Chapter LXI: Darkness Incelhory. -Lord Ulrezaj
Markior clenches his fist as he sees Multex flying out of sight. "Damn... he's on his own again." He turns to Ulrezaj. NM looks at the sky. "Muuuuuulteex!!!!" He yells. Kyle now looks at the burning spot where RATCH had disappeared, then stares at Ulrezaj. Dev also looks at Ulrezaj, but seems to hold perfectly still. Lich stands at Markiors side. "Well well..." Markior grins. "By Khas and Adun, I don't believe what I just saw happen..." Ulrezaj clenches his fists together, red/yellow beams coming from his nails. My great opponent of darkness... Markior smirks. ... gets bossed around by a mere robot?" Markior chuckles. Ulrezaj's eyes glow brightly. Lich hides behind Markior. "Err... Markior... " Lich whispers. Markior grins and stares at Ulrezaj coldly. Ulrezaj stares back and grumbles. "You know he's not just any robot, Light One." Markior laughs. "You fear him! Ulrezaj roars back: "I fear no-one! I am Darkness Incelhory!! Kyle, NM and Lich look at The Markior confused. "Whats.." Kyle starts. "Incelhory means overwhelming." Markior says before Kyle finishes. Ulrezaj looks at the sky. He then looks at Markior. Something inside him is changing, his rage gets replaced by diabolical cunningness. He smirks evily at Markior... "We will meet again, Light One... I have new things to attend to..." He roars and throws his hands in the air. He is engulfed in flames, and disappears. Markior and the rest are left alone, confused.
-------------------------------------------------
As Ulrezaj flies through the skies, he starts thinking. "Everyone is controlled by an other... There is only one supreme power, which cannot be controlled..." He flies faster, the wind passing through him. He looks down and sees a griffin fly, but doesnt pay attention to it. He looks in the distance again. "... as with the Zerg, the beasts were controlled by Overlords... the Overlords were controlled by Cerebrates... and the Cerebrates were controlled by the Overmind...." He flies on, passes through an artic landscape, and meets up with the flying RATCH. He flies behind him, not speaking. He thinks again. ".. Now if Ratch and I were beasts, or Overlords, I am now going to meet the one who would be our Cerebrate...." He grins evily. He moves his hand and takes his Argus Talisman. He looks at it and checks his energy level. It clearly reads in reddish numbers: 135 He starts thinking again. "... Every Cerebrate wanted to become Overmind, and after the Overmind was destroyed, many tried to revive him, or become the new Overmind..." He passes over a landscape with numerous waterfalls. "... the Overmind was a superpower, unable to be mindcontrolled... but I am a Dark Archon. Mindcontrol is my speciality..." He looks at RATCH, and thinks to himself: "I could just mindcontrol that bucket of scrap metal... But if I would, the Cerebrate would most likely destroy me..." The Archon and robot fly into a deep dark valley, and reach Haverings castle. "So I shall have to mindcontrol... the Cerebrate." Ulrezaj smirks. He has never followed orders before, and didn't intend to start to do so for anytime soon. He checks his Argus Talisman again. 138 Ulrezaj laughs to himself slightly as they enter the castle.
-------------------------------------------------
Markior rubs in his eyes with his pointing finger and thumb. NM, Kyle, Dev and Lich look at him confused. "Why didn't he attack?" He mumbles. "These weeks I have seen parts of Lord Ulrezaj I have never seen before..." Lich picks up a small piece of metal plating. "Poor Multex... this is a part of him, I think..." He says. NM frowns. Markior looks at the plating. He widens his eyes and grabs the piece of metal from Lich. He laughs. "Of... of course!" He smiles. He looks at Kyle. "Terran, do you have any technoligy with you?" Kyle hrmpfs. "I'm a human." He says. Markior sighs. "Ok... ok... sorry. Human. Do you have any technoligy with you?" Kyle shrugs and searches his pockets. He finds a walkman. "Here." Markior turns to Lich. Lich shrugs. "Nope.. I don';t have any technoligy... or wait..." He pulls out 3 Pokéballs. "Here, I have three empty Pokéballs." Makrior smiles and turns to Dev. He grins to himself, then turns to NM. "Well?" NM hides his guitar behind his back. "Nuh-uh!" NM shakes his head. Markior growls. "C'mon... what do you need that thing for anyway?" NM bah's. "May I remind you, mr ghost-spirit-lizard-type-person... That my guitar is my prime weapon?" Markior frowns. NM smiles. "But..." NM grins, and reaches behind his back. He pulls out a big plastic bag. "I always carry along a pile of spare parts. For emergencies." Markior grabs the bag and looks in it. "Perfect.." He grins. He takes all the stuff, and breaks open the walkman. "Hey!!" Kyle yells. Markior breaks open the Pokéballs. Lich frowns but places his hand on Kyle's shoulder. "I think Markior has an idea..." Markior ignores them and starts working, in a trance.
-------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Ulrezaj and Ratch walk to the twisting hallways of Haverings castle. Ulrezaj checks his Talisman. 149 He grins. Ratch looks at the Dark Archon. "Nice toy, Protoss." Ulrezaj roars back at the robot. "Better then your little guns and missiles, Ratch." Ratch grins and ignores Ulrezaj. Lord Ulrezaj checks his Talisman again. 150 It reads. Ulrezaj is pleased and his eyes glow brightly. They reach a large wooden door. It automatically opens. Lord Ulrezaj looks, and sees a large circular room, and sir Pseudo Havering behind a large computer, with multiple screens. He seems busy and doesnt notice the robot and archon enter. Ratch *ehems*. Havering turns around and swings around his cape. He grins and stands up, then walks towards Lord Ulrezaj, who has closed his eyes. Little do Ratch and Havering know that Lord Ulrezaj is highly concentrating on Haverings mind. Havering smiles and stands infront of Lord Ulrezaj, and slightly looks up at his hovering head. "Welcome, Protoss... I know everything about you, so you will not have to introduce yourself. I hope you will enjoy working for me, and tha.." Havering is cut short as the room starts to tremble. Ratch looks around. "What the?" Ulrezaj opens his eyes, they glow brightly yellow. He then dashes his hand towards Havering, and roars: "MINDCONTROL!!" The red energies around Ulrezaj engulfs the room. Havering widens his eyes and yellow beams shoot from Lord Ulrezaj's eyes into Sir Haverings. Ulrezaj laughs maniacily as he penetrates Haverings mind, consuming all his intentions, knowledge, thoughts and reason. Havering only sees Ulrezajs face, growing into horrible versions of it as he gets mindcontrolled. Havering can only tremble with the room as it gets cleared of the red light. Ratch is frozen. The room trembles more, and Haverings castle morphs into Ulrezajs twisted, demented version of it. Protoss language gets written on its corners, large twisting spikes grow fron its walls and point in the air. From the castle, the planet starts to rumble, and every colour, every rock, every tree, every drop of water, everything... gets just a faint little bit darker. Then everything is silent. Havering stares into Ulrezajs eyes. His talisman reads 0 now. Ulrezaj smirks and takes place behind Haverings computer. Havering sits next down to him. Ratch is still frozen. Ulrezaj pulls a lever and clicks a button. "Now... I personally think that I will take over from here, Cerebrate Havering... Now to revive your Overmind..." He grins and laughs loudly. His laugh echoes through the land as he yells: "NEVER underestimate the Firstborn of Darkness! Darkness Incelhory has begun!!"
-------------------------------------------------
Markior is still in a trance as he finishes his construction. It looks like a small robot, with two bug-like eyes. Markior gets out of his trance and laughs. "YES!!" He cheers. Kyle, NM, Dev and Lich wake up, they fell asleep while Markior was working. Kyle rubs his eyes. "What did you make Markior?" Markior picks up the small robot, and clicks between its eyes. It lets out a number of beeps, each new one a little louder. Markior smiles. "This little fellow will grant us more then you could imagine. I have made a Protoss Probe." Markior smiles. Lich looks at it. "A Probe? You mean you can..?" Markior nods. "Indeed. I can warp in a Nexus. That Nexus will warp in more Probes. Those Probes will collect minerals and vespene gas for us. Those I can use to make the Probes build buildings. Those buildings will warp in Protoss forces..." Lich smiles. "You mean this little robot is the beginning of an army of your people?" Markior smiles and nods. He's kinda proud. Dev krrs and batbats the Probe. It bleeps and zaps Dev with an anti-particle beam. Dev yipes. Kyle looks at it. "Well, I guess my walkman was worth it.." He jokes. Markior picks up the robot again and starts moving fastly. "Well?" He grins. "What are you waiting for? C'mon!" Kyle, Lich and NM grin and follow Markior, and so does Dev. After a small hour walking, they reach a small field of blue crystals. Markior cheers once again. "We're in luck!" He puts the Probe down. It moves towards the mineral patch, and a beam of light appears. Markior crosses his fingers. "Please.. let it work..." The beam of light concentrates into a bolt of energy. Markior smiles. "It works! There's a Protoss Nexus now warping in." He looks around. "Wait a sec... did it just get darker?" Kyle looks at himself. "Yes.. but it isn't evening yet.." Markior frowns. "Strange... anyway, the Nexus will take approximately 2, 2.5 hours to fully warp in." He smiles. Lich concentrates and starts a small fire. The group sits around it and wait for the evening to start, not knowing the fate of Zolott just became... Darkness Incelhory...
