My Golden Orb!

BF?? lazy
But what Souji doesn't realize is that he has the wrong orb... Yeah... That's one down, three to go. Which one is the right one? And, by the way, my mutants carried my corpse to a witchdoctor in Africa and I was brought back to life.

It was nice having the Orb for a WHOLE WEEK!!
MY ORB!!!!!!!!

 

After getting home and analyzing the orb i figure out its the wrong one. Infuriated i sit down for a cup of coffee and try to calm down. I remember that the bullet i fired at BF(not lazy, creative) had a tracker. I track it to a witch doctor in the deep savanna of botswana. Fortunately enough i'm an expert in this type of environment. So i wait...3 days and 3 nights until all manner of land and air creature becomes accustomed to my presence. I eventually hear, while having lunch with some laughing hyeanas, that BF has met up with the resident witchdoctor.

I enter the compound late at night, having my eagle and owl buddies scouting for trouble and directing me away from danger. I enter BF's recovery room. She's stunned to see me and i hold up the remains of an inflatable orb. She snickers before i begin interorrgation that includes -censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored--censored!!!!!!

BF: Alright here!
Souji: Is this it? If it's not i will find you?
BF: Yeah yeah thats the one! please n-no more -censored--censored--censored-!

MY ORB!!!!!!

 

During Souji's return to confront Blackfire, Mercurial slipped into his home and sits in his favourite maroon armchair, entertaining herself with one of his Sudoku puzzles. Upon his late arrival, Merc has prepared two cups of hot chocolate. An old friend of Merc's, Souji is not surprised to see that she is making herself at home and slying places the orb in his righthand pocket.

"Why, hello, Souji," Merc says, standing from his seat, offering him both a mug and the same chair. "I've been waiting for quite some time; what have you been doing all day?"
Souji pays attention to the time-old saying that one must never trust a woman and avoids the mention of the orb which provides calm warmth against his side. He sits and edits, mentioning that he'd spent a great deal of time with his good 'friend' Blackfire today and described the scenery of Botswanna; but in this version, he was there on business.

Merc keeps him talking until his eyes grow droopy into the witching hour until he is nearly sleeping. She knows that now is her chance. She says sweetly, "Souji, you're so tired! Why dont you hand me that orb of yours. I'll keep it safe until morning so you dont roll over it in your sleep. You know me; I'm such a night owl."

The trust Souji feels in Merc and his sheer tiredness prompt Souji to pull the orb out of his pocket and place it into Mercurial's outstretched and more than willing hands.

She flees into the night; not even she knows where she will be by dawn.

It's my orb now.

 

Scythe was waiting out side the door. He had been sent by lord rippamate to retrive the orb. 'It would be a challenge' he had said, 'you will need stealth, subtleness and sneakiness.
Scythe stuck out his foot tripping this Mercurial character as she rushed out the door. The orb tumbled out of mercurials hands. Smoothly scythe licked the ball from out of the air.
'That wasn't so hard.' he smiled. He had the orb now. And soon it would be in the hands of Lord Rippamate.
Scythe disappeared into the shadows.

 

I wake up suddenly remembering how my place is devoid of any kind of feminine touch. The cushions are fluffy, the curtains are drawn! I run to the bathroom The toilet seat is down!!!!I quickly walk over to a panel next to the bathroom cabinet an press the big red button that says, ORB STOLEN! A red light fills my place and i hear a piercing scream from outside.

Satisfied i calmly walk to the monitors in my study with a cup of cold hot chocolate which i throw away with disgust. On one monitor i see the crafty Mercurial laying sprawled out on my welcome mat! On another i see a shady new character who seems to have caught himself in my patented Dark Shadows trap.

Souji: He thinks he can make an escape through the shadows eh? Not on my watch.

I press a button and a robotic arm extends to the shadowy character who pleads saying something about a Lord Rippa-something? The arm picks him up and shakes him down and the orb plops down to the floor and into a drain that leads to my office before a robotic foot extends outward, aims and kicks the fiend out of my sight. The same goes for Mercurial but since she is a lady i had to go down there myself and kick her out for leaving the seat down

MY ORBBBBBB!!!!!!

 

Ohho so more people want to play games eh, thought Scythe picking himself up of the hard ground. I guess lord rippamate was correct in paying as much he did.
Quickly and silently he scaled the wall to the souji's office window. The window was open. Scythe sighed, absent minded fools. He slipped in. walked casually up to the desk, where the orb lay so idly, and scooped the orb up.
Then as quick as a flash he slipped back out the window. With a flick of his hand he formed a shimmering form of himself and let it run in his opposite direction.
Meanwhile scythe was again in the shadows of the dark wood, grinning.
It was his orb now.

 

As i am caually changing into my jammies i here some shuffling from my office next door. i ruch in and a open window and cold breeze make me reach my conclusion quickly. i move to the window and see a dark figure running away. I quickly tap the wall three times and a rifle pops out. i take quick aim and shoot the figure and to my surprise he evaporates?

It's an obvious diversion and i decide to head in the opposite direction where the haunted forest is. I seldom like going in there at night but it appears i have to do it tonight. I quickly dress up and head out. I stand on the fringe and bow slightly while scratching my head,

Souji: Umm, sorry to bother ya but did some dude come through holding a bright golden orb by any chance.

I cower as i wait for the answer.....................a scream............burp.........and the orb flies out into my hands.

Souji: Thanks alot.
HauntedForestDude: That villains soul is but a little way above your head. If ever you disturb our peace again, your life will pay the forfeit.
Souji: Okay, Thanks again.
HFD: ......BURP!!!!!

MY ORB!!!!!!!!

 

Scythe patiently waited inside the haunted forest dudes stomach. His protective from digestive spell was working its brilliance. He needed a new plan.
Slowly, ever so slowly he sapped the energy from the HFD, sucked him dry. Soon he was standing in a pile of dust. Lord rippamate better have a bonus in this.
Scythe expelled the engery into the trees of the forest. Suddenly it was alive, and marching!
He watched as the forest moved over the house pounding it and everything in it to rubble. Scythe walked over the pile of ruin. Plucking it out of the hand of the dead (or unconcious) soujiroseta.
Scythe scaled up a large tree. As he and the forest marched, Scythe gripped the orb tight. Lord rippamate will have his orb!

 

Becca jumps from the branches of the tree where she had been hiding with her chain saw, hanging from a strap around her shoulders. She cuts off the limb that Scythe is holding onto. Causing him to fall to the ground, dropping the orb.
Becca flips through the air like a ninja, and rolls when she hits the ground. She grabs the orb, and tucks away her chain saw.
After grinning down at the stunned Scythe, she runs off through the woods singing.... "My shiny Orb! My shiny Orb!"

 

Scythe laughed at becca's pitiful attempts at stealing Lord Rippamate's orb. In one swift move he reganed his stride and release a bolt from the hidden crossbow strapped to his wrist.
The bolt thudded into the back of becca's hand, instantly making her scream in pain and drop the orb. In a flash he was by becca and had scraped up the orb.
Then he was off, flitting between the trees, that marched along in protection.
the trees sang. 'Its the lords orb, its the lords orb...'

 

BlackFire sits back and watches as the fools have it out. But what they do not know is that when the witchdoctor brought her back to life, she had the dear doctor give her powers. BlackFire. or BF, has two things on her mind. Firstly, the orb and secondly Souji and his cheesy movie lines . Since there is plenty of time to catch the sneaky Sythe, she moves in on Souji who is just now coming to. "Thought you got rid of me, didn't you?" she asks softly.
"You!" Souji groans.
"Are you feeling lucky, huh, punk?" BlackFire asks. Suddenly, she raises Souji into the sky with Air, one of five of her new powers, and electricutes him using the energy in the stormy air. Then, she takes his DVD player and says, "No more Pirates of the Carribean for you." Breaking it in two with Air, BlackFire throws it at Souji, and poor Souji is once again, unconscious.
Now, BlackFire returns to Sythe. His magic is strong, but they are evenly matched. Taking to the sky, BlackFire finds Sythe in the shadows. He's easily spotted because he's darker than the shadows around him. Swooping down, BlackFire lands with cat-like grace and says, "Bravo, Sythe," and claps her hands. "Lord RippaMate would be proud."
"What do you want?" he asks.
BlackFire laughs and summons the ball out of his hands using Air.
Sythe takes it back in one fliud motion with Air and smiles. "So you are experienced with the Power?"
BlackFire just looks at the sneak. "I will pay you three times what RippaMate is paying you for the orb," she says and pulls out a very very thick wad of cash.
Sythe considers her offer and ultimately gives the orb over to BlackFire with a smile. "If you should need anything stolen..."
"I'll give you a call," BlackFire replied and took off into the sky and to her new maximum security hideout where only she may dwell.

MY GOLDEN ORB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Lord rippamate sighed from his mountain keep. "sycthe sycthe scythe, you sneaky little eel.' Then when he saw what scythe was about to do he started to laugh. 'good times, good times.'

Scythe wisped the cash away into his indescructible and unstealable bank account. And looked to the sky, backfire was gone, with the orb. Thankfully he scored the oppurtunity to place a miniture teleportation defice on blackfire's clothing.
He drew his sleek sword and stuck it out in front of him.
'three... two... one...'
FWUMP! Blackfire was suddenly standing infront of scythe. Her eyes were wide. As they should be when one teleports onto an outstreached sword.
The golden orb rolled smoothly into scythe outstreched hand.
He smiled. 'Lord rippamate pays considerably well. Sadly he doesn't give bonuses.Thus i organise them myself.'
Scythe pulled his sword out of blackfire's body and let her slump to the ground.
'now i've hill to climb.
Scythe hooked it, he'd a hill climb, these interuptions were getting particularly vexing.
But after all it was lord rippamate's orb.

 

Becca watched the exchange between Scythe and BF, as she slowly crept closer and closer behind Scythe. She kept to the shadows so that she didn't catch BF's attention. She was too busy trying to buy the little weasel off.

Becca was surprised when he took the bribe. But, she was even more surprised when BF reappeared and was impaled on his sword.

Too bad for her, Becca thought.

Slowy Becca moved to block the path she was sure Scythe would be taking. He didn't even notice, he was so busy stabbing BF.

Once he started traveling to take the orb to his 'master', Becca tripped him, impaling him through the neck with the bolt that he had shot into her hand.

Quickly she grabbed the orb, and ran off into the forest as fast as she could. She knew from the display of powers that she had witnessed between Scythe and BF, that he prolly wasn't going to die. So she had to be quick and get away.

 

Sycthe felt his neck tighten, a strange sort of pressure beneath his skin. Suddenly the orb was gone.
He reached up to his neck and found a bolt stuck in it. Odd, he felt no pain. ussually bolts in neck emmit element of pain. Scythe pulled the bolt out. It was his own, becca the sly sneak, heh pity she didn't know that his could do harm to himself.
Scythe shrugged his shoulders. 'Well, i got my bolt back.'
He Scanned his surroundings. That becca was quick! Scythe smiled, well at least she was running in the right direction. Straight towards the foot of Lord rippamate's mountain.
Scythe decided to meet her there.

SOME TIME LATER:

Skillfully scythe had managed to get ahead of becca. And also skillfully was the trap layed. He watched with glee as becca ran straight into it.
Trip wire,
Thousands of crossbow bolts.
Scythe waltzed casually up to the stunned becca, bolts sticking out everywhich way.
He plucked the orb out of her fingers, and smiled. 'Cheer up, you've got a cute nickname now. Little miss Pincushion.'
Scythe turned and started to slink his way up the mountain. Lord rippamate will have his orb!!!

 

Becca's body fell to the earth, dead. But fortunately for her, her spirit rose out of her body to haunt the earth forever.

The first, she thought with a smile, would be that little scheming Scythe. She watched as he began to climb the mountain. Noticing that about half way up, there was an overhanging rock that created a small cave. That would be a wonderful spot to wait.

Becca floated up to the cave, loving that in her state of spirit, no one could see her unless she wanted them to. She waited patiently at the cave. Each time he tried to deviate from the course that would bring him to the little cave, becca would kick some rocks down, to make him turn the way she wanted.

As she expected he stopped at the cave to rest. When he sat, breathing heavily, and leaned his head back against the stones to rest. Becca laughed into the wind, whispering in his ear, that she would take the orb again.

Becca curled her spirit up inside the orb, and ripped it from his grasp. She and the orb levitate in the air, just out of his reach, beyond the drop off.

Giggling she and the orb floated back toward the forest, to find a safe hiding place.

 

Luckily, Othman was a graduated ghostbuster and with a zing and a zang and a lot of flashing lights and slime (becca, why'd you have to ruin my suit? Meh) becca was contained and Othman had the shiny Orb!

My orb! And my lame one sentence story! Woo!

 

One word: Nuke

MY ORB!!

 

Two words, Star Wars.
one sentence. Cops arrest Othman, who was still in possession of the orb, for using a proton pack without a license. They don't bring the orb with them. I pick it up.

 

Luckly scythe placed another miniature teleportation unit onto the orb.
SHHHUUUNKK!!! The orb was back in his possession.
Scythe continued to climb the mountain.

 

Becca ecapes from her containment.

"I am not a ghost you silly person you. I am a spirit. You can't capture my soul!" Becca declares laughing and evil haunting laugh into the wind.

Thinking that Scythe had again over thought himself, she went in search of him and the orb. Spying a halk resting in the trees, she decideds to embody it and flys to where Scythe is climbing.

Becca begins clawing violently at Scythe's face, ripping off his nose, and makes him drop the orb. She leaves the hawks body to grab the orb, and once again float away with her shiny prize.

Looking back she notices that the hawk got a yummy treat from her invasion of it's body. She just hopes that Scythe's nose doesn't make the hawk sick. That would be unfortunate for the innocent bird.

 

Throws RIPPA MATE into the parallel dimension that contains nothing but harem girls and picks up the orb.

 

Argh! Too slow!

Exorcises becca using his atheistic powers of disbelief in the afterlife! Picks up orb.

 

BlackFire is lying on the cold ground, feeling the blood drip from her body, trying to gather enough strength to Heal herself. After a moment, she rolls herself over and lets the flow of the Power wash over her and into her hands. In just a few moments, BlackFire is Healed. Sighing, she looks out across the landscape. A huge mushroom cloud can be seen in the distance and an evil cackle echos from the mountain. BlackFire recognizes the voice as Sythe's and sumizes that he has the Orb. After a moment of thought, BlackFire gets to her feet and flies over the mountain side. Unsuspecting Sythe is climbing the mountain beneathe her. In a smooth motion, BlackFire weaves a ball of Spirit and Fire and casts it upon Sythe who turns to ash with only a shriek of pain left rebirverating{sp} in the air where he had been. Something shiny catches her eye and with a smile, BackFire lifts the precious Golden Orb into her waiting hands with Air. Then, she flies south until she finds an island that no one knows about and burried the orb. She silently makes a hundred defensive weaves around the burial site and leaves the island, casting another four weaves around the island. Sharp rocks rise up from the water and three firey dragons guard the sky. Then, the another weave diverted the light for invisibility. The final weave hide the gigantic feel of magic rising frmo the island so that it was impossile to sense, even from an inch away.

With Sythe gone, BlackFire wonders who Rippamate will send after the Orb now. BlackFire finds another island in the middle of nowhere, somewhat cose to the orb's location, and casts a weave for invisibility and another to hide the magical invisbility shield. Then, she settles down in an underground tunnel system with no entrance or exit. She sits in her easy chair and studies the possiblities of the Power.

 

"Haha! You fool," I say as BlackFire vanishes. "For you see, that was a forgery, and the orb is MINE." I hold the real orb up the light, examining its beauty.
