Once upon a time the world was ruled by a race of supreme beings called Supremers, they were a divine race that lived in the garden of heaven. One day a revolt began in heaven for the control of the world, two groups of Supremers fought and when the war was over the Supremers on the losing side were stripped off their power and divinity and they were cast onto the depth of the world...they are now called Anti-Supremers .


Chapter 1: Supremer
Nancy Walker hurried to school, today was going to be her graduation from highschool. Since her junior year she had always been an honor student grabbing every laurel and awards on leadership and academic excellence many even predicted that she will be a woman of power or the wife of a billionaire in the future. She had exceptional talents, outstanding social skill and an handful of luck, her loving parents provided everything she ever needed Nancy had friends, connections, happiness, beauty and most importantly a bright future.
Nancy tied her luscious auburn hair into a neat braid and adjusted her school uniform which was a white shirt, navy blue jacket and a navy blue skirt she stared into the mirror with her bright blue eyes though she needed not to, she was a beautiful girl with her heart shaped face and perfect hourglass figure many guys including adults had asked her out but she agreed with those who were of her stock.
Today she skipped breakfast due to the fact that she was watching her weight and was late for one of the most important days of her life. She was finally going to graduate from highschool and pursue her degree in law at Harvard, recently she and five other applicants were invited for a dinner with the professors at Harvard university as the highest scoring candidates out of five thousand.

The ceremony started and after an excellent opening speech given by the Nancy and the head student of Rose Hills highschool a school for children of politicians, celebrities and people of high standing in the society. Awards and honors were given, every student in Rose Hills was graduating especially the favorite Nancy Walker,but her perfect life was about to be ruined or changed forever.

Back at the Walkers residence Nancy polished her medal for student of the year it was the 7th one she had received. She removed her clothes and got ready to bath, she stared into the mirror viewing her C-cup breast which was an eye candy for guys back at school. Nancy stared to shower as she hummed a tune... suddenly she heard a crashing sound from the kitchen, that was odd she continued bathing with her mind at rest until someone burst into her bathroom.
"Kyaaaa!!!" she screamed but the intruder cupped her mouth and whispered "don't let us be heard" Nancy bit her assaulter's hand and he winced silently letting go her.
It was Doug the school janitor, he was a young man in his twenties with a rough brown hair and brooding dark eyes he was known for playing pranks on the principal and the teachers and assisting with exam malpractice, he was a well recognized mischievous character but a rapist?
"Mum!!" Nancy screamed, "Mum!!!"
"hey, hey,hey don't make noise like that, though you have sexy body I'm not gonna rape you" Doug assured
"then what the Bleep are you doing in the bathroom while I'm having a bath" Nancy seldom used the "F" word but she was enraged.
"Look" Doug looked around "Calm down and come with me we are leaving here tonight... "
"so you could rape me and become your wife! mum!! dad!! help me!!!" she screamed not minding that she was still naked
"Jeez girls these days. A guy tries to offer help he's charged for sexual assault" Doug said
"Then consider this friendly you pervert" Nancy brought out a canister of pepper spray and released it into Doug's eyes. She carried a pepper spray with her everywhere she went in case of nasty situations like this

Doug yelled in pain as his eyes were now peppered, Nancy took the opportunity to escape she put on her bathrobe and hurried downstairs to alert her parents and call the police. She saw the greatest horror of her life, her parents were dead. The corpses of Mr and Mrs Walker were bathed in blood with large stab wounds on their neck, the lay lifelessly on the dinner table... they were murdered at the middle of dinner..
"Dad!!... Mum!!!... wake up who did this to you?" tears rained from her eyes as she tried to wake up them up in vain,.
"i sorry you had to witness this tragedy, but if you wanna cry keep it down..." Doug interrupted from behind as he rubbed pepper particles off his eyes.
With rage in her eyes Nancy retorted back
"You!, You killed them... why?,Now kill me!!! " everywhere began to vibrate the picture frames and ceramics began to break as if an earthquake was about to happen. Her eyes glowed like fire
Doug sighed "If you wanna die sorry I'm not the culprit, ask him he's behind you"
A crack on the air began to open and a black hole burst open a praying mantis five times taller than a human jumped out of the black dimension, it roared revealing it's blood stained claws. The thing that killed her parents was now coming for her.
The mantis jumped ready to slice her, before Nancy Walker appeared her whole life, she was seventeen, going to Harvard to study law,aspiring to fight for women's right and prove the worth of a girl child in the society, dreaming of getting married to a rich prince charming who will love her and start a wonderful family together with beautiful kids. All her dreams, her beauty, her future were all going to end in a tragedy now, as the monster praying mantis was about strike a killing slash... a tail blocked it, Doug has already grown a seven metre long scorpion tail.
"leave this asshole to me mademoiselle, I'm gonna teach him a lesson he never learnt in kindergarten. Thou shall not mess with me"
Nancy watched as Doug and the monster battled, she felt dizzy as if her cramps had started then she fainted.

Chapter 2: The Goblin and the Gremlin

Change. For an organism to exist further, it mustn't adapt it must evolve lest it dies and it's entrails blown away by the wind of time.
Nancy was adopted sixteen years ago by the Walkers, her real origin was unknown but it was believed that she was the only survivor in a burning building thus gaining the moniker "miracle child". The Walkers were fascinated by this miracle child and decided to give her a proper family.
Those who knew the Walkers closely could attest that Nancy was the source of their goodwill, the mega business contract that her father had been fighting for became his after her adoption. Nancy brought prosperity to those who were close to her as if she radiated luck. At age twelve she was a chubby girl who was always picked on by her peers and an average student, one night outside her window she saw an host of beautiful blue glowing butterflies fluttering through the sky, inspired by the creatures she looked at her chubby self on the mirror and made up her mind to be the best in everything she did... that moment her eyes glowed

Re: Limbo (fantasy) by 1mmanuel(m): 3:55pm On Feb 26, 2017
Nancy jerked off from her sleep, she noticed that she was in a room, it was dark and musky with a smell of burning food. The room was full of X-men comic books ranging from 1965 till present and crates of bottled lemon soda, by side she saw an old school Atari arcade game... this person surely was living in the 80's. There was a poster of wolverine on the wall and another of deadpool, she tried to study the room but a familiar voice called her name and walked in. It was Doug all dressed in an apron and chef hat, his long tail dangled behind revealing it's sting Doug was hold a can of lemon soda.
"Finally awake huh?" he asked with his usual mischievous smile tuned on
She nodded
"My god you snore so loud for you age"
"I snore?" Nancy blushed
Doug took a sip from his soda "I'm sorry for what happened yesterday and you must be wondering who I would be. I'm Douglas but my friends call me Doug and I'm a goblin. Welcome to my apartment."
"goblin?" she asked. Everyone knew goblins as malicious green hideous creatures that ate children and tricked people not as a cunning young man with the tail of a scorpion.
"I'm not a mind reader but l perceive you have doubts about the stereotypical view of a goblin compared with mine" he showed her his tail
Nancy looked away "I don't care, I just want to go home"
He shook his head "the monster that killed your parents is still alive it escaped and has gone for reinforcement,"
"what did the monster need? my parents were good people"
"you're the one it needed. You" answered Doug
" me?"
Doug passed a face mirror to her, she looked at her reflection and noticed that her eyes were glowing so bright like a flash light
"my eyes!! why are they so white and bright" Nancy asked in horror.
"That is your true nature. You are an high-breed, an offspring of a human and a Supremer"
"Who are Supremers?"
Doug hesitated then answered again "they are powerful beings that live in heaven. They are mostly mistaken as angels and gods, sometimes they can be Hot and sleep with human women who give birth to high-breeds like you"
"my real father is a god?"
"yeah and your real mother was foolish enough to have sex with him. Well because your vein flows with divine blood, you're supreme above normal humans monsters and demons value your blood"
"that's why it came for me..." concluded Nancy.
"Precisely"
Nancy could remember she had never been ill nor any injury lasting on her skin.Her luck, success and goodwill were all because she was a descendant of supreme beings now her parents who adopted her have paid for it.
Doug came back with a plate of bacon and eggs,
"How did you know a monster was coming for me?" Nancy asked
Doug dropped the plate and brought out an old fashioned compass from his pocket, he opened it and tiny hologram of the earth rotated slowly at the middle. "This is a compass, it follows paranormal frequency but the globe at the middle will glitch if signal is disrupted by a rat-hole"
"rat?"
"yes, the world is connected by many dimensional roads called limbos, but when a hole is bore through them its called a rat-hole, creatures that leave outside can come into the world through it"
Nancy suddenly remembered the black hole the monster came out of in the mid air
"well but rat-holes are illegal" the goblin ended." Now eat before breakfast gets cold "

No one would have noticed, there was a small metallic cage in the room with wires connected to it, inside was a small hamster or something like that... it was fat and puffy with a pair of antennas on it's head the rodent ran tirelessly inside a wheel.
"Is that an hamster?" Nancy asked
"Nope, that's a gremlin. His name's Crackers"
Nancy tried to touch the creature but Doug stopped her saying "gremlins have voltage, they could shock because they feed on electricity"
"Well how can you keep a creature like that for a pet"
Doug explained "Gremlins are responsible for power outages in the human society by eating wires and draining electricity into their body. We non humans capture them and use them as power supply for ourselves"
Nancy noticed as crackers ran on the wheel he passed electric current to the wire which supplied power into the room. "But that's inhumanity to animals"
"And I never said I was a human"
When Crackers stopped running, power went off and Doug open the cage for the gremlin and with great speed he zoomed out of the room. "Where is he going to?"
"To feed himself again and probably cause power failure in the human society" Doug answered as he took a sip from his third bottle of lemon soda
These people were impossible. Nancy thought and she hoped not to meet another non human again. Just two days ago she graduated from highschool and her parents got killed by a monster now she was in a goblin's room with with his power supplying pet only to discover she's a mixed breed between a human and a godlike being called a Supremer, it was all like a fairytale she had heard as a child except this version was surreal.
She discovered that high-breeds like her had experienced mysterious death because of power in their blood, most of them never knew this even at death. Nancy was confused, many she knew must have declared her dead like her parents, she knew she couldn't keep on putting her loved ones into danger because of her origin. She didn't know were she was again, were she was going or whether she will reach there again. Her parents dead, and her future ruined, she didn't know if to blame her real father was worth it.
She stared at her glowing eyes on the face mirror "what could an high-breed possibly have?" she asked herself
...Now was the time for her to evolve again...

Chapter 3: From the Black they came
... back in the normal world...
Cassie Pen washed the last dishes for the night at Whisk Chicken diner, Rosemont USA. She heaved in it exhaustion, Cassie was a 51 year old black woman due to her large size and kind motherly nature she was nicknamed "Momma Cassie"Though she was already a woman of age to be doing that kind of labour Cassie took the place of a single mother for her two young grandchildren Willie and Leroy whose mother was facing an hard time after divorcing a no- good alcoholic... she only took this job to feed her poor daughter's kids.
After her work was done Cassie changed from her work cloth it was 9.00pm and her shift was over she had to hurry and pick up Willie and Leroy from her neighbors house, at the counter she picked up the local newspaper whose headline talked about the fate of the Walkers family who were murdered in cold blood three days ago and the disappearance of their seventeen year old daughter Nancy Walker after the incident, police were still searching for the girl though hidden sources claims that she murdered her parents. Cassie looked at the picture of Nancy, she was too young and beautiful to suffer such fate the woman thought hoping the girl would be safe in God's hand.
Someone whispered behind her ears "forgetting something?" she felt chills allover her body, Cassie turned back it was Nate Stephens the perverse manager of Whisk Chicken. Nate was a tall man with sparse blond hair on his head, he resembled a skeleton on human skin compared to Cassie's heavy figure and dark skin, apart from Hitler and Idi Amin Nate could be classified as one of the worst bosses of human history, since he was the boss around no one could oppose or suggest his around. He was so pervert that he picked on countless of female workers who worked there except for Cassie.
"Well Mr Stephens I will be going now to pick my kids, they must be tired and missing me. Good night Mr Stephens" Cassie said cautiously before leaving, Nate her hands and smiled in a toothed grin "wait right there woman, call me Nate we're all alone ain't we?"
"OK good night Mr Nate" Cassie said as she was about to leave Nate blocked her "Hold it right there woman, I never said you can leave why don't we come in and have coffee like two matured adults. Shall we?"
"But Mr Nate my kids... I need to pick them up" Cassie said
Nate laughed sinisterly "those mulattoes of your daughter ain't my problem. The boogie man ain't visiting town today so they're safe" His mouth smelt like alcohol mixed with onion "so shall we?"
Cassie finally agreed "only a cup"
"only a cup" followed Nate
Nate made the coffee and gave Cassie hers, the coffee was black and bitter as if sugar was forbidden in it, not her taste but Cassie forced herself to drink it before her boss tried anything stupid. Nate hadn't drank his coffee he stared at Cassie with one eye and another eye on her breast, he licked his lips slowly.
After she finished the coffee she stood up to leave, "thank you Mr Nate, I'll be going now" He grabbed her hands again
"not yet woman, you need more coffee as there's more of you" he licked his lips and stood up slowly whispering into her ears "the truth is you're the coffee I wanted tonight," he grabbed her large ass, Cassie felt weak and dizzy, had this nutcracker of a white man drugged his terrible coffee to take advantage of her?
She suddenly sat down again, "That's better" Nate approved, "in my pop's days negro women obeyed men like us before their hussies. If we wanted to lie with them Bam! we did it"
"Why you doing this Mr Stephens" asked Cassie wearily
"Originally I've always had a taste for large ladies like you and please call me Nate" He said stroking her big breast. Nate was right Cassie was an eye candy for men who loved fat women, though she was in her fifties she still looked attractive and pretty enough for a woman of her size and age.
Nate began to unbutton he cloth while rubbing her expansive belly "stay still piggy, I'll be your boogie man tonight" he was starting to suck her breast, as he raised up his head a cup of hot coffee splashed on his face
"Argghh!!! you bitch!!" he screamed, Cassie got up began to leave, she waddled hurriedly to the front door , she used to be slender before she married her late husband and got so fat, now this was one of the disadvantages but she had to leave,.
Nate cursed behind threatening to put her in jail and kill her grandkids if she didn't come back... as he tried to catch up with her a large black hole began to tear open on the midair like a vortex. Nate froze in horror and out of the rat-hole came an group of giant ants the size of dogs, they pounced on him tearing off his skin while he screamed in pain
Cassie screamed in horror as she witnessed the monsters eating her boss alive, her adrenaline pumped and the drug in her wore off as she sped out of Whisk Chicken diner.
The ants continued chewing the bones of their prey, it had been centuries since they had a eaten a human and Nate won't be the last human they would be consuming... the rat-hole became bigger and an horde of giant ants marched out ready to hunt human preys.
In an unknown location a girl named Nancy Walker gasped as she suddenly awoke from sleep...

Chapter 4: Thirty-Three Second to Die:
The news of the monster ants got everywhere in Lakeside town, the law enforcement did everything to calm the residents, but after two weeks of children getting missing and live photos of massive ants eating people the streets became unsafe,a taskforce was set up to hunt the creatures. Many thought they were aliens from outer space but the subject of terror knew what they were looking for.
Doug had a problem, Nancy had escaped. By the morning he came to check her in the room she was gone and he didn't bother to find her, at least a burden had left him finally and not that he cared if she would get eaten. The goblin opened his drawer to fetch his compass before getting to work... "Damn!, that bitch has my compass" he cursed under his breath.
Miles away in town. Nancy too a deep breath, it had been as if she had been trapped in a goblin liar for five days and it was relieving to be back to human civilization. But the town looked dull recording and estimate of twenty persons who had died in the claws of alien creatures. Nancy wore an hooded sweatshirt she had taken from Doug to hide her appearance. Her first stop was the cemetery were she heard her parents were buried, she took a bunch of Daisy flowers for her mother and daffodils for her dad. As usual the cemetery was scanty so she removed her hood and went to her parent who were buried side by side two days ago, their gravestones read: ANNABEL WALKER(nee Stevens) APRIL 1972- AUGUST 2015. WE WILL LOVE HER FOREVER. BRIAN RALPH WALKER. NOVEMBER 1969- AUGUST 2015.
She placed the daisies for her mother and the daffodils for her father with tears bursting from her eyes, she could remember the smile in their faces when she won her first spelling bee contest in elementary school, did they still have that smile in their faces in heaven. She noticed both graves had few flowers, her parents were influential persons in the society to receive such treatment. She stayed by for hours silently asking questions the graves couldn't answer. Old man Jenkins the old grave keeper came by, his eyes were weak so he couldn't recognize Nancy.
"Awful nice couple" he commented.
"yeah" she returned
"bad thing they died this way" he continued "unfortunately folks been dying like this, since last week."
"who"
Jenkins pointed to a nearby grave "that kid over there was killed by a devil, a great loss I must say. The cops and all of them are trying to hide the truth, but I know it ain't a space alien, with all the recent death happening since the Walker incident devils been sprouting outta hell from diners to kindergarten to strip clubs, if people continue to live under this terror I doubt I might get a retirement"
"What if it isn't a devil or demon?" Nancy asked.
"Well I asked that same question when I was your age, my papa and his mates then always talked about fairies and elves and monsters dwelling in the woods and conversing in strange tongues. I thought it was all fallacy until 1932 back then in Lakeside, I sprained my feet in the dead of the night while hunting in the forest. There I met the oddest lad you did see, he had a devilish smile on his face and the tail of a scorpion. At first I thought he was a demon but demons don't drink lemon soda" narrated Jenkins.
"so" Nancy knew it could be Doug.
"I pleaded till my throat went dry" he only laughed at me and called me names, he took my game and fled away like the wind. After that I knew the world was full of odd magical things and they're troubling us again "


She sat by herself in the middle of the street all these death happening were because of her, the monster that killed her parents was on loose and was looking for her. If this continues more innocent will die because of a girl with no tomorrow, she came by her boyfriend's house, Philip was the only one she had now at least he still loved her and would be more than delighted to see her alive. But no, from afar she saw Philip handling another girl much more prettier than her.
Nancy brought out the compass as she opened it a miniature globe spun she checked all the coordinates to make sure
she could find an odd signal. The compass faced north and the globe began glitch... this meant a time-eating hole was nearby.

The world was connected by a celestial bridge known as limbo, it cuts through space and time but when a dimension is breached through a time-eating hole or rat hole is created. Time-eating holes form like black holes, and can be open for a maximum of one minute per entry before it closes.
Nearby there was a hole, and it was time to end it all Innocent ones like her parents did not deserve to die. If she could only sacrifice herself by jumping in the dimension the monsters may leave. The globe on the compass became faint and faded off as she reached her destination, the time-eating hole was in an alley down the streets, it was night already and no one noticed the supernatural presence. The hole was like a massive black vortex formed on a wall, it spun wildy dragging Nancy like a magnet into an unknown world it had 60 minutes to stay
With tears in her eyes she remembered her boyfriend who had forgotten her so soon and the graves of her parents.
<come on get inside> she heard a whispering voice but no one was nearby.
<people are dying because you're weird, your parents must be regretting why they adopted you> the voice said again. She stepped closer <you can do it Nancy, come on don't you miss your folks. Without them, you can't survive this mean world so just jump in and die> she still went closer. < I can hear them calling you from heaven, get it and don't keep them waiting. There's nothing for you on this world>
The hole blew a dark wind, she had 33 seconds left to get in and disappear... it magnetic force became stronger as she came closer to the dimension almost... 10 seconds left she stepped in...
"gotcha!" Doug grabbed her back from the time-eating hole. The hole finally closed and nothing was left but a wall.
"Yo! are you stupid or what?" Doug asked her in her an irritable manner, "so you wanna die because you're too innocent or perfect to survive" Nancy held Doug at his chest and began to cry
"I... just want to live but I don't know how... this is too... too much to bear because of me! I'm just so scared!!" she sobbed. This was the first time the girl had come close to tears now realising how weak she was.
The goblin closed his eyes for a second and patted her back gently "let me tell you something you already know. This world ain't full of flowers and rainbows it's a very mean and nasty place, and it will beat you till you're down but it's not how strong you are that matters but how you're able to stand up anytime you get beaten down. That's what we call life".
By the time they got home Nancy was already fast asleep, Doug laid her on the bed and used a warm blanket to cover her. He checked his compass to see if it was broken, when he started it the tiny globe began to glitch, a time-eating hole was opening up and it was nearby.
Not far away, a large time-eating hole opened and the giant praying-mantis that murdered the Walkers emerged out, it killed a nearby police officer and transformed into the man. Behind this shape shifting creature an horde of giant ants followed, tracking their main hunt: Nancy Walker.

Chapter 5: Mimic- Mantis
"The Mimic Mantis is an ethereal creature which resembles a giant prey mantis, it predatory beast with the power to shape shift into it's past victims " said Doug.
"why" asked Nancy
"Why?. They believe taking the form of people they've killed will be used to fool new preys. A mimic can kill a young lady for example and transform into her in order to fool let's say, an hapless young man and have him for dinner" the goblin explained
",That's so intelligent!" Nancy exclaimed "normal mantis mimic leaves to fool their prey which are tiny insects"
"Creatures like these come through time-eating holes and...
" Why do they want me?" she asked
"well rumours have it that eating a supremer grants immortality.Since they impossible to kill,their hybrid offsprings which consist of people like you are the next resort"
It was funny to believe that her flesh could grant immortality. Doug and her were hatching a plan to stop the Mimic- Mantis and she was going to have be the bait
It was 3.am Doug and Nancy got to the townhall, a curfew had been put so no human was out. The giant ants roamed the streets of Lakeside consuming anything from metal to trash, Doug got out his shotgun and filled it with a silver powder before loading it. According to the plan Nancy had to let the monsters detect her aura and as they come for her Doug will divert their attention and trap them into another time-eating hole.
Doug set his compass and located where the next hole will be he made sure it was close to Nancy but he needed something to trigger them, "BANG!!" he fired at a group of ants, bullets didn't come out of his gun but blasts of fireballs. To defeat monsters you needed supernatural weapons. The sound alerted the ants and they began to chase Doug down the street, he reached a local church and climbed it's pinnacle
The ants lost him and began to struggle over a large pile of trash he had set before the church, they were creatures of lower intelligence. From above Doug began to shoot at them, the fireball bullets turned the ants into ashes.

Back at the townhall Nancy was alone, she stood perfectly still concentrating all her energy into one point, her eyes glowed like fire as her newfound celestial power was taking shape. Like an angel an halo began to form over her head.
Afar the Mimic- Mantis in the form of the police officer watched, it couldn't wait to take a bite from the girl. Being a predator with high intelligence it transformed into a little girl it had killed years ago and went inside townhall to meet Nancy. Where was Doug?

Chapter 5: Showdown
Doug whistled to the lyric of a rock music he played in a police car while driving, how did he get the car?. The police officers Dickson and Enis who were stationed to patrol the town tonight during the curfew weren't really doing they suppose to, Dickson was reading a playboy magazine while Dennis helped himself with chocolate creamed donuts. They didn't notice the shootout performed by Doug till he disarmed them and hijacked their vehicle. Doug decided to carry them along, he just tied them up and used a duct tape to seal their mouths.
"sorry officers I can't help but abide by my own laws" he took a bite from the ring donut, Dennis began to mumble protests but Doug ignored him. As he drove around town he had his shotgun outside, he gunned down every giant ant he saw before heading to the townhall.
Back there Nancy continued to mediate, as her celestial nature was honing, a little girl of about seven years old walked up to her, Nancy opened her eyes she was surprised to see the child in front of her.
"Hello, where's your mummy?" Nancy smiled and asked, but the child was silent.

"I'm Nancy what's your name?" she asked again but the child said nothing, Nancy deduced that the little girl was lost,
"don't be scared I'm with you" she assured
The girl's face was expressionless but she brought her hands forward to touch Nancy's face, Nancy laughed and thought it was cute.
"BANG" went the riffle, Doug was already at the entrance of the townhall on time.
"shan't let that thing near you"
Nancy protested "Doug but she's only a child!"
The goblin smirked and continued "don't be fooled, if you can see through the mist I can. What is a human child doing around at this time and place, ain't odd?"
"don't take it like that, she could be lost..."
"Well Nancy Walker I proudly present to you the one who murdered your folks. The Mimic- Mantis" Doug reloaded his gun and aimed it at the child.
At that moment Nancy backed off from the child she was too confused to say anything reasonable. "no,no" she muttered silently.
"Freeze!! Drop your weapon!" charged the Officer Dickson
"And hands in the air!!" added his colleague Dennis. It was admirable that the policemen where able to free themselves, they pointed their guns at Doug from behind.
" Hey officers, I said I was only abiding by my rules and anyone who stands in my way only makes my work difficult "
The policemen were more terrified of Doug's tail, but he still kept his stand.
"Hey aren't you gonna comply?" asked Dennis, then suddenly a bloody saliva dripped on his shoulder he looked up and behold there was a nest of giant ants hanged to the ceiling awaiting their preys
"sweet bloody christ!!" exclaimed Dennis.
"aliens!!!!" shouted his colleague
The ants released themselves from their position and pounced at the Doug and the policemen,
"now you've made my work difficult!" said Doug.He fired his weapon at the monsters, since his bullets were made from fireballs they were more effective than normal weapons.
The ants tried to feast on Dennis the fatter police but Doug was able to repel them.
Nancy watched in horror as three battled the ant, she turned to the little girl whose hands turned into mantis claws, she wasn't fast enough to dodge the attack and she got stung
The little girl transformed into a massive Mimic- Mantis, once again she met her adversary but she was paralysed to take action. The creature grabbed her and tried to get away but Nancy used her last power to scream.
Doug heard it and as he looked up he found the unconscious Nancy with the Mantis hanged up- side- down the ceiling.
"good, I'm suppose to be at home watching TV and enjoying a nice pizza with a bottle of lemon soda, not doing these!" he aimed his gun at monster making sure not not to hit Nancy then he fired. The Mantis dodged easily, not that he was a bad marksman but the creature was light and nimble in movement. He fired at the Mantis's claws and it dropped Nancy from the ceiling. Dennis rushed to catch Nancy before she hit her head, he checked her pulse
"she's still breathing" he assured "we need to call backup!" he informed his partner, but before the policeman could do anything the monster insect landed like a feather and in a flash he beheaded Dickson with it's claws.
Dennis screamed as he saw the head of his colleague roll lifelessly.
"you're one troublesome bastard" Doug said to the Mantis and it came charging towards him, he loaded his shotgun and fired at it but it was too fast to target.
The monster got to Doug to strike him but the goblin blocked the attack with the gun, which broke into half in return.He began to use his tail to fight the beast . In a flash Nancy came between the beast and got stabbed
She said "If you want to eat me you must feel the pain I feel of loosing everything" a bright halo radiated above her head, her eyes began to glow. With the Mantis's claw in her belly she was burning with something more than rage, pain, death, it was a power beyond physical comprehension.
The Mimic- Mantis began to burn and it started to scream "if you can't feel my pain, you can't have immortality!!" tears flowed through her eyes. The monster tried one final trick, it changed in her mother. In a fit of rage, Nancy remembered how her parents died as she screamed "can you feel it ?!!" a power flowed through her body and the insect monster burst into flames and debris. She fainted in tiredness

Five men dressed in blue designer suits and shades appeared, they also had halos over their heads as they killed the remaining ants with ease , from their body you could feel a great surge of divine power.
"Supremers" Doug said.
The battle was finally over.

Chapter 6: God-fruit
Two weeks had gone after the Mimic- Mantis incident, Lakeside town was back to life thanks to Supremer Anti-Monster Squad, they erased the memories of Officer Dennis and so many others who witnessed the monsters. Well at least the policeman was promoted.
Nancy gathered the last of her parent's belongings and lit them on fire, it was time to let go of those memories and move ahead besides she couldn't stay in an much longer incase... She tore her letter of admission into Harvard University.
" So you're gonna burn that too?" asked Doug as he drank from a bottle of lemon soda, his arm was bandaged, he took a purple elixium pill to magically conceal his tail and look more human.
"got a problem with that?" said Nancy
"Nah, I always thought you were the i-know-all book type who end up as professors." answered Doug
She chuckled and said "funny"
"What's so funny?"
"nothing"
"you're so weird sometimes" said the goblin
"shut up goblin"
" you too nerd queen!"
"asshole!" returned Nancy
"bitch-ass!" said Doug.
They kept quiet for sometime. Nancy watched as everything about her old self turn into ashes, she had been burnt and was ready to be reborn.
"Doug?"
"what"
"You haven't told me the real reason why the monster wanted me, I know I'm not a supposed hybrid of a Supremer. I am still human"
"OK, listen because I won't repeat myself. The universe is held together by a cosmic tree called the Mother- Tree, it connects all worlds together with the limbo. Actually heaven is at the top of the tree, and the material world or middle world which is this world is located at the middle. The mother-tree grows a special type of fruit in heaven called a god-fruit, supremers feed on these fruits"
"so how's that got to do with me?" Nancy asked.
"The god-fruit takes 2000 years to rippen, sometimes it falls down to the middle world. To celestial beings like supremers it serves at food but to mortals like us it gives us divine powers when consumed.You must have consumed one that why you're as powerful as a supremer"
"that's why the Mantis wanted to eat me because a god-fruit was in me?"
"seems so" Doug said as he finished his soda.


Nancy and her new partner/enemy called Doug left Lakeside town by sundown, they were going on a journey to a world called Heaven :the City of Gold. As for Nancy many things await her, can she endure her new destiny?.

Somewhere in Osaka, Japan, ... 10.PM
Hiroya Nakaba, a Twenty Three year old NEET( Not in Education, Employment or Training) sat in his messy room playing an anime MMORPG, he scratched his rough stubble and adjusted his glasses. For six years Hiroya had been in his apartment watching hentai, playing online MMO games and consuming ramen noodles, he had become very fat. His lifestyle was against the Japanese way of life which consisted of hard work and diligence but he didn't care,
His large belly growled, "need more ramen"(said in Japanese) he paused his game and struggled to get to the fridge, for food he was ready to sacrifice his wasted time. Unfortunately his fridge spelt empty,
he cursed in Japanese, his mother was yet to send him money, does she want him to starve to death? Suddenly the power went off and everywhere went dark, it was unusual because Osaka district never lacked electricity. Hiroya's laptop was still on but the Internet connection had also gone down.
" BANG!!" something hit his roof, in fear he took a baseball bat and a torchlight to see what want wrong. Behold a rainbow coloured apple stood on his roof,
"huh" he looked around but there was no tree and no one would have thrown such a peculiar looking fruit, hiroya's belly growled again and without thinking he bit the rainbow coloured apple... he ate a god-fruit, his life was about to change. Suddenly his eyes glowed, his mouth began to foam and an halo radiated over his head, the electricity. came back, in 60 seconds the whole Japan and Asian parts received unlimited power supply from an unknown source called Hiroya Nakaba.

Chapter 7: Father of All Lies
"Brian Ralph Walker, died august 2015... isn't that hilarious?" a man read from the gravestone.
<I don't know> answered a whispering voice
"oh I've forgotten you're a spirit. Not that you have any sense of humour"
< am I a spirit?>
"ughh forget it" the man said irritated
<the plan didn't turn out as you plotted> said the voice. The shadow under the man began to move, it was obvious it was the one speaking.
" I know, but it took an interesting turn. I thought giving the girl a god-fruit was already a bad investment but I'm glad I gave it a trial "
<by killing your human wife and faking your death?>
"wrong, the Mimic- Mantis did that. But in a way I was loosing patience that my experiment had failed and I opened a time-eating hole for the beast"
<that was rash Mr Walker> said the shadow
Brian Walker looked down at the shadow, he was an handsome man with a blonde hair. He was the adoptive and loving father of Nancy Walker who claimed to be dead, this time he had an halo over his head but it was black and radiated impurity.
"as an Anti-Supremer no one has the right to dodge my actions. I thought Nancy had failed and tried to kill her and extract the fruit back" said Brian Walker
<Mr Walker I saw her turn the Mantis into dust>
"don't call me by that human name, I am Raphelius" the Anti-Supremer said"blending with humans is so irritating, they are weak,cheap, gullible and easy to buy.For someone like me I could kill a handful if not restrained"
<what is our next plan> asked the shadow
"hmmm, I could have to pause a little while and observe Nancy.Let's see how she's able control her ability to a certain extent" answered Raphelius
<but what of the goblin? he looks pretty strong. He won't be an hindrance?>
Raphelius laughed and said "That lowly creature has a criminal record, if he misbehaves he would be going to the Abyss for another ninety years"
It's been up to a thousand years since I fell from Heaven, now I and the others shall watch Heaven fall. I may I've lost half of my powers but the night king shall restore it back" he told the shadowly spirit.
<night is black and full of darkness>
"night is black, yes and night shall become the new light. I and my brothers await" Raphelius laughed.

Chapter 8: Dragon Gold:
Nancy and her new companion took greyhound bus from New Mexico to Texas, they stopped at Gold -ville town. Doug stretched out his body, it wasn't easy to seat in a bus staring at the dusty highway.
"Gold -ville town was famous for it's gold mine in the early 19th century till it collapsed in 1946. The town's yet to recover from the loss of the biggest goldmine in America." said Nancy.
"Is that what you think?" smirked the goblin.
"hey don't look at me thick-head I don't write history books" Nancy chided back
"humans know too much but understand very little" Doug only said

The town looked very ordinary, it was said that around august the town suffered from series of earthquakes. The duo ate at a measly diner.
"ain't you finishing your meal?" asked Doug who was fingering his teeth with a toothpick
Nancy blushed "I'm watching my weight. I don't want to be fat like her in the future" she was referring to the fat waitress who was working.
"then how's your breast gonna grow?" the goblin loved to tease the girl.
A thinner waitress came forward to collect their bill, Doug fished out a crumpled wad of money a paid for the food then he brought out a tiny golden rock which he handed over to the waitress, in return she gave him a large red bean -shaped candy and left. He consumed the candy as if nothing had transpired, the marveled Nancy just stared, "did you just exchange gold for a piece of candy?"
"that's not an ordinary candy, it's what we call a pixie, candies with magic potentiais embedded in them" answered Doug.
Nancy finally understood, the reason why no human knew Doug was a goblin was because he took pixies to disguise himself.
"what of the gold? How did you get it get it?"
"first of all we non-human don't use that green paper your kind call money" said Doug as they were about to leave the diner " Dragon gold is our own currency" he brought out another gold rock and threw it into the air before catching it
"and were is Dragon gold mined?"she asked
"it's not mined, it's gotten from a real dragon and there's one in this town"
Nancy's hair rose in alarm "how can something as dangerous as a dragon be hiding in gold -ville!?

Chapter 9: Into The Dragon Cave
Well as earlier said, humans know too much but understand very little may be correct in the case of Gold- -ville town. History recorded that the town had abundant gold and bulit the biggest goldmine in the United States which collapsed due to a mysterious earthquake. What people don't know is that the town never had any natural resources to start with but the source of gold came from an unnamed 700 year old dragon that lived in an underground cave right in gold-ville. The mayor of the town back in 1928 discovered this secret and wanted to build a name for himself and the town.He constructed the largest goldmine in America, this brought the town fame and glory as everyone moved in due to the gold rush until 1946 during a mining operation the dragon awoke, disturbed from it's sleep sent a mighty roar in rampage and the mine with it's workers above it came crashing. That day over three hundred lives were lost and it was a tragedy, till this day the ruins of the collapsed mine of 69 years still remains with the great dragon asleep and unknown.

"Now that we're at the ruin is it right to disturb the peace of this fabled dragon?" asked Nancy.
Doug crushed the empty can of lemon soda and answered "yeah, I told you pure dragon gold is the currency we non humans accept and use, only humans give value to painted pieces of paper and call it money.Then they kill themselves over it."
"mind you this isn't a bank I'm not going to join you to do anything stupid. So I'll stay outside, just be careful and come out alive." Nancy warned feeling disturbed.
Doug sat on the ground and said stubbornly "well you have supremer abilities why do I have to be the one to die? I'm not going without you"
At that point Nancy wanted to tear the goblin apart, "what!? stop acting like a child and get up! we are almost broke!!"
Doug who was singing the lyrics of a rock music he remembered answered, " then stop behaving like a princess, didn't you say women should have the same right with men ? well that means women should be entitled to die like men also "
After fifteen minutes she finally agreed
"OK I'll get into the dragon cave with you to get some gold but don't provoke me"
Doug's face broke into a crooked smile "sure thing ma'am" he bowed forward "ladies first"
"Hey! aren't you supposed to lead?"
"I'm only doing what gentlemen do, right?. Don't worry I'm right behind you"
"keep your sorry ass to yourself I can protect myself! but don't provoke me again or you will dealing with someone fiercer than a dragon" an halo began to form over her head and she entered the collapsed mine.

Chapter 10: Adventure Underground
"Have you done this before?," Nancy asked
"sure, twice in 1932 I was a miner in this mine" said Doug
"OK"
Both had entered the old mine, carrying with them rechargeable lamps and extra food they were ready for a journey underground.
"so what do I need to know about this dragon cave? are there monsters or boogey traps?" she asked again as they got deeper into the mine.
"more or less... there's bad news and there's good news... "
"start with the good news!" ordered Nancy
" Well dragons are the laziest creatures on the Middle world, everything they do in their lives revolves around eating and sleeping. They are known to sleep for up to centuries"
"and the bad news,"
"Underground is full of dangerous creatures and some funny enchantments. Only the strong may survive" the goblin said
"and who told you I'm weaker" Nancy raised an eyebrow

They entered a broken mine lift which took them deeper down below the mine, the temperature of the earth began to increase and darker it became. They started the flashlight and checked around, it was full of fossils and rocks. Deep down seemed more wider and spacious, on the walls we're rough drawings like those of prehistoric cave painting. Pictures of large reptiles and giant ants , some were words written: THEY LIVE, HELP US!!, SOS!, MONSTERS!!. These sent chills around Nancy's spines.
"these were probably the last messages sent by unlucky humans who failed to make it out of here alive, this is kind of their warning for they've seen what they couldn't live to tell." explained Doug
There was a tunnel which lead straight ahead, it had large holes bored around it, Doug brought out his compass but the globe at the middle didn't appear,it seems there was no signal underground. Nancy felt like Indiana Jones on an adventure in an unknown world, suddenly a skeleton dressed in mining uniform and hardhat fell from one the holes above the tunnel, my it was covered in dust and cobwebs around it's ribcage and skull.
"kyaaaa!" she screamed in horror.
Then Doug cupped her mouth "ssshhh, whatever you do don't make us known"
Out of the holes giant ants like the ones that had attacked back in lakeside town crawled out around the duo with their mouth parts ready for lunch. Doug picked up an abandoned rusty pickaxe and flashed it at them but that didn't scare them till he smashed one flat with it.
"Damn we entered the territory of mega-ants"
"what of your shotgun?" asked Nancy
"broke when I fought the mimic mantis"
"what pixies do you have with you?" she asked again
"two, one is fire element, the other is for nullifying magic"
"good.give me the fire element candy"
"what?!"
"do you realize we're surrounded by hundreds of flesh eating ants, trust me I know what I do"
He passed the red candy to her, Nancy focused her energy and an halo formed over head. She consumed the candy and she began to feel an hot energy forming on her throat.
Like a dragon, she released fire from her mouth at them , it was ten times hotter that the mega-ants fled for safety leaving Nancy and Doug.
"and that's a good waste of magic ladies and gentlemen" commented Doug "but that's smart thinking"
Suddenly they heard hissing sounds coming from the walls of the tunnel. Smoke began to emerged from the walls turning the remaining mega-ants into fossils
"The monsters... they were petrified into fossils!" cried Nancy
"That's petrification gas it turns one into fossil if inhaled!!. Let's run before it gets to us!" The left the area.

Chapter 11: How to Rob a Dragon:
They both managed to escape the gas, but they reached a mysterious destination... an underground railway which bridged a pool of larva, the earth began to tremble as they crossed over
"we are getting closer to the sleeping dragon, but we should be careful not to wake it or the human civilians up there will suffer it."
They crossed a path full of skeletons, human and animals probably former meals of the dragon.
The earthquake became more intense as they got closer... behold was the great dragon. Do not be deceived, dragons were not graceful creatures that dominated the sky and breathed flames, but rather the opposite... more like fat dinosaurs that lived underground. The dragon was massive and 1578cm long, it resembled a giant six legged crocodile with a plates on it's spine and spikes and horns around it's tail. It's scales were hard as steel.It had no wings.
The temperature of the earth rose , as the beast snored loudly, around it was a pool of larva and gold rocks.
"dragon gold" gasped Doug, "we're god damn rich!"
This was the first time Nancy had see so much gold, stepped closer to the sleeping beast as she moved stepped on a runic symbols printed on the ground, it made an hissing sound and began to turn red..."
oh shit! that's a land mine, get off!!" Doug screamed, in a moment Doug pushed Nancy off and the land mine exploded.
"KA-BOOM" the place shook and dragon opened it's eyes, "GRAAA!!!!!" the beast roared in rage and the place thundered.
"no way! the dragon has woken up!!" Nancy cried "let's leave or else we die and the town will suffer an earthquake!!"
"not a chance girl!!" Doug refused and his tail grew with it's sting flashing "I'm not leaving without my gold"
"don't be stupid Doug, fighting a dragon is suicide! nothing can beat a dragon!"
Instead of fire the dragon emitted a acidic larva, which the goblin dodged with impressive agility and doggedness. Doug had no plan in mind and no magic could penetrate through the dragon's skin.
Nancy took the magic nullifying pixie and came between the both, the beast released another acid larva on the girl but she came up unburnt.
" I resisted your magic" Nancy told the dragon "your powers are useless against me" she said this with bravery and calmness. It stopped it's rage and looked at the girl with it's large green eyes, as if it understood what she was saying then it nodded and went back to sleep.
Doug starred open mouthed "how did you do that?"
"Idiot, I took a magic nullifying candy and blocked the dragon's magic. Because this was the first time someone had survived it's acid attack, it thinks I'm some god so it surrendered and went back to sleep. To fight an enemy you must know his power and if you can't beat him intimidate him.Dragons are naturally peaceful creatures" she continued "and if you had gone head-on to fight we would have been burnt to ash and goldville town would have suffered a massive earthquake"
Doug looked at Nancy, she may be bossy and proud but she was intelligent. They packed enough dragon gold into their backpacks and the goblin led a secret underground road , which had a door at the end. As they passed through they were in a tiny kitchen, it resembled that of the diner where they ate.
In the kitchen was the waitress who had sold the pixie to Doug, except that this time she had hind legs of a donkey with hooves, the upper half of her body was human. She was busy slicing vegetables, when they entered.
"this is the same diner as earlier, how is it connected to the dragon cave?" Nancy asked.
The lady looked at Nancy and said "I never knew you were affiliated with humans, Doug"
"Not so Magra, she's of different stock. But we succeeded in getting some money"
"I don't know how you managed to outwit that beast but your love for money never changes" said Magra as she worked "it's night fall already you two should be leaving, I'm busy"

Both left the town ready to go to Texas, but before then...
In front of the porch of Goldville orphanage, an old nun working there noticed an heavy backpack, what she saw inside made her almost faint. It was full of rocks made of pure gold...

"What happened to the other gold?" Doug asked as they entered a greyhound bus
"...lost it"
Nancy stared at the full moon, wondering how the supernatural forces could blend with humans just like the Doug, Magra, and the underground dragon but never be noticed. The world was full of wonders.
"Who's that Magra anyway?" she asked
"oh, she? she's a Natyrr, creatures who love to work"
"What is dragon gold really made from?"
"Yeah, it comes from dragon droppings" said Doug
"What?!!!!"

Chapter 12: St Titus Home For Socially Troubled Lads.
" This is St Titus, a home for socially deprived lads it is an institution where young men are brought up and bred with the teachings of the Lord and with a taste of the rod. Yes, the rod is not spared from the backs of those who heed not to listen to the teachings of the Lord and the elders, for they will guide him like a compass and keep his path straight. For fair hearing this is not a charitable organization, we cut off the tails of stubborn boys and remould them into successful men the country will admire. We shall not tolerate sarcasm, pervertism, laziness, stealing ,mischief and others. Am I clear? " Father Theodore ended.
"sir is boob sucking allowed? " an anonymous person asked from the crowd of young men the director was addressing and they burst into laughter. Theodore's cold face remained solid, when laughter died down he said "indiscipline, pure undisciplined. Who ever said that, the Lord forgives you but this shall be your last warning, discipline is our motto . Am I clear?."
"Heil Hitler!! " the boys chanted
Father Theodore the disciplinarian left. The institution was managed by him, it was a place meant for handling delinquents normal schools couldn't. Gone where the days when the most hardened delinquents shivered when threatened with the chance of going to the Institution for only a year, back then St Titus was the hell and Father Theodore was the devil. Now the new generation of lads were mostly spoilt brats and sex offenders, they were stubborn in a new wave and had no fear.
He walked into his office where his latest victim Spock Henric was seated waiting for him.
"hello sir " the boy greeted
"hello? is it for yourself or your friend. Greet properly. " the man instructed
"Good morning father Theodore" Spiderman corrected himself
Theodore grunted and rearranged the silver crucifix placed on the wall "what is good about the morning when you violated the law and brought porn magazine into our holy citadel of learning! " he slammed an issue of playboy magazine on the table.
"when I saw the obscene immoral pictures of these item I almost wanted to pluck off my eyes lest it leads me to sin. As for your punishment you shall clean the lavatory for a fortnight and it must be 99.9% germ free. You can go "
Spock was quite different from everyone, he was fourteen and quite short for his age, he had large, catlike ears and big green eyes. Top of that he was dyslexic, his foster parents named him Spock because of his strange look, after they couldn't cope with his academic and social disability he was moved to St Titus, well...
"Hey spoddy ain't you gonna play with us ?" someone threw a baseball at him, it was Craig his long time friend, as he walked to his dormitory.
"no can't do. I got punished by the Saint of Hell(Theodore's nickname )"
"too bad, what are you gonna do alien" his friend asked
"I dunno, just gonna run away from here and sail the galaxy." Spock said

Later that night, Father Theodore went into the basement where a secret lab was set. He brought out a jar which contained a strange creature, a long brown centipede with eight eyes on it's back, on the jar was inscribed HELLWORM. Apart from Spock, this was the second creature that had defied the laws of biology. He began his experiments

Chapter 13: Gun Magic
After days in the city of Odessa, Texas Doug and Nancy checked out their seedy hotel and continued their journey.
They reached Daveport, a town full of oil wells and refineries... unlike the previous town where the source of gold was from a dragon. "You've not yet told me what a limbo looks like " said Nancy as they walked the streets of Daveport. It was evening.
"we're right in front of one" Doug answered , they stopped in front of an old abandoned garage door.
"this is a garage, not a magic portal " she looked at the goblin. Doug dusted the door and revealed a ¢ symbol.
"limbos are secretly embedded, they come in form of doors and these doors can only be open with a key. Watch this." He took a breath and chanted the numbers
"455299143" as he did so the ¢ symbol glowed and the numbers appeared on the door. He opened the garage door, instead of a garage it was a straight dark hall path.
"whoa! " Nancy exclaimed aghast
"that is a limbo, a road that cuts through space and time to connect another realm. It can only be accessed through limbo doors"
They entered the limbo,as they got further light bulbs illuminated the path. At the end of the limbo there was a door which wrote J
BARNABAS STAINLESS WEAPON AND WONDERS

They entered the room which turned out to be a workshop, they saw a man or rather a creature. The first halve of his body was human while his waist down was that of donkey, he wore a flannel shirt and a cowboy hat and had a grey curly moustache . The creature was chewing a tobacco while fixing a broken radio.
" hey Barnabas ! got some time to spare? " Doug interrupted his work and he looked and smiled
"Howdy there, I've got a lotta time as far it is business " Barnabas said in a western accent.
Doug put his hands in his pocket and said "I came to get another gun from you "
Barnabas twisted his moustache "sure you can get any type of gun here if you've got money . So modern or classic "
"classic"
Re: Limbo (fantasy) by 1mmanuel(m): 7:36pm On May 25, 2017
Barnabas was a creature known as s clockworker, they resembled humans with donkey hooves and they had an uncanny ability to create and repair gadgets. Barnabas had a workshop where he sold and repaired magic weapons known as bang-riffles.
The world had changed and everything was going modernized, so were the methods of performing magic art. Bang-riffles were magic guns through which attacking magic were released at the will of the user, just like bullets these weapons were refilled with stardust according to the sort of magic used. This art was known as gun magic.
There where posters of swim suit models posted around the workshop, and the most amazing part of the place were the gremlins, there were hundreds of them caged around and running on wheels their kinetic energy was powered into providing electricity for the place. Barnabas started a rusty country music from the fixed radio, he spat away the tobacco he was chewing and noticed Nancy for the first time.
"My my you've gotten yourself a fine damsel haven't you Doug?" he said as he took off his hat and greeted by taking a gentleman bow "pardon my misconduct, but you're a beautiful miss from the human lands. May I be honoured to know your name? "
Nancy blushed, it was awkward and funny that no human male had ever been bold enough to woo her as the clockworker had done. She was about to say her name when Doug broke in
"her name's is Nancy and she's off limits...and virgin" he said as he inspected the guns.
"whoo hoo ! I like virgins, especially young and pretty ones with long hair and big titties" Barnabas was already peering at Nancy's breasts while twisting his moustache, she began to blush again.
"pfft, I thought you loved blonde Texan strippers " Doug sarcastically commented. while checking the guns.
"that was in 1892, now the streets of America is crawling with feminists" Barnabas said
"OK let me try this one " Doug selected a Bang-riffle, it was in the form of a shotgun like the one he had used to battle the mimic-mantis. He loaded it, aimed and fired
"BOOM!! " the force that came out sent him flying backwards, instead of a bullet a glowing beam of energy shot out.
" Doug are you alright?! " Nancy asked in concern
"yeah"he stood up then he looked at the gun smiling "how much is this one?"
Barnabas wore his cowboy hat again "that one's called the Armageddon, it fires over 30watts of energy. Don't go on a battle with it if you can't use it... well but I'll give it to you at 50 karats of gold "
"what of thirty? "
"fifty"
"thirty five ?"
"fifty "
"thirty six and a half?
"OK I'll give you at forty... on one condition,you help me with something "
Doug stretched his tail as he listened to Barnabas "bring it "
"Rumors have it that the Yhwaks are plotting to take over Texas because humans have polluted and depleted their lands"
"so how does human affair affect us?" Doug asked.
"that's the boring part goblin, the Yhwaks have a large reserve of stardust hidden in their territory at Wilsonville county, very powerful and plan to use it . I want you to get for me"
The goblin scratch his head "so you want me to infiltrate into the Yhwak territory and steal an ancient stardust energy for you to forge some powerful weapon right? "
"do as I say fourteen days and I'll you give you the Armageddon plus reveal some of the secret techniques of gun magic for free. We have a deal? " The clockworker stretch his arm forward and Doug shook his hand.
"Doesn't sound bad "
Nancy watched as both made an agreement, she didn't know whether to stop or encourage Doug on this mission, but one thing was certain. The Yhwaks were not an easy force.
Barnabas handed Doug a bang-riffle similar to Armageddon for his mission "this is Shooting Star 11.5, also lethal but a little rusty in the edge.Just come back alive and keep the lovely damsel safe"
They left the workshop and crossed the limbo back to the real world.

Chapter 14: Hellworm
Remember our new friend Spock? He stays at St Titus Home For Socially Deprived Lads, under the regime of Father Theodore. Our host father Theodore Grante was once a leading biologist under the flag of the Vatican, he served the Pope John Paul II but after his demise the bishops of St Peters Square saw Grantes interest in Darwin's works on higher species and evolution as disturbing and detrimental to the Roman Catholic Church. So he was sent to the United States to manage an institution, that didn't stop his interest from fading.
Recently he had been conducting experiments on a creature he bought from an undisclosed black market called an Hellworm, though he was yet to come out with an hypothesis, Theodore believed that the creature held uncanny abilities humanity was yet to know. As it is said "a man forsaken by God tends to strike a deal with the devil ".

"hey! be quiet! " someone whispered in the dark. Three figures snuck tip toe into the basement at the middle of the night.
"what are we looking for? there's no demon here " another voice said.
the first voice whispered again "I wasn't cracking jokes when I said the Saint of hell keeps a demon pet. "
"and if we see the demon, do we take a selfie with it? " a familiar voice asked
"no! " the first two voices said in unison
"so what do we do? " asked the person
"Spock we kill it like heroes on TV "
Spock scratched his head, he had been convinced by his two friends Craig and Gustavo to go on "demon hunting ". But this was not his imagination of such, they had gone through the basement to find the Hellworm the fabled demon.
Behold the Hellworm which crawled around it's jar prison, what hidden terror could this creature hold?

Getting to the secret lab they saw charts on Theodore's recent research and articles on transhumanism, there were body parts of dead animals in jars preserved by strange smelling chemicals, also was there a chemical preserved corpse of a lamb in a jar.
"sure speaks well of a principal " said Gustavo who brought out a camera and began to take pictures of the lab and it's properties
"this will fetch us money and freedom as soon as we blackmail him "
"sure " Craig agreed "he's not stupid not to realise how these evidence will ruin his career. I can only imagine the look on his face when he finds out his dirty little secret has been opened."
"if he doesn't comply to our offer, he'll have lot to loose while we will have more to gain. Let this get to the CNN, the whole Texas will be on fire " Gustavo continued taking pictures.
Craig Willers and Gustavo Mendez are both sixth grade students a year above Spock, they were both delinquents before enrolled in this special institution in Texas. Craig comes from a wealthy home but when he raped one of the younger maid working in the the mansion and sold his stepfather's precious Toyota Cresta to buy crack , he found himself in St Titus. Gustavo was raised up by a latina single mother in Los Angeles so he was exposed to the criminal world and wanted to be part of the notorious MS-13 gang. Gustavo and his buddies robbed a stall and beat up the clerk who was Islam, well they were caught by the LAPD and Gustavo was sentenced by court order to serve penitentiary at St Titus in Texas.
Spock was at the institution because of his poor leaning skills and also because his parents were ashamed of his appearance,though he was fifteen Spock resembled a twelve year old boy, he had large feet that he had to walk barefooted and finally his cat ears. Spock had been a subject of ridicule and bullying in past years, though it's still a mystery why he was named after a Star Trek character. Craig and Gustavo were one of the few persons who accepted him because of his odd look and willingness to please anyone.
