Chapter 4: Cheat Code Accepted: To the Boss Level A white flash. No matter where or when you were on Planet Prudence, you saw it. The sky seemed to fold back in on itself. It crumbled like paper, like a story closed halfway through. The planet itself seemed to tremble and quiver, and then...

U P S T A I R S "I am not commanding..." The voice hushed weakly. "I'm asking you... begging you... please..." A young woman emerged from the blackness of the hall. Every stumbling step she took was accompanied by a wince and a pained grunt. She did her best to steady herself against the hall's...

G A R D E N - C A V E The fourth reliquary opened with a long, pitchy creak. It's hinges were strangers to use. As soon as Alice removed her hand from the door, it fell off of the case in a single, clean motion. What had started out as a quick peek instead revealed the contents of the reliquary...

G A R D E N A closer inspection of the gravestones revealed a small passage of text sat upon each one. The largest, centermost stone was marked with the word 'An'Kag'. Despite its now crumbling state, the object had clearly been constructed with a notable degree of care. It hadn't been...

T H E - G A R D E N The Garden of the Goddess was cleaner than the rest of the battlefield. Where the rest of the Tomb's trespassers had been evacuated in a sudden burst of the Goddess' magic, leaving their war machines and comrades to rot where they fell, the Gardens appeared to have been...

G2 FINALE: G O D P R A Y E R Falling asleep is harder now. You've seen things. Done things. Whenever you close your eyes, those things infiltrate your dreams. They twist them into nightmares. Neither drink nor medication nor prayer seem to banish them. Those things remain. They haunt. They hurt...

H E L L The gory storm sent forth by the minions of chaos was matched by an equally valiant defense by the one man too loyal, brave or foolish to turn-tail. The God of War, chained and bound to the will of An'Lu'Munus, had never shown his back to a foe, and his enslavement was not about to alter...

PRE-HISTORY ZONE The Pre-History Zone was hot, uncomfortably so. The air was thick with humidity. It was difficult to think beneath the cruel gaze of the planet's Suns. Their rays were hotter than ever, their burning fingers unfiltered by the layer of smog that stained the skies of the future...

Heads. A golden light burned the retinas of Beau and Silque. With the light, came heat. With heat, came agony. Screams filled their lungs. Terror filled their hearts. After one, final, seemingly endless moment of life, the spark of the Goddess that lingered within the pair was extinguished like...

C H A M P I O NS - O F - T H E - A R E N A THE STORY SO FAR Some time ago, at the behest of peoples unknown, the madman known only as Arcade set out to create a scene of depravity and wickedness the likes of which the world had not yet scene. His twisted reality show, Champions of the Arena...

"I dunno..." Dante shrugged. "I kinda like him the way he is. It's cute." The Demon squatted down beside the decapitated head. With a squint in his eye, he gave it a once-over. A smirk crept across his lips. "Yeah... the way he is now? He'd make a nice pet. Might not be good for walkies, but...

[Vos sunt non solum] [I am Birth and I am Death. I am Secret and I am Truth. I am Forsaken and Free.] [I am the Other. Vos sunt non solum.] "The bitter end is here, child. Do not be afraid..." The Goddess' heavy eyes hid from the boy's gaze. "I can see your thoughts, my son. I see them cower. I...

E X P E D I T I O N It all happened so quickly. A flash from the Avatar's eyes. A spark from Matrix's gun. A wave of dusty and the roar of falling stone. Your senses were besieged. Overwhelmed. In the wake of the crescendo, darkness crept. The cries of the Worms grew muffled. The screams of your...

TRUTH [Wrong.] [Wrong.] [Wrong again.] [Very wrong.] [And taxes, but that's hardly relevant now. You just scored zero for five. No gold star for you.] The Librarian tutted. [You performed about as well as I expected, though. Can't say I'm disappointed. I never expected you to understand.]...

T H E N "You problem comes with a very simple solution, Your Majesty..." The General presented Zuko with a smarmy grin. "We'll take the beasts off of your hands." His tone grew deep, unintentionally so. The honey that he had once coated his words in was gone. Each syllable was bitter. Blunt...

"Of course I want to control all I survey!" The Goddess howled in triumph. "Look at what you've done with the gifts the Gods have bestowed upon you! We gave you wisdom and glory, and you twisted them into terror and hate. You're breaking your toys, Returned. It was only a matter of time before...

Crack Nina's head struck the table. It wasn't a bang. It wasn't a bonk. It was a gut wrenching, unceremonious crack. The table shattered around the young thief's forehead. Crimson stained the wooden shards that scattered before her flailing form. She didn't respond to the knee Maddie planted in...
