Chapter 13 - The Great Calamity.

Our heroes last week were filled with nothing but joy and happiness. The

gang fought a giant monster that attacked a local fair in the Yardrat Republic except

for Tito who ran for it but was caught by and reprimanded by Ungar. Tito had

annoyed the girls to no end by making poop jokes and constantly farting and acting

like an overall imbecile when they tried to take them to the mall and when they

asked you don't like shopping are you even gay Tito responded by saying; "I like

having sex with guys so yeah I'm gay." He continued by saying that most of the

effeminate gay men which were of course very different in personality to the

neutral mannerism he possessed according to Tito were; 'playing it up to emulate

how you girls act and acting even more effeminate than they actually are and a few

of them even use it to make fun of women rightfully so. Also just because some

overplay their femininity doesn't make them fake-guys they like having sex with

guys so they're gay but Metrosexual Straight guys do the same thing and some of

them are naturally effeminate to and like women but act more effeminate to get

laid." The girls weren't having it. And one time the boys kicked him out of their

dorm because he was farting but not because he was farting but because he would

announce that he farted and Zaiyal said if he announced when he farted one more

time he was sleeping in the hallway. He ended up just farting and laughing instead.

And as a result Zaiyal threw Tito in the hallway. And Tito who was a former

honor-student but also a former-thief was having a hard time breaking this habit but

Mr. Gillum and Ungar worked with him to overcome this flaw. Sarai was talking to

Atil about after they graduated from the University and they defeated this great

Calamity Sarai wanted a child and Sarai was overjoyed with happiness. Karzai was

still trying to get fresh with the ladies even strangers but would get beaten up every

time he tried to do so. Gordo the Panda became the Yardrat National Food-Eating

Champion. In addition to all of this Tito and Gordo became more like brothers and

even partners in battle Gordo actually wasn't slow he just thought reading was for

nerds that's what he said at least. At this point the two were best friends and it

would stay that way for the rest of their lives they were often referred to as 'the

Chuckle Fucks,' as they would laugh at really menial stupid things. Mr. Bear and

Pon-Chow the young Buddhist Monk visited the entire gang and they all got to

connect again after several years. Mr. Bear and Mr. Pasta started a website called

'Affirmative Action where they used it to scam people out of their money and also

so Mr. Bear would have a platform to talk about how the moon isn't real.' In

addition, the Monkey King, his son Jr., Pigsy, Sandy, and Jr.'s new partner and

friend Hamma the Pig visited Daniel and his friends too during summer break and

they would all be there at their graduation party a year from then as Monkey

instructed Laozi, Yuga (Qagar), Lafrim and Seku to defend the Monkey Palace on

Flower and Fruit Mountain when they were gone. Acon 01 01 01 and Taiping

visited after they returned from training with Ebisu at the Wind Palace and were

both noticeably stronger. And it also became clear that Narcis was becoming less

and less vengeful and evil. The Slug-Man continued to defend the entrance to the

Underworld and since that fateful when Ungar told Zaiyal VIII to meet with the

Caterpillar Maochong the Caterpillar had lead Zaiyal VIII to the Spirit World

where he met his deceased wife and Zaiyal and his sister Zaiya's mother named,

'Khiva,' she always pleaded with him to forgive their son and told him that her

death wasn't his fault and he slowly began to come around but part of him still

resisted he couldn't let go of all of the resentment he had for his son. Ungar's

Four-Elite Warriors being Sir Rhyme the Bear, Prince Karelian the Dark-Elf, Ranjit

Singh the Sikh Warrior and Puyi the Buddhist Monk continued to defend Ebisu the

Wind God with their lives along with the spirit and Gettling of the famous Shia

Assassin Hassan I-Sabbah and his legion of Assassins in the afterlife. Akira had

gone away for a while but Zaiya and him met up a year before and they moved off

planet to the Planet Tripoli where they would spend many wonderful years together

and got married a year before the Great Calamity on Helios was predicted to arrive.

Ungar began to warm up to Narcis more and more and Narcis to Ungar. Ungar

served as Narcis's master and taught him martial arts and magic. Zaiyal and

Aquarius were happier than ever even though Zaiyal always still had a mood. As

for Daniel he was happy everything had worked out but he knew it was not to last

by the time all of these events and changes had taken place it was only 6 months

until the Great Calamity which was when their Graduation Ceremony was. And

Aquarius's father Dr. Faust the Jinn the headmaster was not willing to compromise,

having the Ceremony at the end of the year was a Yardrat University tradition and

his mind could not be swayed believing falsely that it would all work out. Daniel

tried to enjoy this time with his friends and he even met up with that one Elf Igor

the nice Degenerate who looked after all of them at Seaside City. He was doing

alright from what it seemed just goofing off and being a bum as usual. But the good

times were going to end and eventually the fateful day arrived, the day of their

graduation and the Great Calamity.

It was the big day and the Graduation Ceremony went as well as anyone

thought it would but nothing seemed to happen until the stroke of midnight the

students and faculty continued to celebrate as the chime of the clocks announced

that it was midnight but their celebration was rudely interrupted by what seemed

like a large rock smashing into the side of the east side of the Yardrat University

building. And another one hit and another one now the masses began to scream and

as a result Sun-Wukong the Monkey King and Ungar the Warlock began to shout

orders; "Listen me Ungar, Jr., Pigsy, Sandy, and Narcis will head in this direction

the rest of you follow Mr. Gillum." Said the Monkey King. The Monkey King was

worried not about the life of him and his son for he was immortal and his son was

virtually immortal not even the Jade Emperor could kill the Monkey King back in

The Journey to the West. But much like Ungar who also could not be killed, he was

not sure if he could defeat these powerful demons that now descended on Yardrat

University and if they could protect the lives of the rest of their comrades. Like

something out of WarHammer giant beasts with tentacles, made of black tar, with

sharp teeth and reeking of death descended upon the University and there were the

Four Horsemen that Lord Tep's clone that Ebisu warned of Agitha, Coroda, Konga

and Krieg they were issuing orders to fire at will but only Agitha and Coroda

would see any action the other two stayed behind in their Massive Airship that

appeared from a massive dark portal. And in addition to his two more baddies

arrived being the Thunder Brothers to East Asian Gods one from Chinese folk

religion being the younger one the Chinese Thunder God Leigong 雷公 and his

older brother the Japanese god of thunder Raijin 雷神 also known as Raiden-sama

雷電様. The two brothers descended on the mortals below, sowing havoc. Monkey

remembered these two clowns he had fought the Thunder Brothers many thousands

of years ago. As a result Monkey began to fight the Thunder Bros. "Well if it isn't

the great and all powerful Monkey King! Surely you remember us!!! You know why

we're here we're here for the piece of the Black Jewel hidden underneath the

school and you can hand it over to our Demonic hordes or you can suffer the wrath

of all of those demons plus two non-Demons that happen to be Gods; that's us by

the way." Said Raiden-sama. "I'm well aware you are the Thunder Gods. You two

clowns will take any opportunity to receive a small increment of power. You

honestly make me sick, you could never be a Buddhist, Taoist or decent people for

that matter you're scum." Said Monkey. "Lets see you call us scammers when we

swat you and all your friends like the bugs you are!" said Leigong.

"I'd like to see you try," said Monkey. And as Monkey used his flying Cloud

cloud for battle with his sword in hand as the Thunder Bros. used their flying

Thunder Clouds do battle also with sword in hand it became clear that the heavens

would clash with intense ferocity that shook the Earth as the battle continued.

Meanwhile another villain, Cyclops named Nilis arrived on the scene. He was a big

brute who was bald with one giant eye in the center of his head and highly strong

armor. He was as tall as an Elephant. He landed in front of Ungar and Narcis.

"Look at a couple of tasty morsels. The Great Lord Zeal sure is generous he said it

would be an all you could eat mortal-buffet. And I can't even imagine what rewards

his master the Dark Lord Iblis has in store for us when he is awakened from his

prison." Said Nilis. "I'm not exactly a mortal buddy, I'm a Warlock and a Gettling.

So you can't squat to me pal." Said Ungar. As this continued the other warriors and

the other students continued to fight and many also fled Jr., Hamma, Pigsy, Sandy,

Athena, Aquarius, Atil, Sarai, Zaiyal and Daniel among other continued to fight

around them but Nilis one of the most powerful beings began darting around. "A

few more parcels have arrived." He said. It was Taiping and Acon 01 01 01

looking swole as ever. "Who is this disgusting freak. Some kind of mutant." Said

Taiping. "Probably a Cyclops," said Acon 01 01 01 . "This one's right on the

money I'm Nilis the Cyclops. Oh boy an Elf, a Human Cyborg and a Demon what a

scrumptious. FYI Cyclops aren't a type of demon so this isn't Cannibalism I don't

know why I bring up that fact because I really love the taste of Cyclops, I know I'm

bad, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!" said Nilis. "Will take him first if we need backup

please join if we join in all at once we'll just end up bumping heads he's big but

he's not that big two at a time is the best strategy," said Acon 01 01 01 .

"Agreed," said Ungar. The fight continued for a while until Agitha the young

Demon girl yelled out; "Nilis are you playing around again; finish them now; if

you keep playing you'll be sorry you animal!" said Agitha. Nilis was clearly scared

of the little girl. "Yes Agatha I'll finish them right now, I swear, I just got carried

away." Said Nilis. "You see that Narcis, that little one got the giant oath to shake in

his boots. Keep an eye on her she is surely quite powerful." Said Ungar. "Yeah you

can say that again." Said Narcis. "Sorry guys I gotta stop playing with my food

Agitha said so, and what she says she gets." Said Nilis. Nilis smashed both Taiping

and Acon 01 01 01 into the side of a side wall knocking them unconscious and

rendering them useless in the fight.

"Don't worry I'll come back to eat you when I'm finished with the main

course." Said Nilis. "I'm a Gettling you fool. It's impossible to eat me." Said

Ungar. "Oh I know this is a Dark Energy Ring. It's from the Spirit Realm. I can use

it to seal Gettlings and other spirits in a far-off dimension where you'll be trapped.

With mortals its results in fatal wounds the chance of surviving it is 1 in a million it

also ruins the meat and makes it uneatable so I'm gonna be real careful and use it

on you okay Warlock! And remember for more Gettlings its 100% accurate it's one

straight ticket to the Shadow Realm! HAHAHAHA!!!!!" said Nilis. At this Nils

began firing blasts of dark energy from his ring intentionally not hitting Narcis as

he wanted to eat him afterwards. The fight quickly became a chase as Ungar flew

away at Mach Speed but the Cyclops was catching up to him matching his speed.

The Cyclops' energy was incredible; he never ran out of energy and he sacrificed

no speed for his size. He shot Ungar with a laser belch from his mouth and it

completely shattered Ungar's defense knocking him to the ground as he stood on

one knee waiting for the inevitable. "Nice try Death Dealer but it's all over for

you. Time to make peace with your God! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!" said Nilis. As

he said this he shot a burst of dark energy from his ring but just as it seemed it

would hit Ungar and send him away for trillions of years to become a bodiless

being in a void it was suddenly stopped. Narcis jumped in front of the laser and

began to scream bloody murder as his skin began to fry. It was shocking he put his

life on the life for an immortal being just so he wouldn't have to be trapped in the

empty void. He fell to the ground. "Aw man, its spoiled. Oh well I got two more

morsels waiting for me for a job well done. You win some you lose some I guess."

Said Nilis. Ungar ran over to Narcis. "Kid are you insane why'd you do it.

WHY????!!!!! I'm immortal why'd did you put your life on the line." Said Ungar.

"Living in an empty void with no one to talk to or be around sounds like a fate

worse than death to me Ungar my friend. Listen, you were right you changed me

Ungar just like you turned over a new leaf you made me realize I could do the

same. I use to believe for so long that I didn't have a choice I was meant to succeed

where my Grandfather failed and conquer the world because it was destiny

whether I liked it or not. I never really liked it and just convinced myself I did so I

could continue to go along with it. I'm not a God Ungar, I'm flesh and blood how

could a God die so easily." Said Narcis. "Its okay kid you can start over you can

continue to redeem yourself it's not too late." Said Ungar. "I know that but I had to

save you anyway." Said Narcis. As he said this he began to cough up a lot of blood.

"Because my whole life everyone feared me and treated me like a monster and a

tyrant rightfully so. But you looked past that and saw me as a friend you were my

only friend. I probably will die here but its worth it. Thank you Ungar for showing

me the truth and freeing me from the lie. I can never repay this debt. Goodbye, my

friend." Said Narcis.

As Narcis said this his eyes began to slowly close and he stopped moving his

skin charred and his orange cape and silver armor in tatters the young Elf was dead.

And Ungar began to shout his name. Jr. came over and offered to take him to the

Wind Palace to Ebisu so he could heal him the sooner the better and he would

return to the battle as soon as he deliver Narcis's body to the Wind Palace and Lord

Ebisu, Ungar agreed. After Jr. leaved which Nilis didn't notice because he was

distracted by how he missed his shot at the Warlock and ruined his food. He

quickly looked back at Ungar assuming that somebody took Narcis away to heal

him. "I'm guessing somebody is taking him somewhere to get healed. You can hope

all you want but that kids' most likely as good as dead. You on the other hand will

be completely dead." Said Nilis. Ungar just stood there in shock with his black

cape flapping in the wind at what he witnessed the loss of his friend "On the other

hand if he's saved at least his meat will be edible again. Your meat sack friend I

guess was just the one that got away." Said Narcis. "Meat Sack?! You mean

Narics?!" said Ungar. "HUH?!" said Nilis. "DON'T YOU EVER SAY HIS NAME

AGAIN!!!!!!" said Ungar. At this an explosion of dark energy appeared around the

warlock and it was blinding to everyone around him. "What the hell happened why

are you powerful all of sudden? Don't tell me it was over that Elf." Said Nilis.

"Even at my worse when I was cold and heartless I at least took what I did

seriously not that it makes it right. You on the other hand think everything's a

game. That's why theres no hope for you. You will never find...

REDEMPTION!!!!!!!" said Ungar. He then lunged at Nilis knocking in every

direction the Cyclops was simply Ungar's ragdoll at this point he would get

smacked in any direction Ungar wanted him to. After this beating Nilis slowly got

up. And being to yell curses when a long poll tripped him it was Sun-Wukong Jr.

the son of the Monkey King. "Ebisu said he'll try but don't get your hopes quite

yet. I'm sorry Ungar." Said Jr. "Don't worry it's not your fault. It's this monster."

Said Ungar. "Hey Cyclops, I want to see real power!" said Zaiyal. After Zaiyal

arrived following Sun-Wukong Jr. he shot a giant energy beam from his hands that

went straight in the Cyclops' eye. Nilis began howling in pain. Agitha got an idea;

this one is perfect, we can use him, she thought.

In the skies above the battle continued between the Monkey King and The

Thunder Bros. Some centuries following The Journey to the West Monkey King

fought the Thunder Bros. and locked them in the Underworld where they stayed up

until now apparently Lord Zeal used the discovered core of the Black Jewel to

resurrect beings from the dead including these two brutes. But Monkey stopped

dead in his tracks. "That energy. That spell. She's gonna use it on Zaiyal this has to

be stopped." Said Monkey. The Thunder Bros. tried to stop him but Agitha said fall

back we have the Jewel and Nilis, the Thunder Bros. and the rest of the Demonic

Army followed her back into the portal but she left behind a spell that attached

itself to Zaiyal's frontal lobe. "What's happening?! There's something burrowing

into my head. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" said Zaiyal. Eventually the

screaming and cries of pain stopped and Zaiyal appeared almost calm now. "Zaiyal

what's wrong?!" said Daniel. "What's wrong Elf?! Maybe it's the fact that you

exist!!!!!" said Zaiyal shooting a ball of dark energy at Daniel. Everyone began to

curse Zaiyal until Sun-Wukong confronted him; "Its not his doing he's been

possessed by that Demonic Little Girl. I'm sorry I'm the only one that can stop him

and she knows that she wants us down a fighter. But still I'll half to kill him." Said

Monkey. Everyone began to scream but the loudest was Aquarius who pleaded

with the Monkey King to not kill Zaiyal. Finally out of desperation she jumped off

the Monkey King's cloud and hugged Zaiyal tears in her eyes. For a moment he

seemed to snap out of it. Memories began flooding back when he met Aquarius in

the Second Grade when she told him she had a crush on him since the 2 nd grade in

the 6

th grade and he told her he had no time for girlfriends if he wanted to become

the greatest warrior in the Universe and surpass God himself. And when him and

Ungar went to watch the World Martial Arts Tournament together in Yardrat City.

And now he was shaken out of this trance, this spell. The school was utterly

destroyed but there was no time to rest. They would have to head to the Wind

Palace and get ready to head to the Spirit Realm in that realm lie all the hidden

pieces of the Black Jewel and the long forgotten Spirit Blade.
