Chapter -12: One Kcajed-up Halloween
Dnalevelc, Ainigriv
Once upon a time, there lived a man named Kcaj Nretnal'O, who lived in Startsville, whose goal in life was to help people with his magical abilities. Everywhere he went, he examined those around him and cast a special charm on anyone who'd look like they needed it. Everyone in Startsville was happy… in his opinion. Actually, his spells were horribly inconvenient and ruined almost everyone's lives. He planted a curse that prevented a married couple from leaving each other, aged a 7-year-old 30 years so he could get onto a ride he was too short for, and turned a girl into a flower when he wondered dreamily what it would be like to be one. Kcaj caused so much chaos throughout the town, the President of Startsville had him beheaded on -31 Rebotco.
They figured he was trying to copy from the legendary Anti-Fairy, Adnicul Nizlat, who lived on Planet Ralava and granted the most wonderful gifts to all her citizens, and everyone loved her. An Elfin named Lepmur became her apprentice sometime before her death 20 years ago, and while he mimicked her gift-giving talents to excellent respectability, Kcaj did not. He was a pain to deal with every Halloween, and they couldn't imagine anyone like him.
Yet by some divine prank, Kcaj's body had survived, and using a spell, he carved a face into a pumpkin, placed it on his body, and let it serve as his new head. It was on the same day as the time when Nightmares and demons were at their strongest, and people honored them. Kcaj took that as a sign from those above him, that on every Halloween, he may roam the streets in his immortal body and grant the gifts he's always given. His mission was a just one.
Now Halloween was a far more celebrated holiday than Christmas, since Negative Land had no gods and were treated as monsters, they felt it fun to actually dress as and honor their fellow demons, or whatever the heck they felt like dressing up as. But this Halloween, Kcaj was planning another return, and has found a rather curious book in the ruins of some mountain in West Ainigriv: a Book of Shadows, which had written some very ancient, powerful spells, and Kcaj could feel the magical energy resonating from it. One spell was called the 'Curse of Monsters,' invented by Nightmare King Darkrai I himself. And with this spell, he knew the perfect gift to give the celebrators of Halloween this year.
Down in the suburbs, Nerehc and Ininap were walking the streets as a beetle and mouse, and kids in costumes all around were going to houses and delivering candies, 'cause that's what Halloween was about. "I must admit, I-I'm a wee bit, surprised you, dressed as a beetle, Sir." Ininap stuttered. "Yer usually, uh, scared of 'em."
"Yeah, Sipa plans to ask me if I wet my pants while I'm in it, and if I didn't, 'said she'd turn me into a beetle for real."
"W-Will she be meetin' with us, today?"
"Nah, she usually spends Halloween performing rituals, the evil energy's at its strongest this time of year, she never likes to waste it 'Says she's inching closer and closer to eternal damnation."
"Well I-I hope she gets there soon, 'cause um… you know, that's her religion then."
They passed plenty of their other friends who were wearing costumes, too. Lorac sewed together a costume of Robin Hood—not his good-for-nothing Negaverse counterpart, the Positive Lorac suspected him to be, and a man to really admire. Nosam dressed as Aivuj from a show called Fairy Tail, because he deemed her extremely similar to his lovely Lorac (yes, it's the Edolas Juvia :P). Nollid dressed as Yrrah Rettop, because he despised his father… and a bunch of other miscellaneous costumes regarding opposite concepts that'd take forever to name, just come see 'em on the wiki.
But little did they know the evil that was climbing onto Dnalevelc's highest tower. He had the book, he had his wand, and the sun was nowhere in sight in this dark, cloudy sky. The spell requires that the sun can't be present during spelltime, so he wondered if that qualified for cloudy skies. He would soon find out.
Spirit of Darkrai, ghost of Dragmire
Make them the creations they so desire
Let the daytime suns never rise again
Let Halloween night be UNTIL world's end!
His wish would come true as he unleashed his powerful beam of magic into the sky. The monsters they honored and worship, they would surely have the highest honor when they became those monsters themselves. And Kcaj would be thanked for bringing this gift upon them. The sky turned a ghastly green as the magic flew all over the world. Little green particles rained everywhere, and every person wearing a costume began to glow green. …You probably know what happens next.
Dnalezor, Ainigriv; Sector ZR Treehouse
The streets were suddenly filled with zombies trying to give people brains, werewolves trying to bite others and rid them of their own curse, and God forbid if there aren't any vampires trying to donate blood to the nearest hospital. Yes, it should be total mayhem, yet it wasn't, but the very sight of it looked weird and had to be stopped. Not that one particular famed DNK sector had anything to do with it.
"So uh, everyone in town turned into monsters." Eel Nosyarg said, lying on the couch.
"Whaddya know." Ennael replied with no interest.
"I've seen better things happen." Ulul followed, steaming vegetables over in the kitchen. "This'll just blow over, too."
"Probably." Ynned agreed.
To put it simply, this sector didn't care for Halloween or its traditions. They didn't like candy themselves, much preferred vegetables, so they wouldn't waste time giving it to people, either. Sector ZR also happened to be a talented and rather renowned sector, the only problem was they were so lazy most of the time, so even though they could easily complete a mission, it was only if they felt like it.
Their serene laziness was disturbed when someone knocked at their window. So, Eel had to take time out of his day to go and answer it. Yrrah Rettop appeared to be floating on a broomstick just outside. "Huh, didn't know Jedi flew on brooms."
"I'm NOT a Jedi!" replied Nollid with aggravation.
"Then why did you dress as one for Halloween?" Ennael asked.
"Irony." It should be noted Yrrah Rettop was a famous psychicbender, and starred in such films like Yrrah Rettop and the Phantom Friend, Yrrah Rettop and the Good-tidings of the Sith, and also Yrrah Rettop and the Slumping Empire. …His films didn't sell as well as that series about a magic boy, Ekul Reklawyks, who goes to a planet of wizards. To put it simply, fantasy is better than sci-fi in any universe. "Anyway, did you see the mess that's going on out there?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"So we have to stop it, and I saw who was causing it, too: Kcaj Nretnal'O. I saw him on my flight here."
"That guy from that old Startsville story?" Ennael asked.
"Exactly. And since the pilots at my treehouse are, eh, incapacitated at the moment, you're the closest sector I know that can fly us to Ralava so we can speak to Lepmur Nikstlits."
"Okay, Z) why do you care, Y) why do WE care, and X) why will Lemur Nikslits care?" questioned Eel.
"Because W) my crappy world's crappy enough without crappy legal Mexican princesses roaming the streets, V) you're the only dumbheads I can rely on, and U) Lepmur was Adnicul Nizlat's apprentice, she usually fixed his problems, but now that she's gone, we have to rely on HIM now. And if you do this thing, I promise I'll convince Nerehc to give you two months free of missions, how's that?"
"SIIIIIIGH." They soooo did not want to.
"Well, you know that Planet Ralava is all the way in Aixalag, right?" Ennael asked. "We're gonna go there and risk running into those DNKG?"
"I'll put a Concealment Charm on the ship so they won't detect us, we'll be fine."
"I'm starting to think Morgan's writing this story." Eel commented.
"ARE YOU GONNA HELP ME OR NOT??"
"OKAY." They chorused boredly.
"Siiiigh." Nollid eye-rolled. "Great. Let's get on your R.E.P.M.A.C.S. and get going." He stepped inside their window and walked first to the hangar.
"Can we at least eat dinner first?" Eel asked.
"Don't worry, I still have my canned bean casserole, we can eat it on the way." Ulul assured.
"YAAAAY."
Dnalhsa, West Ainigriv
Sirhc braved the night and made his way to Dnalhsa in the hopes of meeting his friend. He had no intention of going truth-or-giving with all the scary costumes, and this was the very reason why. So if he had to endure a Halloween of real monsters, he and Yddam could endure it together. "H-Helloooo? Yddam?" Sirhc called nervously when he arrived at the park. "AAAAAAHHHHH!" When that sudden gush of water struck him in the chest, he shot up to the nearest tree's branches and held tight like a scared kitty.
"HEY, Sirhc!" A green, scaly, fishlike creature with a familiar voice and brown hair called out. "How do I look??"
"Y-Y-Y…Yddam?" He still didn't let go of the branch.
"I was gonna dress as one of those fishpeople from Anaeco, and look what happens!!" She never looked more joyous. "People keep saying there's no stars in the sky, well GUESS what just came down and GAVE me my WISH!"
"Umm-m-m.." Sirhc nervously climbed down, "that's great and all, Yddam, but how long are you st-staying like this?"
"I dunno. Hopefully forever, 'cause I NEVER wanna change back! I was over at the pool earlier, I stayed under for five whole minutes and didn't get tired at all! I can live in the ocean and be friends with the merpeople, and I can visit YOU on land whenever I want, this is a dream come true!!"
"Y-You're-You're, you're not gonna LIVE in the ocean, are you?"
"Not REALLY, Sirhc—what, with all those scary sharks down there?—but I wonder if I can put on other costumes and try MORE powers? ? Oh, I gotta check it out! !" And she went dashing down the street on her webbed feet.
"W-Wait, Yddam!" Sirhc toddled after. "Th-That might be dangerous! Oh boy…"
Planet Ralava
The fairytale world of magic and wonder was still as it was even in this dreaded universe. As you might expect, people endure sad endings instead of happy, but on the brighter side, couples of princes and princesses take the time to develop their relationships and decide whether or not they like each other, and a majority of the dragons wield Dark Elements. It's also rumored that most of the Yensid movie plots originate from Ralava's history. The thing about Ralava compared to whatever its opposite had to offer was that it was more evolved, with planes, giant village buildings, and of course factories that made the sky appear red.
Nollid and Sector ZR soared through smogging green clouds on their R.E.P.M.A.C.S. and viewed the shabby-looking landscape. "So where does Lepmur live?" Eel asked, piloting the craft.
"I can't imagine the Elfin Forest is very inhabitable… let's visit the Gold River." Nollid suggested. "Definitely the freshest water source around here, I dunno WHERE else he'd wanna live. I think it's just over that—"
"AAAARR." A dark dragon shaded by the clouds swooped by and whacked their ship with its tail.
"Statistics show that 97% of the time someone's trying to finish a sentence while passing a planet's atmosphere, they get shot down." Atawid said.
"We need a test to prove that theorem." Ynned mentioned. Immediately, the dragon latched atop the roof, its head hanging upside down before their windshield. "That should work."
"In the pods!" cried Nollid, so Ynned uninterestedly pressed a button, sealed the six inside pods, and shot down to the planet below before the dragon liquefied their ship in a cloud of toxic gas.
They crashed on scorched, barren ground as they climbed out of their pods, but soon found their selves surrounded by dragons with gargoyles on their backs, sitting on saddles and having ropes around the dragons' mouths like horses. "Well, if we don't have a couple of Earthlings in our atmosphere." spoke a yellow-haired gargoyle, Ecatcurtse, on a long-necked Shadow Dragon. "No doubt spies for those wannabe conquerors."
"Was only a matter of time before Earth finally caved in." a gargoyle with green spiky hair – Nojid – riding a fat Gas Dragon, replied. "I almost wanted to ask for his autograph. Do me a favor and send your dead bodies to him for me. THAT'S my new opinion of him." he said to the humans.
"You have it all wrong, we came here 'cause our planet is in trouble and we need Lepmur Nikstlits to come and help fix it." Nollid told them. "Just help us get to the Gold River Forest and we'll leave you guys alone, okay? …Unless, of course, we're unable to return to Earth by our own means."
"THAT'S the easiest trick in the book." a female magenta-haired gargoyle, Yrdnic Emad, retorted. "Everyone KNOWS the water from the Gold River restores life-force, and its core can prob'ly make someone live forever. Well, go 'head and try, dorks, 'cause you'll only get more lost the more you look for it."
"Still, this could be our chance to grab some info off their dictator." Ecat figured. "Take them to the boss so we can sweep out their minds. We don't find anything important, we'll still take them hostage. If they aren't EVEN important… our dragons dine tonight."
Nojid's dragon blasted a cloud of pink gas and put the six humans to sleep.
Sol Selegna
The semi-chaos was still going on even in this town, but since monsters weren't generally as feared compared to the Posiverse, well, things didn't go so bad for anyone. But one particular Nimbi would take advantage of this commotion, an angel with sapphire blue hair taking flight to the dark clouds above. Ydolem Noskcaj had dressed as Sapphire Happy and taken her form. With a beautiful pair of white feathered wings, Ydolem soared beyond the heavens, to the lovely realm of Aipyks. It was a very weird sight for all the local Nimbi to see. One with oddly-colored hair, and such unnaturally white wings, soaring among their kind. How could such a creature exist, such an… anomaly?
Within the skies were giant trees made of clouds, and Ydolem was flying to the biggest tree of all. Flying to the highest window of the highest room, and landing on the floor like some everyday citizen. "Hello, you all!" But her friendly greeting was repaid with spears aimed at her neck.
"It takes a Nimbi a lot of wingbone to fly in here dressed that way." spoke Supreme Nimbi Leader, Ibsej, floating down from her throne. "That show was just some human's mock interpretation of our kind, and any Nimbi that takes any liking to such nonsense is a disgrace to our kind. The moment we saw you come in, in that form… we knew you were not one of us."
"No, I don't think it's a disgrace at all." Ydolem said honestly. "I think it's a rather lovely show, and only the humans' way of trying to understand this culture."
"The humans MOCK us because angels are said to be closer to the gods than any other race. But you know as well as I do, the Negaverse has no such thing. The humans can NEVER come to respect us."
"That's not true." Ydolem replied sadly. "Humans can respect you. Because… I am a human."
"You are… an airbender?" one of the female guards asked.
"No. A shadowbender. It's Halloween down below, and some strange thing happened where we all took the form of our costumes. I chose to dress as Sapphire Happy, so…"
"So you've come to mock us." a boy accused.
"No. My wish is to try and understand your people… and maybe make friends."
"We've heard of no Nimbi becoming friends with humans. Let alone one that tries to hide among our kind." Ibsej stated.
"But don't you know? Nimbis exist within our DNK, too: Ibyf and Asia… and Ibyf's mother. If they live among the humans, why can't humans be with your kind, too?"
"People like them are traitors to our kind. Much like the Naidnahs who lived on the humans' land long ago… they don't belong with us if they want to exist below us."
"Living above, or below someone… isn't that the way Aluben wishes to live? Are you deciding to align with her?" Ydolem asked earnestly.
"Why, pray tell, is the human-playing-dress-up so interested?" the boy guard, Ibram inquired.
"After how my leader stood up to Aluben, I wasn't very worried about them much… but then my brother betrayed us to work for them." Ydolem looked down. "Now my secret wish is to do anything to stop them. And I know you don't want to fall under their rule, either. I would like for our two organizations… to work together."
"Assuming that we would… how can you guarantee our safety?"
"I can't. But will any being be safe with Aluben ruling us? That's why we should unite against her. And maybe our example will inspire the others to join, too."
"Hang on, I see what you're doing." Ibram glared. "Your boss, Nerehc's trying to become the new dictator, and 'e sent YOU here to get us to join HIS side!"
"And using clever voodoo magic for a disguise, even?" a girl named Ibnus asked. "Did you really think you could convince us?"
"No, it's not true." If Ydolem's tone could change, she would sound very desperate. "Nerehc never told us anything about that, I came here myself. I just… think it'd be good for both of us."
"I should've known." Ibsej stated. "No human can be trusted. Seize her!"
The guards all blasted Fear Screams, but Ydolem shot up with a forceful flap of her wings and out the window. Swarms of Nimbi flew after her like fighter planes, blasting round after round of bullets from machineguns. 'Cause what reasonable Nimbi uses bows-and-arrows anymore? "Hmph, and to think." Ibsej said to herself. "I almost believed her."
Ralava; Supreme Leader's treehouse
Perhaps not-so-coincidentally, the team of Nollid and Sector ZR were brought to Supreme Ralava Leader, Niffirg Latsyrcerif, who wore square glasses and was reading a book while five other gargoyles at the base of the stairway to his throne did the same. They all lowered their books when they heard the six humans being led in. "Well, this is an interesting surprise." the leader spoke with a nerdy voice.
"We caught these spies flying close to the Gold River Forest." Nojid explained. "We think they're DNKG spies. Earth finally caved in. I say we scan their minds for information."
"Hmmmm." Niffirg flapped forward to study the humans more closely. "…Looks like someone's into sci-fi." he said to Nollid.
"I AM NOT A JEDI!" he screamed, his head throbbing.
"Something doesn't really sit right." Niffirg said, folding his arms. "Why would the Earth Leader suddenly give in so easily?"
"Because he didn't," Atawid spoke quickly, "your cohorts are merely basing their makeshift information off of biased and predetermined knowledge in order to achieve a means to an end, a natural notion as they generally dislike both parties and therefore will wish to link them together so they may extinguish two birds with one stone."
"Yeah, she's sort of a know-it-all." Ynned mentioned. "Go on and search us, but in all fairness, Nollid's the only one who gives a crud, he just pulled us along."
Assuming the Yrrah Rettop boy was Nollid, Niffirg approached him casually. "Then let us find out." Nollid closed his eyes and let Niffirg plant his hand on his forehead.
He saw images in Nollid's mind from his childhood, his lazy drunk father slumped on his couch and chucking beer bottles (not just empty ones) which barely missed his son's head. Nollid turned to his mother, who wiped her son's mind of anything having to do with science and logic and introduced him to the wizarding arts, an art which Nollid found to enjoy. She taught him not to care for or trust anyone but himself, but all across Nollid's life, Niffirg saw him bailing Nosam out of embarrassing situations with Lorac, zapping a bully into a frog when he was picking on a girl, zapping Ininap and Nerehc back to their normal sizes, and later speaking with the uninterested Sector ZR about trying to stop this Monster Curse.
Niffirg pulled away. "…These guys are clean. You guys can go."
"Siiiiiigh." Nojid sighed as they left. "'Guess the dragons are eating butterfly again. Ressag's not gonna like this.."
Niffirg led the humans to an alternate room while his fellow psychics returned to reading upside-down books. "Sorry about the mess, my guys've been doing this with everybody that visits our planet." he told them. "We learned how to tame dragons recently and make them work for us. I preferred if we didn't, but it was either that or get eaten, I guess."
"Aren't you all made of stone?" Ennael asked.
"You seen the teeth on those guys? Anyway, I'll help you guys look for Lepmur and give you a ride back home if you want; I heard that too many people wanted Lepmur's help with things, so that's why he made a hideout near the core of the Gold River."
"Is it true the Gold River can really make someone immortal?" Nollid asked.
"Yes, but there's a kind of spell in place where you can only go there IF you aren't intending to use the river. So you should have no problem getting in."
"Hey, Boss!" a yellow-haired gargoyle flew in. "Nylesoj just got back from the forest collecting jellyflies. He said Lepmur wasn't there!"
"What? Then where is he, we need him for something!"
"Is there any other place he likes to hang out?" Eel asked.
"Beats me… listen, Eilrahc, get more guys and look around for him. I'll take these guys back to Earth."
"For what?" Nollid asked.
"We can still catch this Kcaj guy and make him fix all this, can't we? If we can't find Lepmur, that's our next best option."
"But we aren't even sure—"
"Like the typical criminal, prankster, or general Henry Handy," Atawid spoke quickly, "Kcaj would love to observe the results of his actions from afar, but not too far as to not see, nor too close as to be discovered, and judging by his already-odd appearance, he would take shelter inside the Nainigriv Forest which he probably called his base before choosing Ainigriv in particular to be the source point for his worldwide spell. Also judging by his obsession over something hopeless for a great number of years, even so being immortal, he is probably trying to fight some inner turmoil and is crying his little waxy eyes out in the forest where no one will hear him bawling like a whiny little brat."
"…" They only stared amazed. "Are you really sure-" Niffirg began.
"Positive let'sgetonit." Nollid said quickly.
Nainigriv Forest
The man behind the scenes, Kcaj Nretnal'O himself had retreated to the edge of the near-dead forest. Pressing the Book of Shadows to his chest with his left hand, and holding his wand in his right, the pumpkin-headed man was sobbing. "It's over Kcajy." He jumped with a start and looked to the branches. Nollid, Sector ZR, and Niffirg were perched in the trees. "Your days of gift-giving are over."
Kcaj quickly backed away. "No! I'm not giving up, yet! NOT UNTIL HE UNDERSTANDS!"
"Until who understands?" Ulul asked.
"Look, Kcaj, just change everyone back and this can all go so much more smoothly." Niffirg told him.
"NnnnnNEVER!" Kcaj raised his wand. "You'll undo this spell over MY dead juice! Ascendio!" He propelled high above the branches like a rocket.
"Let's get 'im!" Nollid yelled as Niffirg raised him by the arms and flew after the pumpkin-head. As Kcaj leaped across the trees using his spell, Nollid held his wand in his teeth and spat spells at him, though missing was easy with his being unable to aim. Kcaj stopped for a while and blasted spells back at them, but Niffirg was a little slow in dodging with Nollid weighing him down. Both mages whirled their wands and blasted simultaneous red spheres, and both struck their opponents as Kcaj fell from the treetops while Nollid and Niffirg hit the ground, stunned stiff. "Nnn, ZR! Hurry an' catch him!" the former grunted.
"Sigh, we don't get paid enough." Ennael moaned, surfing an earth-wave she created to catch up and propel herself before a startled Kcaj. He whipped around and saw Eel hurl his own rock-cuffs toward him, swiftly flipping aside to evade. He threw spells at Ennael which she blocked with rock walls, then soon found his legs being tied with vines. Ulul's plantbending was the source of this, and as she tried to pull him upside-down, he blasted a fire spell and destroyed the vines to drop free and escape.
Meanwhile, Atawid and Ynned had stayed behind while the former finished drawing a schematic. "Judging by the trajectory by which the others chased Kcaj, mixed with the likely pattern of attacks to alter such course, our target is now approximately 30.5 cubic meters southwest of here, which means you will have to hit this rock 40 cubic meters that way as well, are you ready?"
"Uh-huh." Ynned had his bat ready.
"Which such distance will only be accurate on my count of 3. One. Two. Three." She chucked the hand-size rock with full force, and Ynned swung with all the strength in his back.
Kcaj was escaping fast through the forest, and with the sticky substance Kcaj had trapped the earthbenders in with his wand, there seemed to be no way of catching him. "OOF!" That is, until the rock came and flung the pumpkin off his body with perfect precision. His head rolled along the ground while his body fell defeated. "Boo hoo hoo hoo." His candlelit eyes wept wax. "All I wanted, sniff… was to show him that I could help people, too… to show him I cared. Why won't he NOTICE me, WAH HA HAAA!"
"I already have…"
The pumpkin swerved toward the source of the gentle voice and gaped. Lepmur Nikstlits faced him with adorable loving eyes. "Lepmur… You… knew all along?"
Lepmur held him in his tiny elf hands. "I think it was the sweetest gesture in the world… but you didn't have to go so far."
He blinked his sparkly blue eyes, making Kcaj blush. "Well, heh… you know what love does."
"Uhhhhh someone clear this up for me." Ennael intervened. "Are you saying you two…"
A big pink heart seemed to appear behind the two, for they looked so radiant. "ARE A PAIR!"
And never more than ever did the seven viewers want to die. "…Okay, Morgan officially took over this story." Eel said.
"Well uh, if that's straightened out, can Kcaj fix the curse now?" Nollid asked.
"Oh, this sillykins couldn't cast a global spell like thaaat," Lepmur cooed, scratching Kcaj's cheek, "he'd need a really powerful source of magic besides that old spellbook. I betchu anything the curse reverses itself midnight on the dot. And that should be riiiiight-" he looked at his watch, "now."
And just like that, Nollid poofed back to his regular form, and that puffing sound echoed all across the town.
Dnalevelc Beach
Sirhc had witnessed Yddam dive into the sea in her new Fishman form. She promised she would be back in minutes, but she may have neglected that promise. "…SIRRRHC- cough cou, keh!" She suddenly resurfaced in her human form a few meters out.
"Yddam!"
"Keh, quick! Get-" But three merkids popped out and grabbed around her.
"Thought they'd get a human to spy on us, huh?" a merboy said. "Your voodoo spell ran out of time. And so will you." They vanished beneath the depths with their hostage.
"YDDAM!" Sirhc took his first steps in the water as he ran- "Ulp!" but retreated back the moment he felt its odd substance. "Uuuuh-h… I-I'll go get Hcaz!" He ran back to town.
Aipyks
Ydolem had been evading the Nimbi for half an hour, and hoped she would be back home before long. "Whooooa!" In a sudden flash, her flight powers vanished, but she didn't fall long before two Nimbi grabbed her by the arms.
"We'll see just how much Nerehc cares for you." one of them threatened. As Ibsej watched them take her away, she still felt so disappointed. She was really hoping to join forces with them…
Back at Ainigriv
"Sooo… that's it?" Ennael asked. "Problem solved plain and simple? No other extra conflict?"
"None to our knowledge." Ulul replied.
"Well, I guess we'll be on our way now." Kcaj said.
"Let's become a star together." And with a magical rainbow wave of his wand, a shining white unicorn with rainbow manes carried Lepmur and Kcaj on its back and galloped beyond the clouds, beyond the sky, to the brightest, shiniest star in all the heavens.
So Lepmur and Kcaj soared into the sun, never to be heard from again. The symbol of their love burned so bright for the whole Negaverse to see. …Yes, Gameverse Studios pretty much cut the budget for this story, it's all being devoted to Seven Lights. This part doesn't make sense really, if Rumpel dies during Christmas, why is his Negative dying on Halloween? Well, I guess it takes a fairly long time to fly to the sun using rainbow unicorns. Bad luck for Rumpel, I'd say. …This is Patrick Stewart, by the way. Can I have my 8 bucks now?
