FM licked the first three fingers of his right hand and stroked his eyebrows, smoothing them down. He turned at, white robes with simple gold embroidery down the front swishing around him as he heard the guard approach.
FM was standing in a simple square room, with four braziers, one in each corner, all burning different colours. These weren’t normal flames however, as they did not give off coloured light, and the room remained smokeless, with a white light seeming to emanate from the walls and floor, with no shadows forming. In the middle of the room were two pedestals, about four feet apart. On top of them was a box. In it was FM’s father. FM turned as the guard stopped, bowing.
“Master.” Said Sniper, raising his head, looking into FM’s cold, hard eyes.
“You have your mission? You are ready to leave?”
“Yes Master.”
“Good.” FM turned back to look at the coffin, licking his fingers and rubbings his eyebrows again as he spoke. “This is just the first part my friend. I will have my revenge, I do not know when, but I will/”
“Yes Master.” There was an edge of concern in Snipers voice.
“What is wrong, my friend?”
“I do not know, Master. I think I am worrying with no reason.”
“Ah. You are concerned about the book, yes?” Sniper lowered his eyes. “Do not fear. I will find the book. MY magic grows with each passing month, soon I will have the power needed to find the book. Then, when it is mine, I will have unimaginable power!” FM felt a shiver run up his spine as he closed his eyes, imagining the power he would wield. He looked at Sniper. “You have your orders.”
“Yes Master Meister.”
“Go. Be swift, and do not fail me.” Sniper turned and left the room.
FM turned back to the coffin. As he walked around it, his fingers traced the inscription carved into the stone. He knew them all, word for word, but their feel comforted him. They were instructions on how to travel the underworld.

Wrath exploded through Meka’s mind. He screamed “No!” in a murderous rage as he leapt off the rock. With both hands he brought the sword up while still in mid-air. When he hit the ground he recoiled, swinging it around from behind in an arc. The sword whistled with its speed. The man had turned as Meka hit the ground. Seeing Meka coming, he brought his own sword up defensively, with lightning speed.
Meka watched as if in a dream as his sword come around. Every ounce of his strength went into trying to make the sword go truer, go faster. Be deadlier. The magic raged with his need. Meka looked from the mans sword, hard into the steel blue eyes. Mekas sword followed the track of his eyes, he heard himself still screaming. The man held his sword straight up, to deflect the blow.
Everything else around the man dissolved in Mekas vision. His anger, the magic, was unleashed like never before. No power on earth could deny him the mans blood.
He finished his arc, the sword coming round at eye height to the side of the mans head. It shattered through the mans sword, and exploded through his chainmail hood, bits of molten twisted metal flying off into the undergrowth. The sword continued its journey, making contact with the mans skull, and continuing through, out the other side of his head.
Bits of bone blood and brain flew up into the air as the early morning air was filled with a cloud of red mist. Steaks of blood covered Meka, dripped down his body, dribbled off his sword as he slowly lowered the point to the ground.
The mans body crumpled slowly to the ground, blood pumping out over the ground, mixing with the puddles already there. Meka could feel the cold mist help cool his body.
“Meka!” Meka awoke, a sheen of sweat over his whole body. “Meka, my brother, are you alright?” asked Grix.
“It was that dream.”
“Again?” Meka nodded in reply.
“Come on, get up, we have to meet the others soon.”
“Who?”
“You know, the others from the village. Dan2K1, Venombyte and Ant.”
“What about er-no, and YH?”
“They said they had something to do. They will meet us later.” Grix helped his brother to sit up.
“Ok, give me a few minutes." Grix nodded and left the room. Meka put his head in his hands as he thought about the dream.

“Master Meister?” FM looked around.
“Yes?”
“I have some bad news Lord, about Sniper.”
“He hasn’t dies again has he?”
“Yes Lord, he fell off his horse.”
“How did that kill him?”
“Into the moat.”
“He can swim.”
“Yes Lord, but as he tried to climb out, he must have pulled the lever, the one you ordered put in?”
“I vaguely remember.”
“That let the piranhas in.”
“Ah. I should have expected something like this. He has a whole bloody palace to have his accidents in. I put all that sponge about so he wouldn’t hurt himself, and yet he falls into the piranha moat. Amazing. Nevermind, he will be back by now. Tell him to continue with his task. Tell him to be more careful next time.”

Goatboy pops his head round the corner and smiles, "Just thought I'd pop up and say 'Fart'."
A Wookie arm appears and yanks Goatboy back behind the corner with a "Sshh,we'll pop back later."
"Sorry dude"
The group heard the strange patter as Goaty and Wookie slunk back to the barbeque

"Tearing of flesh..." YH looked town... his arm was cut... quite badly.
"Oh my God!" Said the woman... "I'm so sorry... I thought you were someone else... Here let me dress it for you..."
The woman took YH back to her house. She lived with 5 other women in a one floor villa type house by the sea.
YH looked out the window to see FM chasing crabs on the beach...
"I'm Lara..." Said the woman...
"I'm er... YH"
"YH?" Questioned Lara...
"Nevermind... Ooh, Ouch!" Said YH again attracting Lara's attention to his arm...

Sorry, that "Suddenly there was a big flash" shouldn't be there. Ignore it.
YH, Meka, TW, Ice Blaster, Dringo and Sheepy had just left the casino after losing all of YH's money. Their only posessions, apart from their clothes, was half of the ticket.
"What are we going to do now?" Asked TW.
"I don't know. I think we should worry about how we suddenly got in a film in the first place. We were chased off the set where Wookiee and Goatboy were having a barbecue, the ticket glowed, and then we were in the casino."
"What if it's a magic ticket! What if whereever we wish it to take us we go!"
"Shut up. We didn't go anywhere real, we went into a film."
"What if he's got a point?" Interrupted Meka. "The only thing is, who wished for the casino?" YH slowly raised his hand.
"Sorry, i like to gamble." He shrugged apologetically, "But i still don't buy it. How can it take us into any films? How does it know what someone is thinking?"
"You haven't been in many stories have you?"
"No."
"These things just happen. You don't ask questions, just go along with it."
"But i'm writing this."
"What do you mean?"
"Me, YH, is writing this bit of the story."
"So?"
"So i can do what i want."
Meka looked confused. "I Think YH is great and should win GAD everyday and be made notable." Said Meka, looking surprised.
"See what i mean?" Asked YH with a smile.
"I really think you're *****ing *****er ******ing *****************er **********ing ***er!" Shouted Bob De Niro, "There's no way you should win GAD you stupid ***ing *******************er! Now get out of my casino!"
"Well, there has to be some balance."
The group ran off from the casino steps. Suddenly there was a white flash.
SHEEPY opened his eyes to see......
Suddenly, there was a big flash,
"What are we going to do now?" Asked TW.
"I don't know. I think we should worry about how we suddenly got in a film in the first place. We were chased off the set where Wookiee and Goatboy were having a barbecue, the ticket glowed, and then we were in the casino."

The group ran off from the casino steps. Suddenly there was a white flash.
SHEEPY opened his eyes to see......
Suddenly, there was a big flash,
"We're in The Flinstones!" Ant cried.
Everyone stared, until Grix said, "errrrrrrrr-no. I believe we're in, "It's A Wonderful Life."
Ant looked puzzled, "Whaa??"
Grix shook his head, and everyone huddled together and talked, leaving Ant standing on his own.
____________________________
Meanwhile, SHEEPY, the rebel who knocked Ant unconscious years ago, was still in the 'normal' world.
He decided he was sick of everyone else getting in the story, and not him.
So he went off on a mission himself. He decided he'd go and...errrrrr....ummmmm... eat some grass. At least it would keep him happy for a while.

Grix pulled the gun from Votannator, shot him, and threw the gun into the sea.
"Now, where were we?"
"I dunno, let's go down the pub." Ant said.
-----------
FM opened his eyes... he had a towel wrapped around him.
"Hi there FM," A man said to him. "I'm your guardian angel."
"Now, where were we?"
"I dunno, let's go down the pub." Ant said.

FM opened his eyes... he had a towel wrapped around him.
"Hi there FM," A man said to him. "I'm your guardian angel."
As Grix peered down beneath the surface of the water, a huge 30ft great white shark grabbed him by the haed and pulled him under. It bit of Grix's arm and swallowed it as Grix screamed in pain.
"NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" shouted the Vottanator as he watched in horror. He jumped in after grix and wrestled with the shark, eventually pulling them both back to shore.
With Grix in a state of shock and the 30 ft shark flapping vigorously, the Vottanator went to his bag and took a desert eagle from in it.
He walked calmly back across to the shark and shot it twice.
He then took out a blade and cut open the stomach of the shark. Grix's arm fell onto the beach.
Then, out of anger, the Vottanator fired the rest of his rounds at the enormous shark. He then reloaded and fired again.
The Vottanator then dragged Grix to the nearest hospital where they attatched the arm back onto his body.
A close call, but luckily The Vottanator was there to help.
Grix thanked him and then The Vottanator just put on his shades and walked out the door, once again roaming the earth to help people who, well, need help.

Just want to say:
"Was he talking to us?"
Made me laugh. :0)
Venombyte tried to regain his footing... how on earth could he be in so many places at once?
Well, he was here now... but he didn't like it.
"Bedford Falls?" He asked, trying to see through the snow... "Where on earth is Bedford Falls?"
"And why aren't we in colour?" Ant asked, checking his surroundings.
--------
Meanwhile, on the other side of town...
FM creeped along the side of the pier... he had had enough of this adventuring biz... which was odd, because he was the one that suggested it.
He looked over, onto the water... it starring back at him, then strangly rushing towards him...
FM hit the waves with an appropriate *splash* and a *click*... the last thing he heard as he fell to the bottom of the ocean was the bell on a buoy, sitting out in the ocean...
