The Plumbers officially freed the world, but that was all a front generated by the Appoplexian woman, the former Queen of Appoplexia, Phury. The slave that fed her then produced another fruit and showed it to her. \u201cPeel that thing and bring it back quickly,\u201d she commanded. The slave dashed off to obey. She then looked up. \u201cSunlight, that\u2019s what a Queen needs,\u201d she mused as her other slaves fanned her. She clapped her hands twice and the roof opened, letting in the rays of the sun. She purred happily. \u201cSunlight: the answer to an Appoplexian\u2019s troubles,\u201d she sighed. One of her Appoplexian guardsmen then entered the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cALL HAIL THE POWERFUL AND CUNNING QUEEN PHURY OF APPOPLEXIA!\u201d shouted the guardsman. \u201cMAY HER REIGN BE ETERNAL AND&#8230;!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s enough!\u201d interrupted Phury. The first slave then came back with the peeled fruit. She took it and waved the slave off. \u201cTell me, Angarr,\u201d commanded Phury, \u201cwhat brings you to my chambers?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPART OF THE DOSSIERS ARE GONE!\u201d roared the guardsman, Angarr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProbably the losers\u2019,\u201d mused Phury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;I didn\u2019t think of that,\u201d muttered Angarr in embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re a male, it\u2019s not in your genes to think,\u201d dismissed Phury. \u201cAre there any threats still remaining?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBUNCHO AND BOLT BOY!\u201d replied Angarr, his usual volume returning. \u201cWITH ANY LUCK&#8230;!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLuck?\u201d asked Phury. \u201cCome here.\u201d Angarr obeyed. \u201cKneel.\u201d Angarr knelt. Phury then held her claw under his chin. \u201cLet me tell you something, General Angarr of the 39<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Appoplexian Conquest Army,\u201d whispered Phury as Angarr started sweating, \u201ca reliance on luck is what cost us the Appoplexian Empire in the first place. We don\u2019t rely on fortune! We don\u2019t play the odds! We do what it takes to win! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, Dread Phury!\u201d squeaked Angarr. \u201cSorry, Dread Phury!\u201d Phury then removed her claw from his chin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe second round will begin soon,\u201d she mused. \u201cThere are still a few we can\u2019t deal with normally. I refuse to face defeat again! Victory is so close; I can taste it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere IS one that concerns me,\u201d muttered Angarr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho is it?\u201d groaned Phury, feeling like she was going to hear a useless worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMegumi,\u201d answered Angarr. \u201cIt says she faced someone called Vortech.\u201d Phury, after taking a sip from her drink, spat out the liquid in surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWHO FACED VORTECH?!\u201d she demanded. \u201cGIVE ME THAT DOSSIER!\u201d Angarr produced the dossier and Phury snatched it from him, giving it her full attention. \u201cShe didn\u2019t just face Vortech, she BEAT him! She trapped him in a Rift Loop and it collapsed, killing him!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow bad can this Vortech guy be?\u201d asked Angarr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe obliterated three whole universes!\u201d explained Phury. \u201cHe wanted to unite all universes into an orderly version of reality! Even I wouldn\u2019t be so stupid as to go up against him!\u201d She then made a decision. \u201cGather the men! It\u2019s time to run some drills!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, Dread Phury!\u201d called Angarr as he saluted. Phury looked to the heavens as Angarr left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEnjoy the 3V2R while you can!\u201d she snarled. \u201cThis time, Phury will not be leaving without First Place prize!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho did you say you hired to fix our house?\u201d Megumi asked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey called themselves Hamm, Mer, and Chizel,\u201d replied Richard. \u201cI only talked to them over the phone when I got their card. I got their insurance and people up and down the neighborhood swear that they\u2019re expert repairmen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood to know,\u201d mused Megumi. \u201cHow much was it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey estimated 5,000 studs before tax,\u201d answered Richard. Megumi whistled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThank goodness we have a savings account to pay in full,\u201d she prayed. \u201cDid you get any pictures of them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDell\u2019s figuring that out now,\u201d answered Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey! Y\u2019all!\u201d called Dell as he pelted down the Promenade. \u201cYou gotta get those repairmen to stop!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d quizzed Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHere are their mugshots,\u201d panted Dell. Megumi and Richard looked them over, then their faces blanched in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think I just made things worse!\u201d whispered Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHamm\u201d, \u201cMer\u201d, and \u201cChizel\u201d were looking at the size of the job. Their real names were Howard, Fine, and Howard, as in Moe, Larry, and Curly, the Three Stooges! \u201cSome fight!\u201d mused Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou ain\u2019t kidding,\u201d agreed Moe. \u201cWe\u2019re gonna need the tools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat tools?\u201d asked Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe tools we\u2019ve been using for the last ten years!\u201d snapped Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, THOSE tools!\u201d realized Curly. Moe then thought some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s see&#8230;hey, Porcupine!\u201d Larry came up. \u201cWhere did he say he wanted the window?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn the right,\u201d replied Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, get that window all set up,\u201d ordered Moe. Larry then picked up the window and went in one direction. \u201cHEY!\u201d shouted Moe. Larry stopped. \u201cI thought you said he wanted the window on the right!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe did,\u201d confirmed Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, put it on the right!\u201d snapped Moe. Larry went down his original direction. \u201cWhy you!\u201d snarled Moe. He grabbed Larry and pulled him aside. \u201cHe wanted the window on the right!\u201d Moe pointed to his right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight!\u201d answered Larry as he pointed to HIS right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;What\u2019s this?\u201d asked Moe as he showed his palm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA hand,\u201d replied Larry. Moe then slapped him on his exposed scalp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight or left?\u201d asked Moe. Larry then thought about it. \u201cOh, ignorant, eh?\u201d Moe slapped Larry\u2019s cheeks, then turned to Curly. \u201cHey, Onion-head!\u201d he called. Curly came over. \u201cHelp me learn him left and right,\u201d he ordered. \u201cNow, when I say \u2018go\u2019, we all point to the right. Go!\u201d The Stooges all pointed to their right. Moe realized the different directions his friends were pointing at, then laughed. \u201cJust a little fun, right?\u201d he chuckled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight,\u201d laughed Larry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOr is it left?\u201d giggled Curly. Moe then grabbed their heads and bashed them together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGet away!\u201d he snarled. \u201cCome on, we\u2019ll deal with the window once we get the door set up! Get going!\u201d He yanked his friends by the ear over to a workbench with wood and an electric saw. Moe got onto the bench and stood up, using his hands to frame the door and where it was going to go. \u201cGet me a board!\u201d he called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGet me a board!\u201d Larry told Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGet me a&#8230;low man again!\u201d grumbled Curly as he found no one behind him. He got the board and laid it onto the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake it six inches!\u201d called Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake it six inches!\u201d Larry repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake it six inches!\u201d finished Curly as he turned around to show which pocket he stored the ruler. Larry took the ruler and held it in the air while drawing where the six inch mark would be. Curly then took the saw and turned it on, cutting the board down the line. He soon got the clean cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGive it to me!\u201d called Moe. He got it, all right! Curly had cut through the bench as well as the board. The bench collapsed and Moe landed on his side. He got up later and stood up straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat happened?\u201d asked Curly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNothing,\u201d answered Moe. He then slapped his friends and grabbed the board. \u201cI\u2019LL FIX YOU!\u201d he shouted. Larry and Curly ran through the new door, but Moe was stopped as he had the board flat and it was too wide for the door. \u201cSHUT THAT DOOR!\u201d he ordered. Curly slammed it and it fell on him! \u201cHELP! MURDER!\u201d screamed Moe. \u201cGET ME OUT!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t!\u201d replied Curly as he pulled on the knob. \u201cIt\u2019s locked! I ain\u2019t got a key!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGET A SAW!\u201d shouted Moe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll get new repairmen once the Stooges are finished,\u201d assured Megumi. \u201cIn the meantime, I need to do some scouting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs that even allowed?\u201d asked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not scouting the contestants,\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cI\u2019m checking out their homes. If they give themselves home-turf advantage, I want to be ready. Besides, this isn\u2019t done without the other contestant\u2019s permission. I think I want to see Arsha\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArsha\u2019s home,\u201d reminded Richard, \u201cis made of three sub-dimensions that overlap each other. Which one are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI mean Arsha\u2019s exact home of Largandra,\u201d explained Megumi. \u201cThe Mid-realm\u2019s capital. I\u2019ve never seen Optimus\u2019 or Arsha\u2019s universes, I want a taste of what they offer. Maybe I\u2019ll visit the other two Realms later, but I want to see what Arsha\u2019s birthplace is like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood luck,\u201d bid Dell. \u201cI\u2019ll just get back to work on a Chronicle Driver compatible Ascendant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou know, that reminds me,\u201d mused Richard, \u201cnone of us have tested our Ascendants. I think I\u2019ll do that while you\u2019re away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, but be careful, My Lord,\u201d requested Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou too, My Lady,\u201d reciprocated Richard. They kissed and Megumi headed to the Gateway. When she arrived, POmega and Arsha were waiting for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAh, good,\u201d praised Megumi. \u201cI could use a guide. POmega, fire up the Gateway and lock on to Arsha\u2019s home of Largandra.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUse the ship-sized portal,\u201d interjected Arsha. Megumi was confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ship-sized one?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>&nbsp;needs some supplies that can only be manufactured in Largandra,\u201d explained Arsha. \u201cBesides, I don\u2019t think you\u2019ve set foot on my ship. It\u2019s only fair since I set foot on yours when we toppled Mordor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFair point,\u201d conceded Megumi. She then turned to POmega. \u201cThe ship-sized one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight away,\u201d replied POmega.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArsha to&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>,\u201d Arsha called on her comms, \u201ctwo arrivals to teleport directly the bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnderstood,\u201d replied Thangred. Magic then enveloped the two ladies and whisked them both to the&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>\u2019s bridge. Megumi was in awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCaptain on the bridge,\u201d rumbled Oak. Everyone stood at attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs you were,\u201d answered Arsha. She then took her seat. Megumi headed to behind the Captain\u2019s Chair before Arsha chided herself. \u201cOkay, Royana, that\u2019s rude. Computer, activate guest chair. She needs to sit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGuest chair online,\u201d droned the computer. A chair popped up just behind and to the right of Arsha\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThank you,\u201d bid Megumi as she took her seat. She then noticed how comfy it was. \u201cWhat kind of ship did you say this was?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a&nbsp;<em>Dauntless<\/em>-class diplomatic vessel,\u201d explained Arsha. \u201cBuilt for speed, it\u2019s heavily armed with&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArmed?\u201d repeated Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, if we\u2019re carrying precious cargo,\u201d replied Arsha, \u201cor transporting a valuable person, we\u2019d rather NOT have said cargo or person harmed in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, that makes sense,\u201d mused Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe rift\u2019s open for us,\u201d reported Nazay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNice and easy,\u201d directed Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAye, Captain, nice and easy,\u201d confirmed Nazay. The&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>&nbsp;then moved into the portal and traveled through the rift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI must say, this is quite the thrilling experience,\u201d chuckled Arsha as she saw the rift on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe excitement tends to wear off when you\u2019ve been doing this for five years,\u201d sighed Megumi. \u201cStill, it\u2019s nice to see another universe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cApproaching the end of the rift,\u201d reported Nazay. The portal then opened up to reveal sky and the city of Largandra below. \u201cWe\u2019re home,\u201d called Nazay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSet course for the shipyards,\u201d directed Arsha. \u201cMegumi, if you\u2019ll follow me, I\u2019ll take you to the landing ramp and give you a personal tour of Largandra.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrust me,\u201d called Dalengor, \u201cyou want her as your guide, not Nazay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI told you, I navigate better when I\u2019m in the air!\u201d snapped Nazay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEr, what?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNazay\u2019s sense of direction is terrible when he\u2019s on the ground,\u201d explained Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAh,\u201d replied Megumi. The ship was guided to a berth and it lowered its landing struts. Maintenance crews then approached the landing ramp as it lowered. Megumi was in awe at what she saw. \u201cSubarashi!\u201d (Wonderful!) she breathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cImpressed?\u201d chuckled Arsha. \u201cThat was my exact reaction when I first saw it as a little girl of 100.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;100?\u201d repeated Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYep,\u201d confirmed Arsha. \u201c&#8230;Wait, why are you confused?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t only Elves live that long?\u201d asked Megumi. \u201cI mean, average human life-span, at least for my home of Japan, is 87 years, roughly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;That short?!\u201d yelped Arsha. \u201cYou look to be about my age of 300!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, I\u2019m 24,\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cA young adult by any country\u2019s standards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTHAT\u2019S a young adult?!\u201d squeaked Arsha. \u201cThat\u2019s just a young child here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the average life expectancy here?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt varies from species to species,\u201d replied Arsha. \u201cThe lowest belong to the Arties classification, where our artificial life-forms come in. That would be our Chimeras with 10,000 and the Golems all Splitter branches use living only 5,000.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd&#8230;the longest life-spans?\u201d asked Megumi, really intrigued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot counting biological immortals like the Divine Ones, Fae, Tweeners, or Elves,\u201d mused Arsha, \u201c50,000.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c50,000 YEARS?!\u201d yelped Megumi. \u201cHOW DO PEOPLE LIVE THAT LONG?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMagic goes into our medicine,\u201d replied Arsha. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty common place. Most witches go into the medical fields.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, most of the doctors are women?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d replied Arsha, \u201cboys tend to learn about the body more. Must speak to something primal. Still, it\u2019s enough of an even split in terms of gender, so I\u2019m not too worried.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo wizards can be doctors too?\u201d quizzed Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Wait, what do wizards and witches mean to you?\u201d asked Arsha as she had a suspicion in her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWitches are female magic users, wizards are male ones,\u201d replied Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince when?!\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince always,\u201d answered Megumi. \u201cAre you telling me that the term \u2018Witch\u2019 is a professional title here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d confirmed Arsha. \u201cMarshii\u2019s dad was a witch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCould you explain the magic professions to me?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll right,\u201d resolved Arsha. \u201cWitches are magic doctors, wizards are magic researchers, artificers are magic engineers, alchemists are magic chemists, and sorcerers are magic online presences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat about warlocks?\u201d asked Megumi. Arsha took a deep breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of my teachers in Realmfleet Academy called them magic sugar babies,\u201d she finally answered. \u201cDon\u2019t tell her I said that aloud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI see,\u201d mused Megumi. Arsha then began the tour with her favorite tavern, The Hidden Drum. It was a typical tavern, rowdy people talking and drinking, a couple of busty waitresses, an old bartender wiping the glasses, a singer, a few dancers, a piano player making music, and a pair of hulking men trying to show off their strength. One of the waitresses, a Troll roughly Malak\u2019s size, saw the two and waved them in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWelcome back, Arsha!\u201d she greeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHello, Glantem!\u201d returned Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI never thought we\u2019d see you again during your five years!\u201d declared Glantem. She then noticed Megumi. \u201cAnd who is she?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Megumi Hishikawa,\u201d introduced Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s from another universe entirely,\u201d explained Arsha. \u201cI can explain everything once we get some food.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet me just get you to your table,\u201d directed Glantem. She led the pair to a table near the window. \u201cThere we are,\u201d declared Glantem. \u201cWill it be the usual today?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf it\u2019s available,\u201d replied Arsha. \u201cActually, would two be possible?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTwo steaks with mashed potatoes and two salads, coming up!\u201d answered Glantem. \u201cWill you be interested in dessert as well?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake it two usual desserts,\u201d ordered Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s two Chocolate Lava cakes for dessert,\u201d confirmed Glantem. \u201cWe\u2019ll have your order ready in&#8230;\u201d she was interrupted by a scream outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s never a good sign,\u201d muttered Megumi. Both she and Arsha dashed outside to see an Elf woman wailing over another Elf woman\u2019s body. A crowd had gathered by the time Arsha and Megumi knelt near the body. Arsha rolled the body over to see that the Elf woman\u2019s body had one large, creepy grin on her face. Her skin was also chalk white with blood-red lips. \u201cOh no,\u201d groaned Megumi as she pulled out her communicator. \u201cPOmega, get Batman here. I think we have a Smylex case.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Appoplexian woman was lying on her side and being fed grape-like fruit native to a world she once conquered.
