out of the bushes and charge at the girl with out warning. The girl quickly grabe a broad tiped spear, but she was too late to use it , as Bruce already had his sword drawn and was in the air with his sword over his head.
"AAHHH!" he screamed as he began to swing down his sword. DING! Bruce stood amazed, Jeremy stood in front of him blocking his strike with his sword.. "What are you doing Jeremy!?!"
"YOU IDIOT!" Jeremy yelled at him. "Can't you see! It's Senia!" Jeremy said glareing at Bruce.
"what?.. no.. it can't be.." Jeremy pushed bruce to the ground. Then steped to the side.. Senia had removed her helmt and was simleing at them..
Afther inquireing about how She managed to squeeze into that metal tank top... Bruce asked.." Was that you rideing that black dragon?" Senia had a very surprised look on her face for amoment, then replied " Dra.. Dragon? what dragon?" "Never mind that!" Said Jeremy "What are you doing out here?".. Senia hesitantly replied." I was looking for you guys.." The Desion Scaner i got can detect when portals opens, so i.." How did you know it was us?" Brue interrupted "well.. no Desion would have appeared where you did.. and if it was Desions.. it would have said so."Jeremy look puzzled. "if you knew where we were why didn't you come find us sooner?" he asked "..umm.. well my scaner only showed were your portal opened.. it's not able to track your advansed Scouter".. " I see." Said Jeremy as he was eyeing Seina. "EMANUEL!" Bruce suddenly yelled.
"Where!?" Jeremy looked around. "Yoa ..Your scaner! did it tell you where he is!?!" Bruce stumble over his own words.. Senia starede at the ground.." yes... my scaner did detect him... but.. When i went to look for him... all i found was the ruins of a village near a exploded mountain..." Jeremy started to say something but fell silent. Bruce's Voice was shakeing as he asked. " So he.." "I don't know." Senia interrupted, knowing what the question was. Jeremy put his hand on Bruce shoulder. " I'm sure he's fine." Then he walked over to the fire. He stood next to the blazeing camp fire, stareing into the flames. Without takeing his eyes from the fire." Senia, this may not be the time, but why did you abandon us in the first place?" "I DIDN'T ABANDON YOU!.... I just .. i had to.." Bruce looked up and glared at Senia, he had almost forgot she had left while they were saveing Jeremy from the Desion base. "That right! if something has happened to Emanuel its your fault! if yuo hadn't abandoned us.." "I belive it was You how pressed that emerency button so many times." Jeremy said cuting him off. " Regaurdless, We've found her now.. Chances are well hear about Emanuel and some trouble he has gotton into soon enough.. But Senia, we can't allow you to leave us again, We can't go home til this is all resolved, and we don't even know what we've gotton into yet so it may take awhile, understand? Jeremy said, his eyes still fixed on the flames. " I.. i understand... I just wanted to see my home.. and i wanted to give you guys the chance to back out and go home.." "And?...did you make it home?" Jeremy said. "I did.. I.. went there.. but." She stoped. Bruce looked at Senia.. "So why come looking for us?" Senia's eyes suddenly bulged, she stared at the ground without blinking.."because... because.. i had no where else to go!" she said tearing up. "But Senia..Your..." Bruce stoped.. he didn't wanna here the answer.. Jeremy still stared at the fire, he didn't wanna inqure about Senia's home either. "So where do we go from here?" Jeremy asked the fire, Senia anwered. "I saw the Desions on the way here, they were searching the canyon for, something... we could start there.." Jeremy took off his words and sit them on the ground the sat down. "Tommorrow" he said puting his hands behind his head and laying back. He looked at the stars and thought to himself, - Emanuel, where are you? -


The Dying World ( Part 1 )

........World Jumpers......Part 20.......

It was a beautiful, sunny day.. the grass was tall and bright and the trees waved in the refreashing wind... I had just cooked a fish i had caught and was enjoying it under a shade tree. However there was a foul smell in the air..
(and it wasn't my cooking)
I had only walked a few miles from the hill i awoke on, i was approahing a small moutain... Perhaps it was more like a large steep hill.. I heard thundering foot steps approching me, I ran to a nearby tree, jumped up and grabed a branch and swung myself into the thick of the tree. The Thunderind foots grew close, they where coming up the hill. "Horses?" I wonder, but it wasn't a horse at all, As the head emerged into veiw i saw it for what is was, a Breaker... It was running from some thing, i had many small puncture wounds; And this Breaker wasn't wild, it still had some of its torn harness around its horned head. "A Desion Breaker!" But where was the Desion? I jumped down from the tree, looking back i could see the Breaker slow disipearing in the distance. "What could have such a beast so afraid?" i asked myself. then i proceeded in the direction it had came from, hopeing i wouldn't find out.
As i approched the rocky hill I came across the ruins of a camp, and the Smell of roiting flesh. As i proceeded further into the site, i found the source of the smell, There impaled on a wooden spike, was the body of a man. Holding my nose i moved in for a closer look, I could not beleive what i saw, the strange armor, the half helmet, It was a Desion!! "How!" I thought the Desion couldn't be killed, and if something happened to where the would be kill, they'd simply disapear and be healed somewhere... But this desion had be here for weeks, it was roiting, Its flesh was falling of from where some animal had been picking at it. How could this happen? I picked up the Desion's helmet that laid on the ground nearby, I was Shocked! I had meet this Desion! I recognized the dent in the helmet, the visor had been replaced but this was the Desion that was pursueing Senia!
I had defeated him, but something had killed him... I stared at the corpes, the spike was prutruding through his chest. something wasn't right, something just didn't fit, something...Was Missing! The Desion's Warp Devise wasn't on his side! His whole belt was gone. Did someone take it?
I turned and looked around me; I noticed several skeletons and bones laying around. "Have those alway's been there..?" "Something is not right." I drew Vajraken, I slowly triweled around; i was surouned by Skeletons, they were standing, some of them had weapons. "What do you want?" i said not really expecting a reply, and i didn't get one, but i got an answer, a skeleton behind me sturk at me with his rusty sword, i twirled around and knost the blade to my side, the skeleton over extended its thrust and stumbled in front of me, I raised Vajraken and slash down the Seleton, smashing through its bone, spine and ribs, all the way through. Before the peices of the sword weilding skelenton hit even hit the ground, a Spear from another skeleton stabed toward my back, i quickly turn and hit my sword just behing the blade of the spear, holdong it in front of me then grabed it with my off hand, i swung my blade under the spear and broke the Skeleton in half. I droped the spear and turned around, Three skeleton remain, One fire arrow and me! I hit the side of it with the flat of my swor as i jumped to the side. I reached into my powder bag, "ANI ZOT!" The Bow skeleton exploded into dust in the magic blast.
The two remaining skeleton, each haveing rusty swrd came at me, i moved closer to the one to my left where as not to be attacked by both of them at once. The one on the left thrust his sword forward with it left arm, I perry with my sword to were my blade pointed to th ground, then slashed unward, cuting through the ribs to the shoulder; Meanwhile the other skeleton charged froward, thrusting his rusty blade at me with both of his bonely arms, i turned to the side and jumped back while drawing in my stomach, the skeleton's sword passed me by, I grabed my sword with both hands and thurted it straight out and toward the skeleton, The skeleton's head flew into the air.
I stood there a moment with my sword extended in front of me, then lowered it and stood up straight. -clink clink- I couls hear the sound of slowly approching armored foot steps echoing from a small cave in the rocky hill. Soon, emergeing from the cave was a large skeleton in black armor, weilding a Halburg, (like a spear with axe at the end)It wore the Desion's belt and warp devise, "wow, now it looks like i can't kill a dead skeleton."
I sheathed my sword and took out some magic powder, i hesistated, i knew if i used too much the Desion device could activate and I wasn't sure what it would do for a skeleton. Besides, i wanted that device for myself. I didn't have enough time to thing of a good plan, the Armored Skeleton took halburg and began spining it in front of him, faster and faster, dust began to blow in my face, then small rocks, the wind continued increaseing, . "ANI ZOT" I fired a magic blast into the circleing wind, the ball of magic energy shook violently as its approch was hinder by the skeleton's wind, Just as my blast had almost reach the halburg, the Skeleton suddenly Doubled the speed of the spining! I was sent flying backwards in the center of a cyclone of wind My own blast was speeding towards me! I crossed my arms in front of me while i was still zooming back, The blast collided with my forearm and exploded! I hit the ground and slide in the dirt. I raised up to my hand and knees, i looked down at my hands with my hair hanging over my face.. besides pushing me back faster, my blast had not hurt me; i looked at the leather Guantlets on mt hand made from the Book Of Magic, There was not a scrach on them.
I rose to my feet; i filled both my hands with magic powder, the Skeleto resumed spining his weapon. i ran forward before he could build up too much speed, "ANI ZOT!!" I fire both blast at the ground in front of my as i jumped, launching me into the air, above the cyclone, flying toward the Armored Skeleton. I punched down at the skeleton, toward the halburg and the belt, I was almost at a pause in midair with the wind blowing against me as i flew lower again. My fist seemed to flash when it hit the halburg, it broke it in two! The sudden chnage in balance sent the two peices flying in opposite dirction, ripping the skeleton arms from his shoulders. I opened my fist and grabed the Desion belt, ripped it off and tossed it behind me; then i reached over a grasped the hilt of Vajraken, i slashed upward and i unsheathed it -SHEEEIIK- The blade screeched as it sliced through the skeleton, armor and all.
After i sheathed my sword i picked up the Desion's warping device, As i suspected the last place it said it had warped to was my world..
I pressed the largest button and light surrounded me. When i could see again i was standing in Bruce's yard.. But something wasn't right.. The color.. everything was yellow or grey, A bird flying over head did not flab its' wings or move it head, it just hung there.
"...noo oo..!"

The Dying World (Part 2)

....... World Jumpers..... Part 21.....

Nothing stirred, no creature breathed, the wind didn’t blow, and the sun never moved.
Besides the dim yellow and gray colorings, the world was just as It was the instant we had left it, I walked the miles from Bruce’s house to my own, Cars and the people in the stood still, The little bit of rain that was falling in midtown hung in the air like a curtain.
I arrive at what was once my house, everyone was there… but nobody was home…
My Sister was frozen in my room, looking through my dresser, My brother was exactly were he had been when I had left for Bruce’s that morning, in front of the mirror.. Guy was looking for Aliens of the computer, and mama had buried herself within the bed.
I stepped out into my yard, The grass shined bright gold, so did the leaves on the tree, The sun had been baring down on them since the day I left. It was amazing to see, but I could find no comfort in it. I Just kept think what everyone else must be doing, it had been Saturday when I left, Laura would be likely be in bed, and now she’d stay there forever, “heh heh” I kinda laughed to myself when I thought that maybe that’s what she’d want…

- beep beep beep beep beep- “WHAT!?!” Jeremy yelled as he jolted up, having been awoke from his sleep by the sudden loud alarm. Senia sprung up, Bruce rolled over and grunted. “ It’s my Scanner!!” "What's it mean?"
Jeremy asked startled. "It's the alarm i set to tell me when a Desion warp devise was used!"Senia said excited. "Why do that? won't it just go off all the time?" Jeremy was now annoy for geting himself worked up. "No... it doesn't go off if a tower is used, of a Desion scouts device." "So whats that mean?" Bruce said rolling over to face her. " I'll look... ! oh my... it says someone has just warped to Your world!" "HUH!" Bruce and Jeremy looked at each other, Jeremy srabled to his feet and grabed his swords then put them on.. bruce was already ready and was pushing buttons on the scaner. "OH NO YOU DON'T" Jeremy took the Scouter from Bruce, Remembering what happen last time. Senia, still in her Desion outfit,[all but the helmet] picked up her spear. Jeremy paused, he looked at Bruce and Senia. they both noded. Jeremy pushed the button, and they steped into the light door.
They almost couldn't tell that they had arrived .. The ground shine almost as bright as the gateway... Bruce and Jeremy looked around, shocked and have no idea what they were looking at. " OH noo" Senia said almost with out sound.. Bruce notice her expression.. and wonder -"Does she know something..?"-

I walked aimlessly through town, I didn't see what was ahead of me, i didn't hear myself breathing or my foot steps on the pavement, all i could see was in my mind, At first, i was determined, i had to find a way to change my world back to the way it was,and i saw silver and black.. Then.. i grew deeply depressed, knowing there was nothing i could do as it stood..and i saw only grey.. Then i was filled with a violent rage! I was going to Destroy! all those responsible.! And before my eyes was crimson abyse.. I ran forward in a rage! In the crimson sea before for my eyes i made out a stone pillar. "RRAAAHHHHHRRR!" I slahed my hand across the pillar as if i was a clawed beast!
I looked at my hand, I looked from my for my blood finger tips and broken nails... but.. my hand was fine.. i hadn't a scrach on it that wasn't there before.. Without looking at it i slashed my hand backwards at the pillar to make sure i hit it this time. I felt my fingers go through something that felt like a thing paste, I turned around.. My hand!.. my hand was on Fire! Silver and black flames engulfed my hand! .. But it did not hurt or burn. I flexed my fingers to pop them and the flames went away.. i knew i should be surprised but for some reason i didn't fell like it.. i looked at the pillar.. two sets of mark, my burning fingers, they had melted and cut the stone. leaveing the marks of my fingers..
I flexed my hand in as many ways i could think of.. and slashed into the air.. but the flames did not return... i thought abd thought,, -how do i summon the silver flames.. may be.. words!-
i remember my magic powder, words sommoned its power.. i extended my hand.. "Silver flame!!" i shouted, Silver flames appeared in a ball in my hand and began draing energy from my body as if it was about to explode or blast off! "NO!' i closed my hand then drew my fist close to me. I focused, trying to imagine the energy flowing back into me.. it seemed to work .
I breathed heavily.. I tried swinging my hand and saying words.. "Silver strike!"..nothing.. "Silver slash!".. nope,, "Silver ...-


Brue, Jeremy and Senia followed the obvious trail of however warped to this world, The foot steps letf dust hanging in the air where ever he had steped .. so it wasn't hard to follow..
"What are we gonna do when we find this person?" asked Senia " You're the one who set the alarm... You shouldn't have to asked that." Jeremy said, without looking over at her.
" I did it to find you guys..." Senia replyeed putting her head down. " I could be Emanuel..." Bruce said hesitantly.... This is the direction of his house.." " Prehaps so... but we should still be cautious." Bruce looked over at Jeremy confused.." whats gotton in to you? you are acting so serious and cold, its not like you.?" " Jeremy didn't answer... he just looked up at the grey sky. -If Emanuel was here.. he could play the tough guy...-
Everyones thoughts turned to Emanuel. -Senia looked down at the ground.. Senia thought to herself -These to seemed to be much more relaxed when Emanuel was around- Bruce crossed his arms and kept his eyes on the ground in front of him. -What will i do if we do find him, I've missed him but it'll sound weird for me to just say that.. Jeremy will probally say "I love you man" and hug him or something stupid like that... i have to get my greeting dignified..- Jeremy smiled -In that thong, Senia's butt really shines in all this light-
Bruce Suddednly stoped dead in his tracks, and helded out his arm to stope everyone else. "What's wrong?" Senia asked consered. " I since someone near by, someone very powerful." Bruce said darting his eyes in every direction. "uggh.. not this again Bruce!" Jeremy said annoyed.. " I was right last time wasn't i...?" Bruce snickered.. "eerrr" Jeremy growled to himself, then grew silent.. " I see em.." Jeremy said... disipoint that he was wrong and Bruce was right...
High, on top of the water tower stood a Blacked cloaked man, his cloaked cover his whole body, he wore no hood, but he had a piece of black cloth tied around his mouth..

..............World Jumpers...Part 22.........

Bruce grabed the sheath of his sword and stood ready to draw his blade. Jeremy steped inf front of Bruce " Who are you!?!" Throughing back his fist and leaning slightly forward as he yelled. The masked figure did not answer, he simply drew out a katana from within his cloak. Jeremy decided to make the first move, iching to use his ice powers in battle. he created a large ice spike and used his powers to propel it toward the Masked swordsman. the warrior didn't flinch. he ran forward and jumped off the water tower, he steped off the large ice spike, jumped and rolled onto and nearby building below the tower.(Movie Star)
The masked warrior paused on one knee, with his word extended on his side, and glared at Bruce and Jeremy through his dark hair the hung below his eyebrows.
Bruce grabbed the sheath of his sword and stood ready to draw his blade. Jeremy stepped in front of Bruce " Who are you!?!" Throwing back his fist and leaning slightly forward as he yelled.

The masked warrior paused on one knee, with his word extended on his side, and glared at Bruce and Jeremy through his dark hair the hung below his eyebrows.
Jeremy dashed at the masked warrior in a rage; he leaped onto the top of the building, this shocked Bruce, how had never seen him run so fast must less jump so high! Jeremy drew the ninja sword on his side and tossed it at the cloaked warrior while still dashing toward him. The warrior swatted it blade away as it flew toward his thigh. Jeremy ripped the sword from his back, swung it over his left shoulder with his right hand and slash across, down at the warrior’s left side. The warrior raised his right hand and katana to defend his left shoulder and locked Jeremy’s sword between his hand guard and his blade. Jeremy growled and form3d a ice spike around his left hand plunged it towards the cloaked warrior’s gut, Jeremy ice hand stopped dead just before the point reached the warrior’s chest; The masked swordsman’s left hand was clasped around Jeremy’s wrist.

The two warriors stood face to face, the black cloaked swordsman had his arms crossed both restraining one of Jeremy’s attacks. Jeremy began to focus on his ice cover hand, slowly making it bigger. The tip poked the Warriors stomach; He immediately leaned back and pulled on Jeremy’s arms, then tossed him into the air! Right over his head. The shocked Jeremy was still rising upward when the cloaked swordsman dashed off toward Bruce and Senia. Bruce still stood with one hand griping the sheath of his sword, and the other hovering just above its handle.
As the Warrior approached Bruce drew out his blade and slashed across at the masked warrior. The warrior never stopped running at him, he jumped into the air, stepped out Bruce’s sword and jumped over him. Senia Gasped as he hovered above her, with his sword stretched out in one hand, he rose the other to his masked mouth and quickly pulled it down, smiled and winked at Senia and sheathed sheath his sword as he landed.
Bruce ran forward and stabbed at the arrogant swordsman, The warrior turned around and slapped Bruce’s blade with his cloak, and Bruce’s sword vanished in the dark robe’ in an instant Bruce found himself with his own bladed pointed at his thoat.

The Dying world (Part 4)
........World Jumpers.....Part 22.5

Bruce looked into the dark brown eyes of the masked warrior, and suddenly he no longer felt afraid, any thought that he was going to die now left his mind. Bruse suddenly jerked his head back then swung up and knock the blade away. In bruce's hand, held in stabing position was a short black ninja sword. The cloaked warrior charge at Bruce, waited untill he got close the lunged forward at him,... The to warriors stood still, backs to one another, The masked warrior stood leaning forward with his (Bruce's) sword held down by his side, Bruce stood with one leg extended in front of him, still holding the small sword in stabing position up by his shoulder. One layer of Bruce's belt sever and it unraviled, droping his sword sheaths to the ground.. The was a cut on th masked warrior's cloak, on the shoulder near the neck. The warrior reached up and riped the cloak of and tossed it to the side, Reveling a light blue robe and worn out jeans as he turned to Bruce. Bruce seemed shocked! "..y.. YOU!..." "AARRHHH" Jeremy roared as he as he leaped down toward the masked warrior, he held his sword high above his head and the swung it down at the warrior like a hammer! " S.l.v.r.. G.ar. ." The warrior yelled, his words muffled by the masked. Suddenly the warriors right hand was aflame with fire os Silver and black, he grabed hold of jeremy sword at the base! Jeremy's eye grew wide with shock as his attack was stoped. The masked warrior plunged the hilt of Bruce's sword into Jeremy's gut, then twisted around and hit him in the back of the head with the reverse side of the blade. Jeremy droped to his knees, then fell on his face. Bruce and the masked warrior stared into glared at one anouther. The warror spun Bruce's sword around in his hand, the tossed it at Bruce.
Bruce didn't move, the sword stuck into the ground near his feet. The warrior jumped back, pulled something frome his side, then said something bruce could not make out and trew it! the grounded exploded where it hit, there was a flash, and the warrior was gone..

The warrior steped out of the light door into a thicket, It was night, the moon and stars shined brightly in the sky, showing trough the gap in the tree tops. The warrior romoved his mask.....
" They've grown strong without me, I'll let them reliy on themselves awhile longer..."

Foolishness
.............. World Jumpers... Part 23..........


Jeremy awoke to Bruce poking him with a stick. "Uugghh," Jeremy moaned as he sat up and rubbed his head. "What happened?" Jermey asked, rubbing his eyes. "You got your large ass whooped!" Bruce said walking off. Jeremy opened his eyes and saw the bushes around him, it was night, it was cloudy and not a star shone. Senia was over by the fire burning what she called dinner. "Where are we?" Jeremy asked a little dazed. "We're back in Senia's world." Bruce said from behind a bush. "Who was that masked guy?" Jeremy asked. "I..." Bruce was interrupted when Senia spilled her pot of boiling food-like substance. "Uhhh.... oops? ...Uh bread and cheese anyone...?"

Bruce and Jeremy looked at each other and rolled their eyes and rolled over and went to sleep.

Bruce awoke the next morning to find Jeremy gone, which he found peticularly odd being Senia was walking around in a towel. "Have you seen Jeremy?" Bruce inquired. "Well, he left this morning and said, 'I need to go clear my head.', I asked him if he needed to borrow my razor, but he said no." "I see," Bruce said, restraining his giggle. "Did you see which way he went?" "East... I guess." Senia said, sounding unsure. "But that's the direction of the canyon where the Desions where at!" "Yep," Senia said. "Oh, okay then... We'll have some breakfast then I guess we'll go look for him." Bruce said unconcerned.

Bruce left Senia at the campsite hoping she could improve her cooking skills before he returned and arrived at the canyon hoping for a good fight to make him forget the horrible taste still lingering in his mouth from breakfast. But rather than a battlefield, Bruce arrived at what looked more like a wax museaum. Entire Desions and various assorted body parts lay frozen and scattered about the rock-face. Jeremy sat leaning against a rock in front of a fire were a rabbit/squirrel-like rodent roasted above the flames. Without saying a word Bruce sat by the fire next to Jeremy. "What were the Desions doing here?" he asked Jeremy his eyes fixed on the rodent. There was a long pause. "I... ummm... neglected to ask." "I see," said Bruce as he silently cursed Jeremy's foolishness. No longer able to resist the rodent, Bruce lept up and ran off with it, Jeremy shouting curses and hurling snow balls.

Senia arrived later to find Bruce picking his teeth with rodent bones and Jeremy diving after more delectiable vermin. Without a word to either of them, Senia began to examine the frozen Desion corpses.

........World Jumpers.....Part 24........


Alarm

...........World Jumpers..... Part 25.......

Jeremy stared into the flames of the campfire, the reflection of the flames could be seen in his eyes. Bruce was laying on his side on the other side of the fire amd Senia ruffled trough some materials she had in front of her.. " Something on your mind?" asked Bruce to Jeremy as poked at the fire with a small twig.."... that.... he had to be... i know../! hmm wha? Jeremy said, finally realizeing Bruce had spoken to him. " What are you over there thinkin about so hard?" Bruce repeated. " uhh.. i was.. umm just.. wondering what the Desions were up to around here.." " -You could have tried asking-" Bruce mubbled to himself. " They looked like a search party." Senia said looking around. The ice covered Desion bodies sparked from in the distance, reflecting the fire's light. "But what were they searching for?" Bruce asked. " Us perhaps, or maybe some kind of speacial metal, i did see chunks of a gold colored metal around." Said Jeremy. " It's likely they simply come across that, they didn't look like miners to me." said Bruce. " I belive Bruce is right." Senia said, giveing a almost mocking look to Jeremy. _BEEP... BEEP... BEEP- A repeditive alarm noise and a blinking light came from a Desion's scaner. -BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP- The sound became cotinueous as all the Desion scaner alarms sounded! Bruce and Jeremy sprang to there feet, the blinking lights were all around them, the there and a blinding flash of light from every direction, Everyone raised there arms and covered there eyes!"DAAAHHH!" " Huh?" "huh..?" They opened there eyes. " There... gone...?" Bruce said puzzled. The Desion corpes had vanished. Jeremy said "They always warp away when there defeated."... ".. Then.. Why did it take so long?" " I guess the needed to thaw out some..." " If thats true why would the alarm sound before they warp? would they just vanish as soon as it thawed enough?" "Bruce is right, The alams weren't caused by they being defeated, and if they were going to auto warp they'd have done before now." Senia said " So the alarm triggered the warp?" Jeremy said, acting as though he had figured it out. " I would assume." replied Bruce. "So what triggered the alarms?" There no way we can know that, and we won't find out here." Jeremy said, sating back down and stareing at the fire again. "well.. why didn't your scanner go off nad warp you too Senia? It the sam kind right?" It is, but i have turned it off..." Senia said slowly. " WHY!?" Bruce asked. " Because i asked her to.." Jeremy said. " Because i did wanna go back to that... Lifeless world again until we can fix it..." Jeremy said "- and also because of ... him...- He thought to himself.


Devstation

.....World Jumpers...Part 25......

Senia remained silent, Bruce and Jeremy spoke no more about there dying world, they sat around the campfire silent. Senia stirred a steaming pasty substance, Bruce and Jeremy sat on opposite sides of the fire, staring blankly into the flames. “What do we do now?” Bruce asked, breaking the silence, without changing his blank expression. “We’ll defeat the Desions.” Jeremy said glancing at Bruce through the flames. “It won’t be that simple… we have no plan, we haven’t the power to defeat them all...” Bruce said looking even deeper into the fire. “But Jeremy defeated all toughs Desion just a little while ago ...” Those weren’t warriors….” Jeremy said, almost as if he was ashamed of himself…
“We’ve only fought grunts, there is surely a more advance Elite group of Desion… not only that… the Desions control powerful monsters.” “What?” Senia looked confused “how do you know…” “In the first town we went to, when Jeremy got capture… A monster was warped with the Marble tower right in front of us. Emanuel and I fought it,
You weren’t far away… you didn’t see it? “… I… must have been putting on these Desion clothes….” “That was after…” Bruce said, finally changing his expression to look up at Senia. “Well… I must have been … hiding in the Inn.” “Hmm” Bruce said nothing more about it and turned back to the fire. “So… what shall we do now “Kijimbo”.” Jeremy asked directing it at Bruce. “Heh” Bruce snickered at the use of his nickname Emanuel had given him, but still had a blank expression in his eyes…
“ We should look for Emanuel… we would be much of Heroes if we abandoned our best friend…” Jeremy’s expression changed suddenly. “ We have just as much chance of finding him as we do beating the Desions, besides.. I’m sure he’ll find us… sooner or later… we should try and find more information on the Desion so we can make a plan against them, its likely we find clues on Emanuel’s where bouts along the way.”
“ Then lets go back to the Desion world.” Senia said almost excitedly. “That’s were there from so it should be easier to find information on them, besides... it safer since the Desions are more active here then there.” “ How do you figure that?” Bruce asked as if annoyed. “ There is not much use from occupation forces on ones home world.” Jeremy added before Senia could react, wanting to quill Bruce’s questions.
“… Ok then! We’ll Leave in two days!” Senia saidenthused , then stood up and walked away. “ Why two days?” Bruce asked
Senia paused and looked over her shoulder… “ To give time for Jeremy’s powers to replenish.” She turned her head and continued walking away.

Jeremy stared at her as she vanished into the night. “- how did she know I need time to…-“

Devistation

......World Jumpers.... Part 27...Continued

TRAOOM! The sound of a rock moutain explodeing and the peices crashing into the earth thundered in the distance, awakening Bruce, Jeremy, and Senia in the late hours in the morning. Bruce trew the blanket off him reached to one side then rolled to the other all in a instant, he was on one knee with his sword held down on his right side. "What was that?!" Bruce shouted, placeing his hand hovering over the handle just above the hilt of his sword.
Jeremy, who was laying on his stomach, opened one eye, looked around, then yawned as he twiched his large nose. he pulled his blanket back over him and closed his eye. Bruce noticed Senia holding a blanket over her chest, she looked up at him and said, "I can't find my clothes!" "-Oh my-" Bruce thought to himself, "Jeremy get/..." he turn to tell Jeremy to get up, but he was already standing beside him, holding his sheathed sword in hand, with the sheath leaning over his shoulder. He had a disturpingly large grin on his face as he stared at Senia.

After Senia was dressed and Jeremy regained the ability to put together syllables, Bruce asked Senia if she knew what the thudering sound was, Jeremy asked her what she had been doing with her clothes off; but she ignored him and answered Bruce. "The mountain crumbled..." Senia said, turing to the cloud of dust above the broken mountain. "What could cause something like that?!" Jeremy said, surprized at what he heard. "..A dangerous power to be sure..." Senia said " but we need not be conserned at the moment, we should just go ahead and go to the Desion World." .." a great power." Bruce said to himself, under his breath.. " what Bruce?" asked Jeremy seeing the look in the eyes and the grin on Bruce's face.. "lets check it out.." Bruce slide the sheath of his trough his belt, then tugged and tightened his coat as he began toward the fallen mountain. "Wait!" said Senia. "It could be dangerous, we should leave it be, anything that could have done that must be powerful, even if Jeremy's power was at its max, we might not be able to stand against it." " How do we know it wasn't just a rockslide, or a bomb or a volcano..? You are just jumping to conclusions.... unless you know something your not telling us..?" Jeremy said, fixing his gaze on Senia. " no.. i.." Seina was interrupted by Bruce, but it could be something important, it would be a waste to go to the Desion world, were we have no leads and pass up something like this right in front of us!"
Jeremy nodded, Senia objected no more and remained silent and alert as they followed Bruce toward the cloud of dust the enshadowed the eastern sky..

By the time the group neared feild of mountain chucks the cloud of dust had almost settled.
There seemed to be no sign of a monsterous force that caused the mountain to crumble...
CRRIIEECK! "WHA!?!" bruce suddenly turned his head to his left, a large crackin the earth zoomed toward him like a speeding serpent. With his right hand around the sword sheath at his side, he leaped backwards just as the end of the crack reached his feet. The ground beneath his feet exploded, sending the a large chuck of soild earth breaking off and lauching upward catching Bruce in midair! Bruce was carried upward by the rock! then, as the rock began to fall back toward the earth, it began to rotate!
Bruce ran several steps forward keeping up with the twisting chunk of earth. When he got to a flat side at the highest point of the rock, He paused, bent his legs then kicked off the rock with all his might as he jumped backwards, sending the chunk of earth speeding away and crashing into the ground...
Bruce landed with is hand still on his sword sheath. "Is everyone ok? What was that?"
Bruce heard no answer. he turn his head to see if Jeremy and Senia were both alright, Jeremy had apparently dove safely out of the way, he was laying face first on the ground, with his hands over his head. Senia was further back, standing straight up, as if not startled, she had a serious look on her face as see moved her eye , looking in all direction without moveing her head or any other part of her body.
" You can get up now.." Bruce snickered at Jeremy. "NaOh! NOhT YeETa" Jeremy's refuseal was muffled by his arms tightly covering his head. Bruce stood still and confused for a moment try to figure out his meaning. -bounk!
A rock sudden hit Bruce's head form above, followed by another, and another... soon a shower of stone fell from the sky as the smaller rock from the explotion finally return to the earth. Bruce stood rubing his head as Jeremy rose from the ground laughing. "Ha! told ya!" Jeremy stood there, waiting for bruces predictable groaning response... but in never came. Jeremy stoped laughing and looked around, both Bruce and Senia, stood still, Bruce slowly pulled sheath of his sword alittle further out of his belt, then slowly pushed the handle of his sword down until the hilt pointed at the ground at a sharp angle...

They all stared down the path of the cracked earth. ... There at the start of the path of broken earth, stood a hooded figure; his cape was a dark brown, one eys escaped the shadow of the hood and glared back at Bruce and the other. In his hand he held a curved, katana-like sword with strange hand guard that only extended over the front and back, it looked like it would come to a point but rounded at both ends. The figure twisted his blade, and the light reflected off the blade flashed in Bruce's eye. The warriors vanished into his hood as he sheathed his blade. He lifted his head again , the intensity in his eyes was so great that even at a distance it forced siver down Bruces spine.

The cloaked man up to and leaped atop a large tan remnant of the destroyed mountain.
"SENIA ALTERION!" The warrior shouted." I am Garr (rock)! I've been sent to escort you Sybak, but i have orders to kill your friends! The warrior shouted from atop the chunck of mountain.
"Who are you!?!" shouted Bruce, unable to think of anything more intelligable to ask. "I belive i've already given you my name... but if i must introduce myself further... I AM GARR! I am known as the AASUKEN (earth sword), i pocess the power of Earth, and i have come to kill the ones who defeated Krathos, and take #143797, Senia Alterion, back to Sybak!

Garr leaned back his head and grinned at Bruce and the others. Sun reflected off his teeth, and light half his face, a red stripe went dwon his face, trough his eye, and made a point and stopped on his cheek. his hair was a dirty grey color, but from his face the warrior couldn't have been more than twenty something years old.. The wind blew his hood and his entire face was visible, The red stirpe was only over his right eye, His face was pale and he had a deep scare from a cut beside his left eyebrow.

Garr, placed one hand on the sheath of his sword, and with his other arm hidden by his cape he began walking forward, he walked slowly, one front in front of the other... almost as if he enjoy the sound of his footstep as he'd pause for a instant, holding his boot in the air with onlt the heel touching down, then steping down hard quickly.

Bruce broke his sword stance and and stood straight up, " I will/.." Bruce stoped as he turned to tell Jeremy that he would take him on, Jeremy wasn't there! Bruce turned back towards the steedliu approching Garr, Jeremy was chrageing at him, he was almost upon him, Jeremy slung the pipe sword from his back as he ran toward Garr with unbealivible speed. His bare feet made made a quick smacking sound in the upturned dirt. "AARRHH.." Jeremy rared as he held his left hand, clinched against his side, focusing his ice power. Jeremy, still dashing forward, launched a spike of ice the size of his two fist straight at the grining Garr. Garr grasped the hilt of his sword and slashed up. the chunck of ice split into and the peices flew past him on either, He snickered sinisterly as his slash continued upward and paused above his head. Jeremy didn't stop runing forward,he gribed the handle of his sword with his left hand a placed the plam of his right against the hilt, pointing his duel sided blade toward Garr, before Garr could lower his weapon to guard Jeremy thrusted his sword forward, the tip of his blade seeking the heart of Earth cloaked warrior, Garr's left hand still clasped his sheath, as Jeremy's blade approached he ribed the sheath from his side and slamed the its mouth against the side of the blade, forceing it up past his neck and over pasted his right shoulder. Jeremy leaped into the air, hope the jump over Garr and make a second atempt at attacking, but his jumped too late, Garr received a face full of croach. The force of the blow from Jeremy's groin knocked Garr'ss head back and sent him slaming into the ground, and the midair collison caused Jeremy start fliping in mid air, Jeremy's face salmed into the ground.

Bruce stood shocked at how fast it had happened... Both Jeremy and Garr lay motionless on the ground. .... Bruce smiled as he looked at garr laying helpless..."-Now is my chance!-" he said under his breath as he began to approch the fallen warrior. Suddenly Garr's legs shot up! and Garr sprang to his feet. Jeremy Slamed both his hands into his against the ground and forced himself up, he spun around on his hand, one hand on the ground, a knee against his chest and one leg extend at his side behind him, Jeremy smiled confidently as he and Garr stared down one another. Dirt still hung from the tip of Jeremy's pointed nose. Jeremy, now holding his sword underhanded, jumped forward and slashed. Garr holding his sword by its long odd hand guard, with the hand laying acroos and protecting his forarm, he staped his blade down colliding with Jeremy blade as its tip pirsted the ground. The both struggled to push the other back.. for a moment. Garr pushed his blade forward and slashed up with all his might, Jeremy, blocking with his sword was sent slideing back on his bare feet by the power of Garr's slash.

Jeremy raised his sword into the air the tossed it, sticking the point into the ground.
Jeremy extended his arm at his side and straightened his fingers, with a quick jerk he form a X with is arms in front of his face. Garr stood still, confused by Jeremy's ackward stance... Slowing Jeremy's powers began to manisfest in his hands in the form of a light blue, glowing energy. The energy sparkled as Jeremy slowly began closeing fist around the ice energy. The energy was molded by Jeremy's closeing fingers, inbetween each one his finger the sparkleing energy emerged, forming small ice bolts(spikes). Jeremy swung his fist arm , tossing all of its bolts in emeidiate succesion, Garr spun the long hand guard of sword around and around, then quickly stopped the sword as the blade streched across his arm past his elbow. He moved his bladed forearm in front of him like a sheild, reflecting all of the ice bolts... Jeremy grited his teeth in fury as he tossed the the other hand full of bolt foucusing his power as hard as he could, sending the bolts flying at Garr far faster than before. Garr, all in an instant, rotated his sword once, grabed the handle of his sword, raised his sword to his opposite shoulder and held it behind his back; his slashed across the ground in front of him, ripping the the earth as it cross and tearing up dirt and rocks, the chck of earth formed a wall infront of Garr, Jeremy watched... almost in slow motion, as his ice bolts smashed into the earth wall and vanished into the raised soil....

........World Jumper....Part 29......


Bruce clinched his fist. it vibrated with his building rage. "-Why?-" he thought... Why,... how has Jeremy become so much stronger... Why does he have a power and not him, "-I have always been more skilled... but now.. he is faster, stronger,... I've never even seen Emanuel do most of the stuff he does so easy... This.... This Earth power....This Power must be mine!-" Bruce watched the fight, waiting for his chance to attack.

From where Bruce was standing, He was behind Garr, He watched him standing behind his Earth wall. Bruce noticed the increaseing glow of Jeremy's blue energy emergeing from over the Wall of Earth.

Garr still held his sword extended at his side from when he riped the earth and formed the wall, He drug the tip of his blade across the ground along side him, then twisted it as it reached in front of him and slashed upward as he turned his body to the side. "RAA!" Garr roared as he finished the strike and held the sword above his head. The stike caused the earth wall to form a point in the middled as the wall zoomed toward Jeremy and his energy which was so thick It was hard to make out a human figure amist the glow.

The rushing wall of earth and rock plowed diches into the gound, riping up grass and gravle a it speeded toward the icey glow. "LOOK OUT!" Bruce shouted, forgeting his rage as he yelled in consern for his freind, just as the Garr's wall reached the misty ice figure. BAADOOOM! Ice and Earth exploded in all direction as the two elements meet each other.


The chucks of eath and ice began to fall back to the ground and the dust began to settl as Garr waited to see the fate of his opponent.. but as the dust settle and the icey mist disipated, Jeremy was not to be seen.. Garr heard the pat of a foot on the ground behind him, He tryed to turn as fast as he could but before he could even see over his shoulder the fott had left the ground and, with tremendous force buried itself in his back! His stomach and chest bulged out as his arms and head jerked back as his entire body fleww forward, flying over the ground. Jeremy focused his ice energy aroind his sword and droping to one knee, plunged it into the ground in front of him, The released power tore trough the earth in a thin line zig zaging violently as it aproched Garr who had slided across the ground twisting and tumpleing until fianny slideing to a stop. Jeremy energy exploded from beneath the earth! Large ice spike sprouted from the ground in quick persition, speeding toward the Earth warrior laying half covered with dirt. When the beam of ice pillars reached The erupted from the ground, larger than any before, launching Garr into the air then exploded! The shattered shards of ice zipping trough the air flew past Garr cutting him all over as he reached his highest point in the sky and slow began redesending to Earth. Jeremy wraped his left hand around his wrist and lifted his arm straight above his head, flating his hand with plam face the heavens. " AAAAAAAAAAHH!" He bellowed as struggled to focus his energy for his finishing attack!
Garr face was cover with small cuts made by the ice shards. he fell limpy toward the ground unconcious.. He was falling with his face toward the ground, his legs bent, waveing in the wind above him.. his earth colored cloak, waved slightly, The blood from his wounds followed behind him like rain drops...

Jeremy continued his roaring scream as he focused the energy forming in his hand, The energy slow spread out, changeing from a ball into a disk, The Ice gleamed as it solidified, "Ice Disk!" Jeremy screamed horsely as he tossed the icey disk directly into the path of the falling warrior...

Garr continued to fall, motionless beside the friction of the wind beating at his limp body.. The blood flowing from his face streamed up leaveing a faint crimson trail behind him...

The imense power of the spining ice disk ripped the ground beneath it as it sailed toward the falling Garr. Garr aproched the ground at seeming increasing speed as the disk speeded toward the warrior, sure to catching him in midair as he fell. "GOT HIM!!" Jeremy screamed in excitment as the disk reached so close to Garr it was imposible to judge the distance from his persective..

The blood flowing from Garr's face slowed, already starting to dry and being striped away by the wind... Garr's eyes suddenly shot open! they gleamed with a ferice determination. Garr trew back his head and grasped his sword with both hands, held it infront of his head, He trusted his hands forward, forceing the blade trew the middle of the razor sharp ice disk!, Jeremy hand used too much power, he could no long focus enough power into the ice to keep it from breaking. The two halves of the disk zipped past Garr as he fliped forward, the eath rippled out from him as he landed and imediately droped to a knee..His head was bowed, face hidden by his hood,.. An increasingly loud roaring scream echoed from Garr's hidden mouth. he sprang up and dashed toward Jeremy, holding his blade firmly pointing out behind him. Exhasted but determined, Jeremy held up his sword underhand infront of him, he held it at an angle and placed his left plam across the flat of the blade...

Garr, with his sword held behind him, he begain lowering his arm until the blade cut the ground as it slide trough the it... He roared as he begain pulling his sword forward, sliceing the earth as he ran. Garr stoped runing suddenly, his feet slide across the upturned earth as he slashed in, the blade cut the earth at a angle as passed infront of him, he twisted the blade and cut straight ahead without ever stoping then ripped the blade from the ground and pulled it up past his face, The ground in front of him ripped and spiraled.. The spiraling earth flowed across theground like a beam.

Jeremy's eyes opened wide as panic griped him, seeing the horizonal vortex spinning toward him.
Holding his ground Jeremy planted his feet firmly, braceing for impact, he focused the last of his energy into his blade, held in front of him like a sheild... "NO!!" Bruce shouted, rushing over to help his freind, but he wasn't fast enought... Jeremy's toes riped trew the ground as the force of the earth vortex pushed him back, he struggled to hold his sword in front of him and the spinning rock battered against it, chuck of spining earth and rocks flew off in all direction as the collided with Jeremy's sword, pieces hit him as the point of the spiral pushed at him like a drill.

Bruce slide to a stop as he watched helplessly as Jeremy strained to hold himself up, The point of spining earth vortex greww closer and closed to Jeremy as it slowly surrounded the energy deplepted blade... the spining rocks caught the blade, the friction ripped the sword from Jeremy's hand and sent it spining into the distance.. the vortex drill at Jeremy's gut, ripping away his coat and shirt, and lifting him from the ground as it turn upward, the beam of earth carried him into the air until finally, with one last push, Jeremy jerked, moving the point of the vortx from his center, The rock spiral ripped across him as it passed, Jeremy began falling, unable to move under his own power... he plumited toward the ground, even as the Earth voetex shot toward the horizon...

Jeremy girth formed a crater when he crashed into the earth, forceing up rock and dust.... Garr slashed his sword, disapating the dust cloud in front of him, as he approched Jeremy's hole... he reached down and picked up Jeremy by the neck and lifted him over his head.. Jeremy could barely open one eye as he looked down at Garr, who was pulling back his arm and pointing his blade at his gut.....

Devistation Part 4 (continued)
........ World Jumpers.... Part 30......

-"suff hua suff hua-" The sound of sucking air was all Jeremy could hear as vision increaseingly blurred. Garr breathed heavily, sucking the air trough his teeth as he grined up at the brused warrior he held above his head.
Garr stood with his sword ready to sque his enemy.. Suddenly his blade began to shake. His eyes strained and the arm holding up Jeremy vibrated violently as his phanting grew deeper.

Garr unclinched his fingers and Jeremy droped to the ground.. "ARRHH!" Garr scream wraping his arm around him, he turned and stumbled about, finally droping . Garr, on his hands and knees faceing the ground, began to cough up bile and blood and gaging in pain... his adrinilin comeing down, the pain of Jeremy attacks hit him like a train.

Garr, breathing heavily with gargleing gasp, struggled to his feet. wiping the spity foam from his mouth he turned back to the motionless Jeremy.. but he was no longer in the crater into which he had fallen.. "NO! how? he could not have gotten up!..." Panic, fearing Jeremy had some how risen and stood waiting for somewhere ready to attack.

He looked all around but he did not find Jeremy on his feet... "AHH HAA!" Garr shouted with a demented relief. There.. in the distance near large shade tree. Senia layed Jeremy next to the large trunk. Garr snickerd sinisterly and started toward the helpless pair. Garr took one step forward and stoped... To his left, coat and hair blowing wildly in the sudden wind, back to the seting sun.. Bruce stood tall as a short man ever could. He held his sheathed sword at his side, its sheath freed from his belt held up by nothing but his right hand.

Garr graped his hood and tried to sheild his eyes, Bruce looked as nothing more than a dark shadow next the the bright sun... The glare was to great, Garr could not make out Bruce's features. But he was in no mood to be intimimdated, Garr was furious and intended to end this battle as soon as possible.

Garr ran furiously at the Composed Bruce, With his sword raisd above his head. Bruce slowly pulled his sheath sword in front of him, acroos his waist. Garr leaped ito the air, screaming harsly as he grew close. Garr's sword, pulled so far back behind him it nearly touched the back of his leg, He slashed staight down as if he held a heavy axe. Bruce raised his arm and slaped the sheath across the side of Garr's blade, forceing it past him, The screaming and the rage in Garr's eyes quick to to a look of terror and panic. Bruce swung his left hand around and grasped the the hilt of his sword, he tucked the sheath in close to his side. Garr blade continued down with great force, Pulling Garr forward. Bruce steped forward with his right leg and trew his arm forward, the blade srcaped and sparked as it screeched across the mouth of the sheath...
Garr in a desperate move summon his power of earth!, as his sword buried itself into the earth the ground emploded, cracking and crumpleing beanath both fighters. Chuck and chucks of earth rose from the ground and started to explode! On exploded under Garrs feet, shooting him into the air! Narrowly avoiding Bruce's stike.

As the dust settled Bruce still stood composed, holding in sword in hand, he slow placed his sheath back in his belt as he watched Garr desend from the sky.
Garr landed sqated down and leaning forward, his hood covering his eyes... He paused.. keeping his head faceing down he rose slow, his head still down he stood up.. From across the feild bruce could see Garr take two deep bearths... "RRAAAA!" Garr suddenly jerked his head back and rasised his sword above his head!
He hammered his sword into the ground toward Bruce, the ground ripped as the path of upturned earth speeded toward Bruce, Garr ran forward, Bruce sheathed his sword, holding the sheath tight at his side with his thumb pressing againt hand guard he ran to word the crack in the earth that tundered toward him. Bruce lept into the air as he went over the crack, The earth once again exploded beneath him,Bruce road a large piece of earth the rose under him, he stood on the end causeing it to tilt forward toward Garr, With both his legs Bruce kicked off the side, launching himself toward the rushing Garr. Startled at this unexpected attack Garr tried to stop! his feet slide in the upturned earth. Bruce flew head first toward him, he drew his sword and slashed horizonally in front of him. Garr leaped into the air at dodgeind at the last second. Bruce rolled as he reached the ground, stoped on both feet, squating on the ground, kicked off and jumped backwards just as Garr stabed at him from above, the stab was so powerful the sword priced the ground all the way to the hand guard.

Devistation Part 5
........World Jumpers..... Part 31........

.....Bruce shuffled his feet, trying to catch his balance as he slide back after narrowly ecapeing Garr's downward thrust.

Garr was paused on his knees, grasping his sword which protruded into the ground. His hood had fell over his head after the attack and hide his face.
Slowly Garr rose to his feet, amist his hood shadow engulfed his eyes, sheilding them from view, to Bruce it was like looking into a dark abyse. As the wind blew on the a single lock of whith hair was all the shown from Garr shadowed hood as it blew in the wind.. Garr cap blew across him, hideing his body on either side, Bruce could see chucks of dirt fall under his cape as Garr pulled his blade from the Earth..

Senia watched the fight intntly as she knelt next Jeremy, as if to show concern but consern was not the look showing on her face...

Bruce watch Garr, thinking... contimplateing... "-I know i could beat him sword to sword, but i can't seem to lure him into a prolong close range encounter.. He uses his powers to retreat and the attack from afar...
I almost got him last time by useing his attack against him... ut i doubt he'll make that mistake again, besides, i'm not sure i could pull it off a second time...-"

Garr slowly leaned back his head, His movements of late seemed so slow and unnatrual the he resimpled a Zombie. A slight glimmer sparkled from inside his shadowy hood as he grin sadisticly.
A single hand emerged from the Earth tone cape blowing across Garr, Its upturned plam shuck ith strain... Dust, sand .. and small rocks all begain to rise from the ground and swirl around Garr, coming to a point and froming a ball above Garr's hand.
Bruce held his sword in front of him, still unimpressed.. Bruce's eyes soon grew wider, seeing the rocks and dirt still spiraling around Garr, yet the ball above his plam grew no bigger... Instead other balls of Earth formed a cirle around the first, six balls in all, the five balls that cirled the original started to move... soon they spining so fast the were only a blurr around Garr's hand as he reached up and graped the the earth ball still hovering motionlessly above his hand and streched his arm out in frot of him, the spining balls of Earth followed, now turned up right faceing Bruce... Bruce could fell a strong wind comeing from the spining earth, and pulling on him, he had to brace he feet to keep from being sucked forward, his cloths shuck wildly as the feirces winds pulled on him.

Garr's other hand emerged from beaneath his cape with his sword. Bruce stood brace, still not slideing forward, Bruce grined confidently at the still shadow faced Garr.
Once again a gleam sparkled from beaneath Garr's shadowing hood as he Grined back"Heh. . heh.... Rrraaarrrr!" Garr Raised his sword and slashed it across the ground in front of him, this tim more than 4 explodeing lines of Earth shot froth in front of him. Bruce placed on hand on his sheath and the other oth the hilt of his sword, prepared to jump and let the Garr's wind pull him torwad the Earth warrior.
Just as Bruce had jumped Garr pulled the trew his hand to the side releasing the winds grip on Bruce. Bruce was falling forwarf thr the rushing prosestion of explodeing earth reached him, he had drew his sword, he trew both his forarms in front of him,The ground exploded beneath him, tossed around like a limp limbe Bruce was carried by the prosestion fro several feet, untill finally he lay face down in a dich of lose earth.
Bruce clinched his fist, the lose earth flowed between his fingers and he grasped his sword. Bruce stood up, a sudden gust of wind blew the dust from his face.. Garr ran at him with the Spining balls of earth still held to his side. Still charging forward, Garr slung his sword at Bruce, Bruce struck forward but missed the bulk of the blade. Instead he hit the enlonggated hand gaurd, causeing the sword to shifted and the hilt to sling around and hit Bruce in the forehead. As Bruce's head jerked back Garr trew the spinning balls of earth, sending them flying at Bruce. It was moveing fast, but Bruce was confident he could dodge it and the attack the unarmed Garr. But suddenly The balls balls of Earth began to dis connect and launch themselves at bruce with greatly incresed speed!
"1 , 2!" Bruce refected the first two balls with his sword, "3!" Bruce stuck forward and the two halves of the ball flew past him, Bruce grined." Fi-ahhh!" The 4th blall smashed into hs shoulder," GUAHH!" the 5th fith crashed into his gutt and shattered. THe last ball the oringinal, was moveing alittle slower, Even as hurt as he was Bruce leaned to the side and the ball flew past him crashing into Garr's sword and flinging it into the sky. Bruce fell on his back.. moaning in pain, he opened one eye, threw the dust he saw Garr! He had caught his sword in midair and now fell toward him from above ... his sword raised above his head....

The Power of Earth
..........World jumpers....Part ....32....

Bruce's gazes fixed on Garr's fiecre eyes and the red mark through his eye. partly cover by his flowing white hair. Through the dust Bruce saw Garr Falling toward him, his sword above his head, screaming friecrely. Garr's shadow fell across Bruce's face , it now looked as if it was not a man but some short of phantom the flew toward him as he looked a the dark mass and the the outlines of a cape waveing as it fell through the air.

Bruce rush to try and get up and move out the way, while trying to find his sword, Garr's screaming grew louder! As Bruce raked his hand across the dusty ground he felt the handle of his sword! He grabed hold. Garr's body parted the cloud of dust the surrounded Bruce. Garr hammered downward with his blade, his blood shot eyes almost as frightening as his scream.. Bruce lifted his sword above him in panic, There blades met! Bruce his sword back to his opposite side the instant the blades met, once again filled with confidence, know the fight was over...

Garr's bladeslide down Bruce's sword and cut deep into the ground! Garr's look of rage cahnged to panic as he realized his mistake in over extending his strike. Bruce lifted his blade from the ground and swung upward above his head... Garr's eyes became even more red.. a single drop of blood driped from them like a tear.. Garr look as if he was bowing, yet the body didn't move.. His head slided from his neck.. bruce looked into his eyes as the head fel in front of his face and fell onto the ground before his knees...

Bruce crawled backwards out of the ditch, unable to take his eyes off Garr's empty neck.
.. Garr's neck began to glow! but how Bruce though.. A golden brown energy shot fort from Garr's neck "NO!!!" screamed Senia Bruce looked back and saw Senia runing toward him, "Look out!" Bruce turned back around just as the energy hit him.. the energy flowed and around him, he looked as if he was glowing! He was lifted off the ground,, dust swirled around him! The glowing energy absorbed into him, the swirling dust stoped and he droped to his knees... Breathing heavily he placed his hands on the ground in front of him.. Bruce was amazed! the ground and around him shot up and made little dust spikes and then fell down and shot up some where else close by, as if the Earth was danceing... he lifted his hands from the ground an rose to his knees.. He pulled his hands in front of his face and atarred at them.. his look of confusion whiped away and he smiled to himself just as Senia made it to him...
" Are you ok Bruce!?" Senia shouted as she stoped..." I'm... fine... Just fine.. h e h h e h..." Bruce roce to his feet Senia tryed to speak But Bruce interrupted " How is Jeremy?"
Senia paused.. "Well.. he is...-"

World Jumpers Heros - Castle
.......World Jumpers... Part 37......


A familiar feeling weiled up inside me as i watched my robe being blown by the breeze.. A feeling i thought i left be hind in the Dying World.. The feeling of being alone.. The feeling i had felt since i was first seperated from Bruce and Jeremy after our rescue from the Desion base.. A feeling the had mixed with desperation as i faought unarmed against the Black Dragon of the Silver Flame.. a feeling shortly replaced by hope When i left Bruce and Jeremy again after our encounter in the Dying World.. Until it turned back into emptiness and lead me back to the Dying World.... and now . I placed the Sheathed Vajraken in my belt.. and then there i Stood. alone.. near the bank of the crimson waterfall.. where the seting sun's lignt chnaged to orange , barely visible, peeking over the bloodly water... ..

I don't Know how long i stood there...Stare at my disgaruded robe.. blowing like my hair in the wistleing breeze.. but when next i moved.. The crimson waterfall had cleared.. and the sun had sat, leaveing only the phamtom of its light... peering red over the horizon..

I picked up the surved dagger at my feet and placed it in a sheath made into the inside of my boot.. i wasn't a perfect fit.. but it held it sucurely.. I went over to retive my robe.. i don't know if it was my mood.. or the fact hand worn it last.. but i didn't put it on... For the time being.. i resloved to remain it black..

I was lost.. in more ways than one.. i had not intened to remain in this world i had no idea where to go from here.. so i deciede.. to just follow the water fall upstream.... I climbed the hillside until it became level wite the cliff.. I
I had been completely unprepared and unexpecting of the site i beheld lookink out over the plateu.. The maggled corpses of gooblins and other such beast litter the land before me... and beyond the.. dark towers rose amougst the natural rock spires of a distant mountain.. no liveing creature stirred for miles.. save for the tiny scavangers and vultures that circled over head.... Dispite the uneasy feeling i got at the very sight of the towers... I continued on toward them... the concept of fear seemed impossible to me.. At this point i'd have done anything, Peril, ... was a far better feeling then lonelyness...


.....

Bruce held a fixed gaze toward Garr's headless body..while Senia stumbled over words behind him.. Although he no longer looked at them, his hands were still held out ,plams up in front of him... Senia finally uttered a tangeible sound, which was obviously the start of a question... one Bruce did not want to answer.. "How is Jeremy?" he interrupted.. " He.. He is resting over there..." she said hesitantly.. " I see.." said bruce, not turning to look.. Bruce looked out across the mangled earth that surounded him, Here , in the trench made by his own power, Garr lay dead... He thought about the glowing energy that flowed trough his bady only moments before.. and recalled Jeremy's defeat of Krathos... and Jeremy's power of ice.. Bruce knew full well what had just transpired.. but something held him back.. something with in him.. something.. told him to keep it hidden.. from who? he thought questioningly..Senia? ... why..? It didn't matter now he decided.. his Friend was hurt.. he should tend to him...

.......

i grew tired of walking.. the castle had slow grew as i aproched.. but in this light i could not be sure how much futher it was.. or exactly how massive...

I stoped and made a small fire, near where i sat on a fallen log, under a young, thin, tree.. It had long been nightby now.. my right hand ached.. i didn't remember when last i had eatin, yet.. i didn't feel hungray..
I had traveled a good ways from the water fall, but i could still hear the sound of runing water from the stream that feed it.. A strong smell filled the air.. the smell of blood.. had the stream once again been dringed in blood?
I wondered where all that blood had came from in the first place.. the drained corpses of a hundred goblins couldn't have run a river red.. but what could....? i fell as sleep still pondering this.. and no closer to a answer..

Hours later.. i had awoken.. somewhat.. but still i just layed there.. it was still dark... I wondered why... why had Laura left?, why had she left me.. me stranded.. but ratther had be upset, and besies being hurt... i was worried about her.. Suddenly my thoughts interrupted by a bright flash in the distance, The shadow of the dread castle fell upon me.. the light had come from the far side.. at first i thought it was the sun, whiched seemed like it should have been up hours ago.. but the light faded as quickly as it had appeared..


.......

A cooking fire dimly lite the nights camp.. Jeremy was awake now.. Laying on his back, right arm in a sling, vaguely stareing into the night sky.. Bruce sat cross legged beside him, looked down toward what little space was between them, yet not really looking at anything.. now and then the two exchanged glaces, but neither spoke..

Senia sat near the fire, stiring a thick porage, whuch Bruce and Jeremy had earlier agreed that which ever region that dish was andigenous to.. was not one they wanted to visit...
"What now?" Senia asked aloud, but still looking into the bubbleing goop... . Jeremy, without moveing his head, glanced over at Bruce, who still stared blankly toward the ground.... Although Bruce had not said anything, he too suffured from injuries he sustained in the fight.. It was hard.. with Just the too of them fighting... " i wonder if Emanuel is fairing as well as us?" said Bruce, lifting his eye brows and takeing a breath,and then a short sigh.. but retaining the same blank stare.. Jeremy turned his head away from the fire, and stared into the blackness that surounded the camp.. "I'm sure..." Jermy paused...: I'm sure he is doing just fine..." Senia stoped stirring.. still griping the wooden spoon in place she looked over at Jeremy supitiously.. as if supecting he knew more than he said.. She quickly continued as she was when Jeremy turned back to look at Bruce.. Bruce was looking at his hand, his eyes big and empity..and with a out of place half simile.. "- I can't wait to see him!-" Bruce thought to himself.. " Now that I.../-" Bruces thoughts were interrupted by the loud beeping sound of and alarm!, Jeremy Sprand to his feet, which even in the confuseion of the moment, surprized Bruce and Senia. "What is it?!"Bruce stammered ,almost falling on his face as he twisted around, still siting," A Desion warp devise!" exclamed Senia " A Desion warped somewhere in a hurry... these cowardenates don't even register.." They place they warped in uncarted.." They must have been running! Maybe Emanuel was there! can you tell where they warped from?!" Jeremy said , almost squelling in excitment." Well.. yes!.." said Senia getting caught up in the moment as well.. The warp trial is fadeing.. i can't pinpoint the exact location, but if we leave now i can get us pretty close.." By the time Senia had finished speaking Bruce and Jeremy already had the swords and ready.. Jerem took out the scouter and Senia quickly punched in the cowardenates... With a flash that sent light pouring from among the trees and froze aniamal in there tracks for miles.. The three vanished..

Bruce and Jeremy habitable held there breath during the feeling of weightlessness that accompanyed warping.. Bruce had his arm held out.. tounching Jeremy's shoulder with his finger tips.. As the artifictial light began to fade Bruce suddenly felt something sloid forming around his arm! he quickly jerked it away!.. The light was gone.... A cold stone wall stood before him,, he knew , because he placed a hand on it.. but he could not see it.. for all around him was a thick veil of darkness.. from the phantom echos, stail air, and damp feeling, he figured he was probally under ground.. The wall seemed hand made, but the floor was corse and uneven, as if in some thunnel, or perhaps a catacomb.. Slowly his eyes ajusted.. by now he knew his friends were not here.. They must be on the other side of this wall! he thought.. "I must find a way out.. surely i'll meet them on the way.."

Bruce took slow, unsure steps in the darkness.. although he could dimly make out the walls for several feet in front of him, the floor was invisible in the blackness. As far as he could tell he was in a long corridor.. Now and then he made out the shape of white lumbon the floor,, "-Skulls-" he thought, but he thought it better not to question what they belonged too.. He walked on, step after unsteady step, wonder how it was he was able to see evn this much, .. The walls seemed to have a faint glow he thought.. but with his eyes still seeing spots from the warp light, he could not be sure..
Bruce continued along the path steping on the uneven floor, he passed over a spot where the ground seemed to rise slightly.. as he did the wall light up above his head!, a green rune shined dim. but seemed blindingly bright in this darkness, as Bruce tune, surprized, and looked at it, he heard the low sound, of a slowly sraping stone.. and the brief patter of what sounded like.. paded feet....

.......

Jeremy srained to see in the blinding light, He turned to look at at Bruce, but his skin crawed as sudden terror siezed him, a ghostly hand pertruded trough the wall, he shook to violently to scream, the hand quickly jerked backed trough the wall as his grabed Senia's arm and pointed at the wall, trying to stammer out words..

Senia Shook him, and he quieted.. partly because, he realizd it was silly, partly because the serious looked on Senia's face, although she hadn't looked at him,,, but mostly because he could see they had warped into some sort of underground complex.. and as the light faded.. everything became dark...

.." I.. I can't see.. " Jeremy said, pokeing his head around as if that would help him see trough the darkness.. Suddenly flames flared up beside him, Senia had lited the end of her spear on fire.. Jeremy had often wonder what that broad blunt end of her spear was for...

His eyes had not ajusted.. he could not make out the other walls.. he steped forward.. something cracked under his foot.. he jumped back! as if expecting the floor to collapse.. Senia leaned down the torch.. the peices of shattered skull lay on the ground.. Slowly Jeremy lifted his head.. his eyes finally ajusting .. although he may have rathered them not now.. all around the room.. which was alomst a perfect square and not very big.., up against the walls, and sparsely scattered in the dust, lay the decayed bones of long dead corpses..

"Wha.. what is this place!?!" Jeremy asked slightly shakken.. " Its a death pit.." Senia replied, looking around with her torch.. " a.. pit..?" Jeremy asked as if to himself. He looked up.. a large dark , round hole occupied the center of the ceiling.. he took anouther look around.. there seemed to be no doors.. no way.. out..

"Quick Senia! warp us back out of here!" "Without Bruce?" Senia asked coldly.. still not looking at him.. " Bruce!?!" Jeremy was suddednly sick with fear.. he had not even notice bruce was gone in thr darkness.. "BRUCE!!" he yelled futilely.. " Shut up!" Senia said in a forceful whisper.. but it was too late.. the echo travel troughout the room, and up the pit.. a rubbling sound emminated from above there head.. Senia and Jeremy looked at each other then up at the hole in the deiling.. peering into its endless blackness.. the rumble grew louder.. suddenly.. a breif glint shined from the torch light on something inside the hole.. " MOVE!!" shouted Jeremy, grabing Senia and lifteding her up, he ran, carrying her with him to the corner of the room a fast as he could..a massive solid object appeared out of the mouth of the pit, smashing into the floor.. Swift move cracks shot in all directions from the impact, ripping trough the floor.. The floor beneath the massive object, assumingly stone, crumpled and the boulder fell trough, the reat of the floor collasped outwards.. the edge of the floor swiftly moved toward them,. Jeremy slide down a incline of dirt, still holding Senia, when his incline suddenly came to an end they fell. several feet to the bottom Jeremy landed ob his feet but llet them slide from under him and landed on his butt.. softening the fall.. for both Senia... and himself...

They indeed were undereground Jeremy thought.. the walls may have been patterned stone.. but the floor was bare dirt and bedrock.. The sound of still falling rubble echoed..


"Ahh!' Jeremy screamed a skeletal arms fell over his shoulders , He grabed one of the arms and trem the seleton over his shoulder, it smashed to peices as he slamed it into the ground.. the Skeleton's jaw droped at the lifeless skull rolled and stoped infront of him.. he snicked to himself. "Must have rolled from up there and fell on me.." Jeremy imagined looking back up to the crumbled ceiling..


............

Darkness, dampness, stale dusty air, and a sound like hissing breaths echoing in the corridors.. this is what surounded Bruce... He procedded cautiously.. slowly freeing his sword from it's sheath.... The sound he had thought to be foot steps had vanished.. The air in the tunnel, carried a sound the hissing of a phamtom snake... The was seemed to echo his name.. - brausseee- The tunnels whispered in a low hissy voice...

The air suddenly got colder... He spun around to face the chills that ran down his spine.. There.. barely visible, in the dim llight of the erie glowing wall.. a thick mist hovered just before his eyes.. i didn't seem to be large.. he could see past it.. .. the mist swirled slowly... Bruce's heart leaped! as the shape of a mans face sudden formed in the mist!. He planted a strike trough the mist in a panic and it dispersed.. he breathed heavy.. and was suddenly unsure he had seen anything..

Shaken.. but keeping his wits, Bruce continued, -coaamme- the walls echoed.. Bruce, shakey with goose bumps, wished he had some sort of light source.. wondering, seacrhing, fearing, what that darkness might conseal... .. suddenly Bruce remember Emanuel.. Emanuel's pouch!! he reached around behind him and unsnaped a small, zippered, black pouch, he had been carring since he had gotten seperated from Emanuel it was his survival kit.. For a brief moment, Bruce wondered sadly how Emanuel was fairing without it.... Emanuel firmly belived in the policy, "Be ready for anything".. surely.. in this.. was something that could help him now.. He searched trough it.. fishing stuff... pocket knife.. tape, string.. !! A fire starter!!,, but.. he had nothing to burn.. matches.. same delima.. A pin.. .."- why a pin?" Bruce thought to himself.. Twriling it in his fingers as he thought.. he clicked it without thinking.. It lighted up! It was a flash pin!.. The light was hardly impressive.. but.. it was something...

Hearing a loud crash echo through the walls behind him.. he hurried along forward... tring to save the what must be small amount pf battery in the pin, he ran his hand along the wall, shineing the pin only now and then to make sure he was not comeing up on a wall..

Bruce felt the texture of the damp dusty wall, they were made with large bricks.. and the groves kind of hurt his fingers ans he passed over them.. Sudden;y Bruce's hand touched something that was not part of the wall!.. He jumped back, placeing his back against the opposite wall, and shined his pin in front of him.. There.. on the wall.. was the figure of a man!. hanging by a wooden spike that stuck out of his belly.. his face was draun.. bone white..and shrivled dry.. his cloths seemed acieint.. tattered rags that look as if the wou;d rip with tha slightset tug.. .. -bruasse- the walls echoed louder.. he turned paniced. franticly shineing his light around.. he turned the light off.. phanting.. he clicked the pin back on.. and shine it up to to take anouther look at the corspe.. the corspe.. the corspe that wasn't there!!!

.... World Jumpers ....Part 39....

... As Senia fumbled around trying to relight her torch, Jeremy surveyed the area.. amist the scant intervals between the cracks , crumbles , and crashes of rocks and stones still falling from above, Jeremy though he caugth a different sound.. It was a strange sound, that even in this chaos, didn't really fit.. almost a raddling sound.. like the hiting of bone.. but not the sound of rock hiting bone.. but bone hiting bone.. and even of a skeleton or a bone had fallen from above and hit anouther.. it would have been a quick, hollow sound.. but this.. it was more like the sound of wind cime made from bone.. what could make such a sound?

Suddenly the flame from Senia torch shined its flickering light on the area.. the veil of darkness removed, revealed groups of skeletons.. satnding on there own, dencely together on either side of the boulder in the center of the room.. they were surrounded.. walls of rock and stone behind them, walls of white corpses on either side.. The fire's light reflecked of the skull of countless more, standing behind the others, in the endless maze of darkness..


.............

Bruce froze, turning off the light and takeing a few deep breaths..wondering if he had actually seen the corpse in the first place.. But as much as he wished to belive he hadn't.. he knew he had... The glowing of the stone walls seemed to grow brighter and dimer with the rytume of his breaths.. Just as Bruce's mind had half wraped itself around this concept, he felt and icey wind blow on his face.. Was there a excit up ahead? no... he thought.. althouh moveing this air was stale and musky.. it had not come from outside.. this was... something else..
The smell of old death traveled with the iciy breeze.. Bruce reach into his inner depth and emerge with a renewed resolve, and stood fast and ready.. The glowing walls grew bright almost as if in reaction.. Altough farther down the corridor and farther behind him the glow was not as bright.. it was still enoutgh to notice when it was obstrocted. .. The walls glow became warped , almost twisted farther in front of him, and the obstruction was moveing quickly toward him! He shined his pen light revealing a thick mist speeding with the current of the iciy wind, as it grew close the pen's light reveal the shape of a mans face and hands, the hands seemed drawn close to the face and fixed as claws, the face's mouth opened showing fangs of mist. The corridor emeted a peiersing sound almost as it the mist we're screeching at him, Bruce's resovle only slightly shaken , he leaped forthm strikeing his blade at the face, between the misty fangs, holding his sword the as the mist passed him on either side...

Bruce thought he heard a footstep behind him, without even looking he swung his sword around , He saw something out the corner of his eye , he swung faster , sure he would slice trough it, but what he cut was not a monster or any other solid creature, but anouther mist so thick it was parted by the blade, without any friction to slow it the blade sparked as the tip scraped the stone wall...

This time it was not a sight nor sound , but a putrid smell the brought Bruce's head around.. The stood the bone white, dried husk of a man, standing arms limb at its side, and head hanging forward lifelessly.. Bruce spun around prepareing to stike down the abomination, but without warning one on the limb arms lassed out! The dried boney arm moved with such speed Bruce didn't know how to react, he trew his head and shoulder toward the oppoite wall, eyes opened wide with panic,hopeing to avoid being graped by the troght, Instead the arm seized the shoulder of his sword arm! and lifted him off the ground with unbound strenght!, It all seemed so effortless, the reast of its body hadn't so much as twichted!

The boney finger dug into Bruce's shoulder.. The corpse lifeted it head and gazed at Bruce, Alouth its cheeks where white as bone, other areas of its fleash, ripe with decay, shown almost purple, as did its's eyes, galzed over in dark lavender, they seemed to emit a violent mist that suround the shunk in shockets, the pupils with a bright red.. and glowed as if the where a light behind them.. In the mouth glinted clean white fangs, out of place in the decayed corpse, but soon even this was drawn from his sight.. the eyes seem to grow in his vison.. he felt something in his head.. as if something was clawing at his mind.. he couldn't even see the corpses body anymore.. Just those peirseing eye surrounded by a purple haze...

..........

Jeremy clasped his hand around an icey aura, little spikes of ice rose between his fingers, He slung his arm down and to his left, trowing the ice spike into the ground infront of the skeleton wall to his left, the spike exploded! sending lagrer ice spike riseing out of the ground, strerching from the bolder to the wall, blocking off the skeleton on the side.. Jeremy cold feel how much that had drain his power.. he knew he had to be careful and use his powers spareingly, as it had only begun to recover from the battle with Garr..

Jeremy reach his right arm infront of Senia, gestureing her to get back, as he reach for the sword on his back with the other..
"-After all i've been trough,and everything we've done, all the sword fighting and training me and Emanuel and Bruce did before this Journey started..- I won't loose to abunch of Skeletons!!" Jeremy told himself, and shouted the last part aloud.. he pulled the sword off his back and grasped it with both hands.. stareing into the endless sea of empthy eyes...

............

Bruce could no longer feel the pain in his shoulder.. -The Eyes!- He wanted to break free!.. but couldn't tell if his body was moveing.. no matter how much he tryed to turn away, those sinister eyes where always in the center of his vison.. he couldn't even avert his eyes.. he tried to yell, tried to scream! But with all his effort the only sound he could muster from his trought was "garraaah"
Just the the purple hazed eyes crinched! the wall glow brighter that ever! It must have been blinding to a creature of darkness, the decayed corpse turned its head sharply and struggle to keep its eyes open,... Suddenly the pain in shoulder returned, Bruce Swung up his arm from the elbow and twisted his wrist around, severing the roting arm the held him!.. the corpse's arm vanish into mist almost in the instant, Freed from it's grip Bruce droped to the ground, sliceing forward as he landed, But the resty of the corpse turn to mist even as the sword penitrated the shoulder! Bruce leaped forward, then , looking back witnessed the corpse reform out of the mist.. with both arms once again!!.. Bruce sheathed his sword as he ran away down the corridor, the glow following him on both sides...

.........

Leting out a rageing battle cry the echoed through the dungenous cavern, Jeremy leaped forward, knocking off severl skulls with a stroke of his sword, counterstrikeing, knocking off several move, chargeing in, strikeing wildly but pull the sword in to him at the end of every strike and hopeing in all direstion in and effort to keep elbow room between him and the skeleton while attacking as fast as possible.. Strikeing, sliceing, slashing, trying not to loss track of anyside of him, But there where just too many, he was quickly geting tried, he could nolonger keep track of what he was aiming for.. sometimes a head would fly trough the air or a skelton would break in half, but other time he'd hardly crack a rib before he had to move his sword to defend an area where they grew too close.... He screamed in frustration, relizeing his sword was going to be much good for long, as the continued to close in on all side of him.. Still crying out with rage he trew his swornd into the chaos, crumbleing several skeleton in that direction, then, slaming his plams together in front of him he proceedded to gather all the energy he could, .. the skeleton closed in around him, he felt there boney figures seize his shoulders and reach for his arms...
With a deep bellow of a yell he slung his arms out and extended them on either side, launching his ice energy, clearing a path on both sides where skeletons fell to the floor and shattered....

Jeremy missed a breath, for a moment he could see all around him as if time stood still, skeleton closeing in.. he could feel his legs giveing out.. he had used too much power.. He fell to his knees.. He saw a skelton closeing in on him from the front! In a panic he closed his fist and three ice spike rose from between his fingers, He lifted his fist from the floor and slashed up at the walking corpse, sending it crumbling to the floor, but the skeleton behind it ramed into him, pining his arm to his chest, As other skeletons ran into him, pileing on top of him, forceing down on his side, pining his other arm between him and the floor..
Jeremy had nothing left.. he couldn't move.. although he was aware enough to relize the skeletons, although pining him to the ground , where doinmg little actual damage.. but with the bone continuously inter locking as they piled on, he could not hope to break free of there.." What are they gonna do?, lay on me till i starve!?!" Jeremy gasped as he realzed just how much of a possiblity that was...

Jeremy could barely see between the bones that surrounded him, but he managed to make out the torch light.. it wasn't moveing.. "Senia!" he yelled, not sure it his voice was too muffled to be heard... He heard something.. words.. being repeated over and over.. " pag ga wa sune fa... pag ga wa sune fa.." A cloud of green dust appeared between him and the torch light he could see.. The skeleton started to shake and squrm violently.. Until.. "DISSPEIRS!" The bone on all the remaining skeleton separated into individual peices, Jeremy trew the bones off of him with his freed arm and stood up to find Senia standed the with her hands together, fingers intwinded, index fingers pointing up, and with a dire expression on her face.....


World Jumpers Heros - Castle (Part 4)
......World Jumpers.... Part 40......

The path had split a forked seveal times, leading in all dirictions deeper in to the eternal night of the catacombs as Bruce hurry along the corriodor, randomly choose a path, never considering where any of them might lead... "Away" bruce though, thats all he cared about... getting away from the corpse, that creature... that VAMPIRE! he found himself shouting in shock, reliseing what he had just encountered.... Bruce stoped... leaning over, one had on the glowing wall, faceing the dirt floor, catching his breath... Bruce looked behind him for a moment... to see if that Vampire was still in pursuit... althought, the entire time he was run he ahd not senced it chaseing him.. he saw nothing and turn to face the floor once more... Bruce froze in the middle of a gasping breath.. he had heard something.. he remain silent and continued to listen.. it was foot steps.. the steps were slow.. but loud.. it sound almost diliperate.. like someone would walking and planting their heel down first the slaming down there toes.. what ever it was.. it didn't care if it was heard.. or prehaps... wanted someone to know he was comeing.... Bruce drew his sword, slowly and silently as possible.. not that it would matter much.. the glow of the wall seemed to be focused around him... The steps echoed all around him.. soon he should be able to see there sender.... a larger leather boot crshed a skull on the edge of the glow's lighted area... the rest of the body became visible.. and tall figure, dark hair cover one of his eyes.. dress in black, thick looking clothes, wearing a white handled sword on his side....

.................


Jeremy gaped in amazement at the disasembled bones that littered the floor around him.. the look again at Senia who was breathing heavily with a stren look upon her face, still pointed upward with to fingers of he clasped hands... He stare deeply at her.. slowing realize what had transpired.. -" Senia did this.."- he thought, looking again at the broken skeleton and bodyless skulls.. had she had these ablities this entire time? What was that green dust? His mind riddled with question, Jeremy looked at her intently.. Had she changed? Did he really know her so well to begin with? When he first saw her.. that day when she was being chase by desions in his world.. she had been tan.. but slow,and without him noticeing until that moment.. she had become pale...and she had been the only one to operate her warp detection devise... and before she knew nothing about machines... and she still wore that revealing Desion uniform... -"NO"- Jeremy thought..-"This means nothing.. she may just have learn a few tricks.. He and bruce and surely Emanuel had.. why not her too?

He didn't even question Senia aloud... he simply noded sliently as a gesture of graditude... he picked up his trown sword and resheathed it on his back.. "lets find Bruce" he said.. and continued into the darkness...

.............

Bruce held is sword in front of him.. "Halt... who.goes... who's there?" he said in a somewhat shakey voice.. "Don't you recongnize me?" said a familiar voice as he stoped, crushing a skull undertoe.. "Bruce"? he said " It's me.. Ema... As the b lack clad figuer spoke these word and cloud of mist behind him formed into the decayed formed of a fanged man. " BEHIND!" Bruce sheirked, Bruce looked as the Stranger gasped his white handles Katana underhand and drew it out as he spun around,sliceing under handed trough the next of the fanged corpse, the reversed is stroke and slashed upwared through the heart of the vampire..Bruce could not see the blade, only and line of light let of by the reflecxive blade, who's light still glared in his vison even after the final strok was cut.. .The vampire corpse faded to dust... no solide piece of the creature was ever to reform....

The black clad figure sheath his blade as quickly and gracefully as he and drawn it... "Emanuel!" Bruce exclaimed as The figure turn to face him once more..

..........


Jeremy and Senia hadn't traveled far into the caverns darkness when the came upon an old, double wooden door.. roted with age and brittled with time.. Jeremy's hand pushed a hole trought the bulk of teh door as he tried to push it open.. Jeremy smashed in the rest of teh middle of the door on that side and cautiously crawed trough after trowing Senia's torch inside..

It was a rather small room to have such a large door.. In fact the room was almost completely baren...littled wider than twice the lenght of Senia's spear...(or Senia herself), and not even as wide... The only sloid object in the small lightless room was a ladder that lead up into more darkness... "Where do you think it leads?" asked Jeremy as he stared up at the ladder where it vanished into the ceiling just above his head.. " Up.. i assume.." Senia said with a giggle, pushing nudgeing Jeremy toward the ladder, gestureing for him to go first... Not what he had had in mine.. It had been awhile since he had a chance to stare at her behind... with that tight outfit.. leaveing half that ass expos... Jeremy shook his head.. -" nows not the time for that"- and he proceeded up the ladder....


..............


Bruce watched as Emanuel's eyes bated back and forth with his bottom lip comicly following the direction of his eys.. as if confused by the glowing wall... yet even when he stoped and fixed his gaze on him.. he didn't ask about it.. Bruce looked at his long lost friend... as he had hoped he looked to have been doing well, he had acquired new clothes and guanlets.. and a fine new sword.. ( makeing Bruce more than alittle jealous..)

........

I looked at Bruce as we stood silently in front of each other.. he looked the same as whne i last saw him.. same clothes.. same cowlick, same sword.. !! "-What's this!?!" i thought.. "- new shoes...-" Bruce no longer wore the wooden sandles he had started out with.. they must have finally broke for good i assumed.. now he had some ruber ones simular to ones i had with my other suit.. "He must have gotten them when they went home that time...-"
