Chapter 35 - Ungar: ‘We must find Merlin!’

During the beginning of their trek to find and meet with Merlin as requested

by the Caterpillar the first one to ask a question was actually Luna and her question

was to Ungar and what he was. 'So, what are you exactly?' said Luna. 'I'm a

Gettling a being whos' soul has been attached to a physical being in this case this

suit of armor.' Said Ungar. 'Well how did you end up like this?' said Luna. 'Have

you heard of the Indian religion, Hinduism? Do you know about their concept of

reincarnation? Well more or less that's how I came into being.' Said Ungar. 'She isn't bothering you is she Wizard?' said Tatu. 'No, it's all fine.' Said Ungar. 'Very

well than.' Said Tatu. 'Wait why do you care if she was bothering him?' said

Daniel. 'I'm just trying to make sure she learns good manners I've been doing that

with her over the last three years.' Said Tatu. 'Wow look who's the Soccer-Mom

now!' said Daniel. Everyone started to laugh. 'You won't be laughing when I

conquer this world.' Said Tatu under his breath. For much of the trek through the

fields of the Kingdom of Yardrat the attitude was somber as all in the group were

concerned about marauding demons. On their way Ungar noticed something

nearby it was something large he cautioned everyone to stop moving. In an instant

the ground began to shake and out of the dirt of a large swamp appeared a giant

reptile. Ungar explained that this was the Questing Beast a giant species of monster

whom one of which was killed by King Arthur's Knight thousands of years ago.

Tatu jumped into the fold; 'Well if we all have to take on this beast, then just don't

get in my way.' Said Tatu. All of the rushed into battle as the beast swung its

massive tail towards them and was making a concerted effort to kill them. The

beast began to spit out smaller monsters that were like humanoid reptiles with

incredible power each of the fighters had to take on at least a few of these monsters

but before they knew it there was an army. The Demons were right every monster

and demon in this world would be going after them and now an army of reptilian

humans was upon them that the beast spat from eggs from its mouth.

'Alright it's time to show these beasts the power of the Wasp Prince.' Said Tatu. Tatu launched

himself into battle knocking the reptilian monsters around everywhere. Many of

them began to screech in pain the infamous villain cackled with ecstasy and glee at

the pain of the reptilians. 'Yeahahahaha! None of you have a prayer you're as good

as dead!' said Tatu. 'Try this on for size!' said Tatu. Tatu launched an enormous

wave of energy at an entire horde of the beasts. 'Yeahahahaha! You don't have a

chance in hell at beating me!' said Tatu. Everyone was shocked with the power

that Tatu had acquired except for Luna who was fully aware of how powerful Tatu

had become but when it seemed like he was about to blast himself through the

glass ceiling everything came crashing down when the beast knocked Tatu onto the

ground with his tail. Tatu laid there motionless he couldn't move. Luna ran to save

him and Ungar announced that it was his turn to bring the beast to heel. Ungar

made it clear however that he needed the help of Daniel, Aquarius, Mencius and

Oliver in order to take down this massive beast. So, they agreed to aid the wizard

and all five of them leaped into battle. Ungar opened the fight with his Dark Ray

attack shooting dozens of projectiles of dark energy straight at the beast which only

seemed to slow it down only a little bit. Daniel and Oliver both hit the beast with

energy blasts but this seemed to do very little meanwhile after Ungar got knocked

back Athena used her healing magic to heal Ungar's stamina. 'Thanks Athena.'

Said Ungar. Ungar used his Eclipse Cannon which left a giant hole through the

beasts left cheek. Next up was Oliver who used a series of lightning-fast energy

blasts which all seemingly missed the beast but launched them together at the same

time at the monster creating a massive explosion. And then next up was Mencius

who used his Earth Magic to conjure up trees and other vegetation to trap the beast

after this Daniel used his Buddhist Palm that he learned from the Monkey King to

knock the wind out of the creature. And finally, Ungar launched his Cosmic Blast

and it seemed to all be over. But the beast was still alive in fact it began to laugh.

"Hahahahahahahaha! You all really are pathetic!" said the creature. The creature

shrunk into a smaller reptilian being but was now emanating with power. 'This

should be a piece of cake.' Said the creature. 'Let me take care of this. Everyone

gets out of here. Luna take Tatu with you!' said Ungar. "But!" said Daniel. 'No,

he's right.' Said Oliver. 'We'll only get in the way, come on!' said Mencius. Oliver,

Mencius, Luna and Tatu took off and with a little convincing Athena convinced

Daniel to come as well.

After a brief moment Ungar spoke up. 'What are you? I sense the energy of

Demon King Taipei, Zagros, The Slug King Yami, the Dark Tao, the Dark Triad,

Emperor Lupus, Demon King Yakku, and a number of other tyrants what the hell

even are you?' said Ungar. 'Wow that's a keen observation. Since I'm going to

banish you away forever anyway, I might as well tell you. My gracious master has

been collecting the energy of fallen tyrants to create the ultimate servant out of the essence of multiple dark beings.

You're friend the Elf Narcis over the last three

years training with the Monkey King in the Spirit Realm defeated and killed

Demon Lord Yakku and his Dark Triad along with the mercenaries the Dark Tao,

he also killed the Demon King Taipei, Zagros and Yami who were all working for

Yakku after their deaths at the hands of Narcis two years ago in the Spirit Realm

two years without their knowledge my master stole all of their souls from hell and

used them to create me. Meanwhile on Planet Izador Sarai and Zaiyal killed the

evil Izadoran Emperor Lupis who sought to conquer the Universe for his galactic

empire my master stole his soul as well along with the recently killed Sodom and

Gomorrah and Nilis the Cyclops. But all of those fiends are only the tip of the

iceberg I have countless more dark souls that make me up and I have acquired all

of their knowledge and their power. Not only that but I have the fighting energy

and abilities of all of your friends including you Ungar. And I've watched all of

your long before your last adventure with that Elf Daniel it's been 500 years since

I've started of merely being a fly on the wall. And now I can shape-shift because of

the Monkey King's abilities that's how I pulled of resembling a Questing Beast.

But more than anything I get stronger with each new being I absorb so the sky is

only the limit for me. For my name, you may call me Malum.' said the creature.

Ungar stood there for a moment in shock now it all made sense this creature was

made up of countless dark beings some of whom he had fought before and in their own separate adventures Narcis, Sarai and Zaiyal had fueled this being's existence.

'Alright that all makes sense. But who is your master?' said Ungar. 'I'm sorry but

I'm not at the liberty to disclose that information.' Said Malum. 'Why not you're

going to seal me away in a dark oblivion right so why not tell me.' Said Ungar. 'I

would but orders are orders. You know how it is.' Said Malum. Ungar thought

about this for a moment this creature is getting orders from who. 'Well, I'm glad

my comrades left and the area is free of civilians.' Said Ungar. 'Oh, and why is

that?' said Malum. 'Because now I don't have to hold back!' said Ungar. Ungar

began to pulsate with massive ammounts of energy. 'Yeahahahaha! That's very

impressive but it still won't be enough to stop me.' Said Malum. 'Well prove it

then!' said Ungar. After this Ungar plunged forward and punched Malum in the

face but Malum simply brushed it off and sent Ungar flying with a single kick

through three small mountains which caused them to crumble. Ungar would have

to be on his toes this foe was the foe used multiple Eclipse Cannons in lightning

succession. Which through Ungar off guard. The creature was using his own attack

against him and then he got on a flying cloud like the Monkey King and began to

thrash the wizard with his sword. After this he used another familiar move copying

Ungar's strategy to the T which Ungar recognized from someone he knew some

centuries ago followed by Ebisu's lightning strike ability. After this it was nothing

more than a blur the creature was treating Ungar like a rag doll.

Finally, Ungar began to collect himself and slowly began to actually hold his own against the

monster. But at this moment Malum grabbed Ungar's cape and used it as leverage

to throw him through the ground. Ungar was launched at least 30 feet underground

and was immediately pursued by Malum. And now the two were fighting

underground in a large cavern. Ungar was now on the retreat and Malum was on

the offensive with Ungar hopping away at much speed but with Malum hot on his

tail. 'This guy's insane he's throwing everything and the kitchen sink at me. I don't

stand a chance against this monster. I have to find a way to end this fight quickly.'

Thought Ungar. At that moment Ungar remembered the new special attack he had

been training to use for the last three years. The creature undoubtedly knew of it

but if he used it just right maybe he could surprise him. Ungar turned around and

announced; 'SOLAR WAVE!' said Ungar. After this Ungar used his Event Horizon

but when he thought he had the upper-hand the beast was not actually stuck in

time. 'Don't you remember I know all of your attacks so the Event Horizon won't

work you fool.' Said Malum. Ungar had lost all hope when a beam of white energy

struck Malum causing the monster to flee. It was Merlin. Merlin had saved Ungar

and now he would help all of them in their quest to stop this new evil.
