Sealing Death (13 page)

      The adults were only fifty feet away from the pot. "My brother," Dave sighed, "Yornoroak!" James was at the head of the conveyor. He watched as the path grew shorter and shorter. This was it. He came upon the very edge of the conveyor and screamed. The conveyor had stopped and his feet were free! "CASSIE!" he screamed. The group ran towards the children. Stella had frozen the track while Cassie burnt out the engine.

      "Now we need to put an end to Yornoroak's corruption! " Cassie announced, "Let's bring him down!"

Overthrow The Government

      The group all climbed out of the hole and stood in the grass. "Who are these people?" Will asked. "Henry, Helen, and Dave." Susan answered, "They thought they were getting jobs, but were really getting thrown out because they were no longer perfect for Idyll."

    "Never mind that!" Charlie snipped, "We need to get to Yornoroak before he sends his robots at us!" "Hey!" Mac piped up, "Remember me? I got an order that Mr. Yornoroak issued that said to converge on the humanium factory, which, I believe is where we are right now!"

    "We can't get out of here that quickly!" Will reminded, "We have too many people to fly!" Just then, a flying bus landed beside them. "William!" Tia yelled, "Need a lift?" No one asked twice. Everyone piled in the ride, and Braddock took off. They flew into the air, and over an army of organic Idyll bots.

      Will looked at Tia. "Thanks." he whispered, and he kissed her on the eye screen. Her eyes went back to full on pink, and her white design tinted red as well. She scanned him again, and by now, Will was used to it.

      Braddock zoomed around the back of the palace and smashed through the stained glass window of Yornoroak's mother. "MOMMY!" he wailed as glass rained down on him, "You!"

      Cassie hopped out of the car and the others piled out after her. "We are here to put an end to your shenanigans!" Cassie proclaimed. She got that line out of one of Charlie's comics she read. It was pathetic, but true.

      Yornoroak laughed. "First, you couldn't stop me if I told you to! And second, what shenanigans?" Yornoroak smirked, "Is it a crime to make people happy? To give them hope? To give people the chance to live in a PERFECT world, where nothing goes wrong?" Julius Yornoroak paced the throne room. "Is it really that bad, that the lessers be removed to make others happy? To recycle the criminals, cowards, weaklings, and uglies into something greater?" the deranged inventor continued, "In order to keep brave, strong, beautiful, upstanding citizens joyful? To please them ALL?!"

      Mr. Yornoroak slid into his throne. "How about a proposal?" he suggested, "You let this all go, leave me in power, keep my operation going, and not tell ANYONE about it, and I, in return, will let you live. You can stay or leave, doesn't matter, but if you stay, you will certainly not regret it! You will have your dream LIFE!"

      Stella spoke up, "It's a nice offer-" Cassie cut in, "but we decline. We are going to make this place a better place to live. With no corruption!" Cassie lit her hand on fire. "Now the only question is," she began, "are you going to go out nice, or not?"

      "ATTACK!!!" Yornoroak yelled. From the shadows came a hundred different robots of all shapes and sizes. Robots like Tia, robots like Mac, and robots like the ones that protect Yornoroak. Everyone stuffed inside the flying car and took off. Mac had an idea.

      "What are you waiting for?" Yornoroak hollered, "Follow them!" The robots stared at their creator. "Ugh!" he sighed, "If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself!" Yornoroak jumped in his flycycle and rocketed after the rebels.

      The small robot flew the car back through the window and circled the castle. It flew over the residential area and to the Life Elongation Tower. Yornoroak was getting closer. He whipped out a small device and began shooting at the vehicle. One of the shots hit the rear propeller and the car swirled downwards and crashed at the bottom of the tower, by the generators.

      "If we blow up the generators to the tower, it will send out an electric charge to everyone it affected, the amount of shock will vary by how long they've used it!" Mac presented, "Yornoroak has been using it for billions of years!" "So the shock should shock him enough to stop him!" Cassie cried out, "Everyone, run as far away as you can. Ten seconds!" Everyone scattered away, and Stella created an ice shield behind them. Cassie flamed the generators as hot as she could, causing them to make a buzzing noise. She twirled her hand and joined the others behind the ice shield.

      The generators blew with a flash of light and electricity shot up the tower. "NOOOO!!!!" Yornoroak screeched as a shock wave shot throughout the realm. Yornoroak sparked and fizzed. His flycycle blew up and he fell to the ground, flinching wildly.

      When the smoke cleared, everyone gathered around to see what happened. On the ground, laid the burnt Julius Yornoroak, still twitching. The crowd mumbled with panic. Their leader was gone! What would they do? What happens now?

      Helen, Henry, and Dave were pushed to the center of attention by Cassie. She had a hunch about them. "I'm sure you all are wondering what has happened!" Dave shouted, "Julius Yornoroak was a fraud! He had been twisting us to think everything was perfect when it was far from it!" Helen stepped forward. "He had been sending those he thought were unfit for Idyll to their demise, and then claiming they left!" she yelled, "I propose a new government, starting with the trial of Julius Yornoroak!"

      The crowd cheered and clapped as loud as they could. "We will go through all of the rules and weed out those we find unjust!" Henry added. "Before we continue, we'd like to thank these people for exposing Yornoroak and saving our lives!" Dave announced, gesturing to Cassie and the others. For the next hour, everyone in Idyll clapped and cheered for their TRUE saviors: Cassie, Stella, Charlie, Will, Vander, Vanessa, Susan, James, Arthur, Betty, Tia, and of course, Mac.

The War Rages On

      More S.W.A.T. teams were sent in from the Realm of the Foretold, as well as the National Guard. Everlanon was completely annihilating all of the forces America threw at them. They had evacuated the surrounding area, and were sending in tanks. If they kept at it, they both would be drained of all of their defenses!

      Meanwhile, Mrs. Spencer laid unconscious in the Amy Leah Hospital. The NYPD had appointed a temporary replacement for James Smith, since he went missing, and were investigating Mrs. Spencer's attack, as well as the disappearances, even though everyone pointed their fingers at Everlanon.

      King Albert had escaped the battle field and was riding his horse triumphantly through NYC's streets.

      Mayor Sanders was walking down the street to his office after taking care of the attack situation. Then he saw a man riding a horse straight towards him! "William!" he yelled, not noticing the fat man he slammed into. His horse tripped and rolled, leaving both men laying on the ground. The king stood and pointed his sword at the mayor's throat.

      "I am looking for my son!" he stated, "His name is Will Rindenton, also known as Will Spencer, also known as Will Braddock! His company included a girl by the name of Cassandra Smith, a boy by the name of Charlie Myers, and another one by the name of Stella Sanders!"

      Mayor Sanders eyes bulged out of his head. "STELLA!" he spluttered, "Where is my daughter?!" The king frowned, "I asked first fat man! Wait, your daughter? Who are you?"

      "My name is Roland Sanders, and I am the mayor of this city you are in!" he replied, "Who are you?" The king withdrew his weapon and placed his foot on the mayor's stomach, looking at the sky. "I am King Albert Rindenton of Everlanon! Where is my son?"

      "Where's my daughter?"

      "Where's my son?"

      "Where's my daughter?"

      "Where's my son?"

      "Where's my daughter?"

      "Where's my son?"

      "I DON'T KNOW!!!" they both admitted angrily. "Then why are you fighting?" a passerby piped up. They both looked at each other. Mayor Sanders grabbed his walkie-talkie and ordered, "Stop sending in men! Stop sending in men!"

      "Where am I?" Charlotte Spencer asked, opening her eyes. "You're in the hospital." a nurse informed, "You were attacked and knocked out in the struggle, but don't worry, you're safe now." The woman smiled at her patient. "My name is Judy." she informed, "I was told that you are to stay overnight."

      Mayor Sanders and King Albert sat across from each other in the mayor's office. "Will spoke of a 'Mrs. Spencer' who had adopted him," the king began, "Would she know anything?" Mayor Sanders cringed. "She is in a coma after being attacked." he informed, "Some woman had thrown her to the ground and knocked her out. Here, I have a sketch of who did it."

      King Albert swiped the picture from Mayor Sanders. "This is Evangeline! She is here?!" the king pressed. "We don't know, but we can check if Mrs. Charlotte Spencer has awoken." the mayor assured. He dialed the hospital and inquired about Mrs. Spencer.

      "Charlotte Spencer just left. She has made a full recovery." the secretary answered. After telling the king, they decided to pay her a visit to see if she knew anything.

      The two knocked on the door of the Spencer residence. "Hello!" she answered, "Come on in!" The king and mayor sat down in the superintendent's living room. "So how are you?" the mayor blurted. Charlotte smiled, "Perfect! Was that all you wanted?" "We kind of wanted to know if you knew anything about Will or Stella?"

      "Oh! Of course!" she cheered, "They are fine! Perfectly well!"

      "Really?" the king asked suspiciously, "They've been gone for days!" Charlotte's eyes got wide. "Oops!" she fluttered, "That just slipped my mind! Here's an idea! You join my husband!" The men glanced at each other. 

      Charlotte's arms stretched towards them and picked them up. "Poor, stupid men!" she sighed, slamming them into each other.

      Judy came back in the room. "Do you need anything?" she queried. Mrs. Spencer shook her head no and smiled. This Judy was very attentive to her! She checked in every five minutes! Wait, there was something she wanted. "Judy?" she began, "Can you get my husband to come?" Judy raised her eyebrows and walked over to the bedside. She grabbed a needle, shoved it in Charlotte's arm, and whispered, "No."

      After she was put under, Judy left the superintendent and walked out of the fake hospital room. She looked up and down the dark lit hallway. Judy grabbed the walkie-talkie from her side and radioed, "Charlotte Spencer has been put to sleep. Over and out!"

The Colorless Land

      The new leaders of Idyll gave their heroes a flying bus to replace the old vehicles that were taken from them. "We have decided to rename our realm!" Dave yipped into his microphone, "Here's to the new realm of Tryna!" The word was blasted throughout the realm and was welcomed with joyful excitement by everyone.

      Cassie had made sure Yornoroak was properly detained, and loaded up the bus. "Good luck!" she called, "Now we need to close the doors of Death so your new realm doesn't get destroyed!" They had explained the situation to the leaders who decided to stock pile the bus with Yornoroak's inventions.

      Mac hovered up to Cassie and beeped, "Can I come with?" Cassie just opened the door to let him in. Who doesn't love a good robot sidekick? They all waved farewell as Braddock zoomed through the reality crack.

      They went in and everything went dark. Sparks flew, and a strange vacuum noise blared loudly. The vehicle bounced around, Mac almost flying out the window. Everyone screamed as gunshots sounded and more sparks erupted from the sides of the bus.

      Cassie felt a strange tingling sensation and the bus popped out of the dark and into the light. "What happened?" Will pressed. "What?" Cassie rasped, seeing her previously pink top now grey. She looked around. Everything was colorless! Pink, green, blue, they were all gone! It was completely black and white! "How could this happen?" she queried, "Where's all of the colors?"

      Charlie grabbed a piece of shiny metal and held it up. "AHHHH!!!" he screamed. He had NO color whatsoever! His blue eyes he had always took for granted were now grey! And kind of intimidating. "Where are we?" he asked as a door opened. Cassie was running away from the car!

      She knew she should stay with the group, but this bothered her. A lot. Cassie needed to know what was going on. This couldn't be normal! She came upon a local and jumped in front of them. "Hello, I'm Cassie Smith." she introduced, "I'm new here, and was wondering if it was always this-" "Colorless?" the girl popped in, "Yeah, for about fifty years now. They say a woman came through a magic door and dropped off a black diamond. From there, it began sucking the color out of us." Cassie was puzzled. "Why doesn't anyone get rid of it?" she pursued the topic.

    The girl said nothing. She just lowered her head and scurried off.  "Wait!" Cassie called, "What's wrong?!"

      Mr. Braddock parked the car and Will jumped out and ran after Cassie. Charlie and Stella followed. "Aren't we supposed to be in a hurry?" Mr. Braddock hollered. He's been back for about five-ish days, and meanwhile, there was a giant monster ripping realms apart, one by one, and they keep making these pit stops everywhere, and getting in more trouble! It's like they were in some kind of book or something! Mr. Braddock had it! That beast needed to return so Braddock could too!

      He had had a nice afterlife in Death, a little condo with yard space. He even picked up a deceased golden retriever to talk with! Sure, they had to watch out for all of the bad guys who had received the death penalty, but as long as they went for a walk only during certain times, it was fine. On occasion, he'd run into an old friend and chat, or he'd bump into a foe and fight, so it was a nice life. He had met the Dragon there again and they had to be ripped apart. Just because you are dead, you're not free of pain and suffering, but Braddock still liked it.

   As long as you didn't get Scarrcedenhogg duty, Death wasn't that bad of a place. The beast smelled so bad, that the dead decided it needed to be washed every week. The dead! Whoever was assigned Scarrcedenhogg duty was dressed in a full body hazmat suit was armed with a pressure washer and hover board. Then they went all the way to the deepest part of Death, where the Scarrcedenhogg was caged. They'd fly around it, spraying water everywhere, and hoping the Scarrcedenhogg didn't catch them in one of its jaws. If it did, they got chewed up, digested, and well, you know.

      Anyways, Braddock wanted back.

      Will ran as fast as he could, with Charlie and Stella close behind. Stella had made skis for her and Charlie and they rocketed up to Will.

      "Do you know why Cassie ran off?" Stella asked. "She probably wanted to fix this place!" Charlie answered. Will was almost out of breath, so Stella gave him some ice skis too. "We just need to hurry up!" Will huffed, "We need to stop fixing things and put the Scarrcedenhogg back!"

      The Scarrcedenhogg paddled over to its next victim. A small realm by the name of Rastedagerty Beliuopretufqeta Ucleiusda. Big name, small place. Rastedagerty Beliuopretufqeta Ucleiusda was different from the previous realms the Scarrcedenhogg got a hold of, because they had modern technology. They were equipped with 6,000 tons of Qualm Bombs. Qualm Bombs were over one million times stronger than your average nuclear weapons, and were illegal in most of existence, except in dire situations. Good thing for Rastedagerty Beliuopretufqeta Ucleiusda, since the Scarrcedenhogg was considered a dire situation.

      The military commander of Rastedagerty Beliuopretufqeta Ucleiusda ordered enough bombs for fifty shots, sure that would be enough. They first shattered their realm shell so they would have a good shot. If it worked, they'd be the heroes of all reality!

      Cassie skipped around the colorless world asking everyone about the same thing. What is with the Black Diamond? Nobody would answer her. She was so frustrated! She had to fix this!

      "Cassie!" Will called as they came to a halt in front of her, "We really need to move on!" Cassie looked at her boyfriend. "Give me one hour." she plead, "If we can't bring back the color by then, I'll leave." Will nodded and gave her a kiss. "Deal." he whispered, "What's first?!"

      Cassie told them about the woman, the door, and the Black Diamond. "Wait!" Will yelped, "A woman from a magic door?" He smirked at Cassie who immediately got it. "ALICE HARPER!" they all yelled in unison.

      "But you said it was fifty years ago." Charlie acknowledged, "She was only like 37!" Stella jumped up and down excitedly. "Her closet must have also gone through time!" she squealed, "That is so cool!" Stella's feet froze the ground with every jump and Cassie held her down. "Calm." she whispered, and Stella nodded. "Let's go see if we can get any information from the town over there!" Cassie decided, "Someone should tell us!"
