Chapter 4: Crossing The Desert Part 1

As the Ordo Drakkonis managed to recover a 1 out of the 5 missing pieces for the fossil, they were ready to head out to the Arabian Desert.

Execumancer: Are everyone packed up? Cause it's gonna get hot there.
Drakor: We sure are, we ain't got time to waste and get this thing over with.
Dratis: Once Lindworm is gone we will bask in glory.
Execumancer: Did anyone ask your opinion Dratis, if not then shut up.
Zeighar/Draghar: Yeah.

Execumancer then opened a Cosmic portal and the team went inside it.

The scene then cut to Lindworm as he sensed the Ordo Drakkonis.

Lindworm: The Ordo Drakkonis are on the move.
Max: Where to?
Lindworm: The Arabian Desert.
Roost: Then let us head there.

Lindworm nodded and he opened a portal and the heroes entered inside.

Edgar: The Arabian Desert is our next stop? That could ruin my pale skin.
Colette: Even if your skin did change color it wouldn't make a diffrence.
Mani: Umm hello aren't we all trying to stop some evil monsters?

Edgar turned to glare Mani Pulate but then Kaori stepped in between the 2.

Kaori: I agree with Mani, enough with skin colour discussions.

Edgar rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Edgar: Whatever.
Brock: Yo Lindworm how long till we get there.
Lindworm: Shortly Brock.

Then suddenly another portal opened and they went outside of it and they were in an environment surrounded by sand and a hot weather.

Crow: And here we are.
Jozef: Master Lindworm, if I may ask what's they're next piece here?
Lindworm: They are searching for a pair of 2 fossilized arms, I imagine that they must have split up in diffrent teams to find the arms.
Surge: Well shall we split up too?
???: I'm afraid that would a fatal mistake.

They turned around and saw Execumancer, Drakor and Dratis.

Mani: Look who decided to show up.
Execumancer: I knew you would come to us, not much of a surprise that you are being lead by someone that can easily sense Cosmic energy throughout this universe.
Bea: Weren't there 5 of you?
Execumancer: Yeah, but I sent those idiots to search for one half of the fossils while we search for the other until we stumbled upon you. And now I can get to finish what I started with you all, especially you Manuel Pule.
Mani: I go by the name Mani Pulate now jackass.

Drakor then roared as he hit the ground with his spear and a casm was formed and it went straight for the team.

They all managed to make it out of it.

Brock: Jokes on you pal, you ain't got metal to use since we're in the middle of a desert!
Execumancer: There may not be metal here but I still control magnetic waves.

He then created a magnetic wave and then fired it at the heroes but Lindworm then protected them from it.

Max: Alright, let's kick they're asses!

She then used her superspeed to charge at Execumancer but he moved aside and missed him.

She turned around and fired shots from her bracelet but he blocked them.

Kaori: Wait, he said that Zeighar and Draghar were sent to search on a fossil. Can you locate them where they are?

Roost nodded and he used his locator but there was no connection.

Roost: Bad connection, sorry.
Kaori: Guess I'll have to find them the old fashion way.

She then ran to find the two.

Mani: Wait, you'll get lost or something.
Kaori: I have no time to talk.

Then Execumancer used his powers to pull Mani Pulate.

Mani: Ayo, let me go!

Execumancer didn't listen as he grabbed him and then chucked Max whilst hitting her.

Surge: Not cool dude.
Brock: Hitting a girl ain't fair.
Execumancer: Dratis, shut them up!
Dratis: Yes sir.

He then used his wings to create sandstorm that began circling around them.

Lindworm then created a shelter for everyone.

Lindworm: Hurry, hide inside!

They all went to the shelter except for Max and Mani Pulate.

Crow: Eat poison fool!

He threw his daggers at Execumancer but Drakor passed him and reflected them back.

Execumancer then went to Max and Mani.

Execumancer: Time to die Mani.

He grabbed him by the neck.

Execumancer: Remember when I said I would kill you by throwing you in the air back in the past?
Mani: Yeah...
Execumancer: I lied...

He then shoved his head on the sand and began drowning him.

Execumancer: Drown in sand you moron.

Mani was choking.

Max got up and she then kicked away Execumancer's arm and then fired her shots at him.

Mani got up and coughed up the sand.

Max: Roost!

He nodded and he flew to charge and tackle Execumancer into the sandstorm that Dratis created.

But not before Execumancer could grab Mani by his cape and pulled him into the sandstorm as he laughed whe Mani screamed.

Max: No! Mani!

The two were inside the sandstorm.

Execumancer: No where to go now, if I die you are coming with me.
Mani: Says you.

He then kicked Execumancer away and tried to escape it but Dratis applied more force to the sandstorm.

Drakor: Oi, stop or your gonna kill Execumancer!
Dratis: I can't control it!

The sandstorm was so strong that is started sucking some of the heroes like Jozef, Edgar and Surge inside.

Lindworm closed off the barrier completely.

Lindworm: The sandstorm is too strong so I had to fully protect us from it.
Colette: Edgar!

The sandstorm then began spitting out the people that were inside.

Execumancer: DRATIS YOU FOOOOOOOOL!!!
Mani: Arghhhhh!!!

They both flew off in diffrent directions

Jozef managed to steer himself and grabbed Edgar with his hands.

Edgar: Thanks...
Wings: Don't mention it kid.

Jozef smiled.

Surge was in tier 2 as he had his wings.

Surge: That was close but we lost Mani.

They then landed on the ground and they surrounded Drakor and Dratis.

Dratis: Let's scram!
Drakor: You read my mind.

They then fled the scene.

Bea: Shall we go after them?
Max: Nah, they're not worth it. So are we missing someone?
Jozef: Only Mani cause of that sandstorm.
Roost: Kaori went to search for Draghar and Zeighar.
Crow: Which way did she go?

He pointed at South.

Colette: I say we split up into 2 teams. One goes to where Kaori was and the other one searches for Mani.
Brock: Good idea.
Lindworm: I shall go with Jozef and Bea by my side, you follow Kaori.

They nodded and they split up.

Zeighar was riding Draghar as the 2 were searching for the fossil.

Zeighar: Dude, you know what would be so rad?
Draghar: Ice cold lemonade?
Zeighar: Yeah! But it sucks that we're in the middle of a desert.
Draghar: Yeah but hopefully when we find the fossil we could get-

They heard screams.

Zeighar: You hear that? Those screams.
Draghar: Yeah it sounds like it's-

Mani then impacted Draghar's head and the dragon began losing balance and he fell off the air and landed on the ground.

Draghar: Oww..
Zeighar: You okay dude?

Draghar got up and shook his head and they turned to eye Mani who got up and dusted himself.

Draghar: Yo ain't that the small robot that Execumancer wants?
Zeighar: Yeah, how did you wind up here?
Mani: Your dumb friend Dratis caused a sandstorm and me and Execumancer flew into diffrent directions.

The 2 Ordo Drakkonis members turned around and they cackled.

Draghar: You thinking what I'm thinking?
Zeighar: Yeah, if we give this moron to Execumancer we could probably get a raise.

They chuckled and turned to face Mani.

Mani: Stay back, I'm warning ya!
Zeighar: What are you gonna do? Throw sand at us? You don't have any powers.
Draghar: But we do!

He them fired flames at Mani and he dodged them but suddenly he began falling from ground and into a huge hole that was camoflouged.

But he held on to a rock that was on the hole.

Draghar: Yo he fell into a hole.
Zeighar: We'll just tell Execumancer that the guy fell to his death- Wait wait! We can tell him that we killed Mani for him.
Draghar: That's rad bro.

Mani's mind: Dumbasses! Oh who am I kidding, I'm about to die.
Zeighar: Yo! What the hell are you?
Draghar: Hold on, is today April 1st?

Then suddenly screaming can be heared from the two along with punching sound effects.

Mani wondered what happened up there, suddenly Zeighar was thrown into the hole and began falling down.

Zeighar: Draghar!
Draghar: Imma coming bro!

He then flew down inside the hole and went to rescue Zeighar.

Mani then closed his eyes.

Mani: This is it... I'm dead...
???: Quickly, grab my hand!

He looked up but the sunlight was covering the figure's face.

Mani then looked closer and saw this man that was offering his hand to him.

Mani: What are you?
???: Grab my hand unless you want to fall like them.

Mani had no choice and grabbed the hand of the mysterious man and pulled the half robot up from the hole.

Mani then stood in front of the man as he was at least 5'11.

Mani: Thanks for the save.
???: Don't mention it.
Mani: Who are you by the way?
Mortis: I'm Mortis and you are?
Mani: Mani, Mani Pulate.
Mortis: It's a pleasure to meet you. What are you doing here in the middle of this desert?
Mani: Well me and my friends whom are heroes traveled here to stop a evil group from killing my boss, apparently they're looking for fossils.

Mortis placed a hand on his chin.

Mortis: Interesting.
Mani: May I asm what are you? You don't seem to look like a human.
Mortis: Funny you asked, I'm a vampire.

Mani was confused.

Mani: But I thought that-
Mortis: Yes, we can't go out on daytime but I managed to cast a sun protection spell on myself to be protected from the sun for the rest of my eternity.
Mani: How did you wind up here?
Mortis: Ever since the Romanian village I lived back in the past found out that I was bitten by a bat and it turned me into a vampire. They tried to kill me but my wife helped me escape the Romania but she died in the end. And now I fled to the place of the unknown and live in Isolation where I hunt to survive.
Mani: Wait are you gonna-
Mortis: No, I won't kill you. Why would I, I see good inside you, while those hooligans were evil so they bad to be disposed of.

Mani crossed his arms.

Mani: And how did you tell that I was good?
Mortis: I'll tell you more about it on the way.

Then suddenly Draghar and Zeighar flew up from the hole.

Zeighar: There they are! Scorch em!

Draghar blasted flames at them but Mortis pulled out a large arabian sword and sliced the flames in half.

Mani: Woah...
Draghar: How did he do that?
Mortis: My sword is fire prooved.

Zeighar then casted a purple lightning bolt at Mani but Mortis dashed through and shoved Mani away and reflected the bolt at the two and they were electrocuted and they fell on the ground with unconscious looks on they're faces.

Mortis: They should be out for a few minutes.
Mani: Thanks for saving me again I guess.
Mortis: Don't mention it kid.

He then helped Mani get up.

Mani: So where are we heading?
Mortis: To my tent not too far away so that you could rest up a little and tell me more about these people that are searching for these fossils.

Execumancer then landed on the middle of nowhere and he got up.

Execumancer: When I get my hands on that Dratis I'll pluck his wings out and shove them directly at his mouth.

He then stumbled upon something.

Execumancer: Huh...

He then dug up the ground and it was a fossilized hand.

Execumancer: One of the pieces eh? I guess today's my lucky day. Just hope those dunderheads possibly retrieved the 2nd piece.

OK guys, this was chapter 4.

Peace out!
