Part Seven
*The group has set up tents in the clearing. Everyone is sitting around the campfire Reece had started. Panzer is typing like mad, setting up his security system around the camp. Ozy has her head in her hands, sitting as far away from Goth as she can*
Scootcher: What are you going to do now, Ozy?
Ozy *looks bewildered*: Why me? I'm seventeen! I'm too young for this!
Scootcher *tosses Ozy a piece of paper*: She sent this to Mic...
*The piece of paper is pink and flowery, and written in purple pen. The letters, however, are jagged and scribbled*
Ozy *reading*: I declare that I, Seliphia Xedine Howards, Gamer Zodiac, have issued the formal game challenge of Mo'nospy'ropok'r'pg to Ozailia Jessica Jones, Gamer Ozymandius. The rules are as follows: 1. Ozymandius is playing for the side of good, as always. 2. Ozymandius is limited to weapons she has now, and players from universes 192, 451, 999, 565 and 667. 3. I, Zodiac, have no restrictions...*looks at Scootcher* Isn't that against the rules?
Scootcher: Normally, yes, but Mic checked the rules. Mo'nospy'ropok'r'pg is the one game that limits like this are allowed. Zodi's done her research.
Ozy: She would...*looks back to paper*...have no restrictions...4. Any breakage of the rules on the part of Ozymandius will result in the immediate death of Geoffrey Theodore Peters, hereafter known as Grunge, and any players that Ozymandius has brought through. *Ozy pales* Scootcher, she knows my real name, she knows Grunge's real name...she's breaking rules already! I can't play her! She's been doing this longer than me! I'm just gonna forfeit...she hasn't put anything about penalties in this...
Scootchers: Stay calm, but yes she has. Read the end.
Ozy: Refusing to play will be considerde the same as losing the game, and will be penalized by Ozy forfieting possession of all her players, and the surrender of universe 669 to the control of Zodiac...*crumples paper and throws it into fire* She's thought of everything!!!
Scootcher: Hey! What'd I say about staying calm? Breathe...no need to get hysterical...
Ozy *wailing*: I'm allowed to be hysterical! You've only been teaching me for a year, and you never had this big a problem with Horoscope!
Scootcher: I wouldn't say that...
Inu *to Reece*: what are they talking about?
Reece: Ozy, her brother McGonagal, and Scootcher are Gamers...they've got powers beyond any normal Panteras...but they've also got a Nemisis...Ozy's is, obviously, Zodiac, and Scootch's Nemisis is Horoscope. They're all very important, 'cuz there were only eight pairs pf gamers born in the last twenty years, and there are normally about a hundred per generation... anyway, this 'game' is played with people from other universes...you guys are one...good thing we got here first, or Zodiac would've had claim to Sesshy, since she's the bad one...
Sesshomaru: Stop calling me that! What's the point of this game?
Djenn: No one knows except the players...and sometimes they don't even know. Like Ozy *Djenn points at Ozy, who's staring into the fire, tears leaving silvery streaks on her fur.* Ozy only plays because she's the only one who can stop Zodiac.
Inu: Just great...
Panzer *to his computer*: Oh, come on, Zodi...isn't that overkill?
Everyone except Ozy and Scootcher: What?
Panzer *looks up, startled* Did I say that out loud? Um...^_^...Nothing!
Goth*standing up to loom ominously over Panzer*: Look, Panzer. You can tell us, you can show us, or I can smash your laptop into teeny, tiny pieces.
Panzer *hugs laptop protectivly* Ok, ok! Sorry...*he turnes the laptop so Goth can see. Now there's a campfire in Zodiac's clearing, and (in addition to the blue haired guy) a whole group of freaky looking people...a guy with long white hair, a tall guy with incredibly short blonde hair...and those were only the few you could see clearly. The others, only outlines, promises to be about as odd...one outline looks awfully spikey...* See what I mean?
Reece: GRR! Not them! *looks over at the still-sniffling Ozy. Scootcher is nowhere in sight.*: Poor Ozy...*Scootcher suddenly appears in front of them, hanging upside down from a tree branch.*
Scootcher: Hi!
Everybody: AAAH!
Scootcher: Ok, who do we have?
Panzer *Staying clear of the glowering Goth, holding a hand to his heart* Seesh, Spooky, you almost gave me a heart attack!
Scootcher *flipping down from the branch*: I try...oh, great. Knives?
Panzer: Yep. Maximillon Pegasus and E. G. Mine too, it seems.
Scootchers: Ok, that's three people from 192, one from 999...Panzer, can you get a clear veiw of this guy? *points to left hand side of screen* He reminds me of someone...
Panzer *taps a few keys*: Here...him? *the picture focuses on someone who looks like a mountain of fur with bloodred horns.* Oh, this just keeps getting better and better!
Reece: VORAX?!? Has Zodiac gone COMPLETLEY nuts?!?
Scootcher: She already was...oh, look, he brought Kilkar with him...that's two from 451...and it looks like she's using Naroku and Kikyo, too.
Inu *yelps, drawing Tetsaiga*: Kikyo?!
Scootcher *looks up, startled at the size of the Tetsaiga*: How do you swing that thing?
Inu:...
Scootcher: Yes, Kikyo...you were in love with her once, weren't you?
Inu: I, uh, um...
Panzer: HEY! You can't do that! *yells at computer* What the heck are you doing? Reboot! Reboot!
Scootcher *Instantly at Panzer's shoulder*: What's wrong?
Panzer: Gryr's signal just stopped...
