in the dimension of hearts, morgan and the creature had been wandering around for sometime when it became apparent that nordafet hadnt been seen or from in quite some time. "where the **** did that deom go!?" morgan asked, slightly annoyed that his friend would leave him this quickly. the creature on the other hand, knew perfectly well where nordafet was. "um... i think hes inside you sleeping. after that whole ordeal of being killed and then reborn again, i think hes jsut trying to recover. it might be sometime before we see him again." this was not good news for morgan. the landscape was black and white, no color in ti at all. and then it happened. morgan knew it would eventually happen and so did the creature. stick men. "THE ****!?" morgan said as he summoned his scythes from his arms. "thats another thing, whatever the **** happened to my angels?" reason quickly popped out to answer the question. "their dead jim." "IM NOT JIM!" "shut it and ocncentrate on the fighting at hand." reason said as he went back inside.

 

the creature wasted no time in launching an all out attack on the stick men. which just meant all he had to do was flick them in the head and theyed be dead. but he liked being drawn out. "cento fasci dell'oro." he said quickly as the gold orbs in his shoulders shot out and slammed into the first couple of stick men. "i know this is over doing it, but i just wanted to get some anger issues out of the...WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE!?" the creature screamed while the stickmen died. he pointed a finger at the team of scientists that had resumed experimentation on whether or not fat people could out run giant metal cheese wheels.  morgan and a few stick men sat down to watch as hilarity ensued for five minutes. the scientists were yet again dissapointed as the fat man only got a few feet before having a heart attack, falling to the ground dead, and then getting run over by the cheese wheel. "next time...MONTEREY JACK!" one scientist shouted out. then a second chirped "NO, LETS MAKE IT PEPPER JACK!" the third scientist said nothing, moreo r less because he was searching for more fat guys to run over with obsenely big cheese wheels. 

 

they all dissapeared in puffs of smoke, leaving only a tape recorder with a messege on it. morgan sliced the stick mans head off that was sitting next to him, and then retrieved the tape recorder and pressed play. "um... yeah... test subject number four thirty four... exhibiting abilities further then we anticipated. object of test is... whats that? no... i didnt order pepsi with that... well why would i? thats not nice... whyed he get to go first on the slide? well still take it back... no i wont give you gas money!" the tape ended with the recorder exploding in his hand. "well that was interesting... any of you guys know where we can find this place?? the creature asked oen of the few surviving stick men. 

time seemed to stand still for technarl as the massive spider puppets ripped themselves from the gound. his last thoughts to sumit to segroth, but the leader of the council denied him mercy. "this is your punishment for playing that damned music of yours too loud!" segroth said as he pointed a massive finger towards the blaring stereo in the corner. the roots slammed together in one moment of pure excitment, crushing the core in his head as the bolts were fired back at him. "im sorry to have it end like this technarl... you were a good opponent." the puppet king said calmly as he crossed his arms. the bolts shot through the rooted down gaurdian as chunks were ripped from his body. segroth wait tien minutes before stopping the battle. "barney fife, you have proved yourself against the second of the council of ten. you are victorious. but... darkness and technology wil ultimatley fail against someone of your stature." barney fife blushed for a plsit second before time froze. "however, the gaurdian of the time dimension will prove more of the chlalenge you seek."

 

a clockface rose out of the ground, its hands twirling madly about the diamond spiral. "will you know my name? it is not as easily pronounced as the others... i assure you.... but here... i will make sure that you have all the time in the world..." the clockface said as the diamonds moved in synch with the words. barney fife only heard the ticking of machinery as a body of gears, springs, and bars assembled itself right before his very eyes. "i am... simply put... time itself... i am the gaurdian of time... my realities are the past, present, future, moving and frozen. and i assure you that when the clock sotps ticking... so will you." barney fife felt energies from the greatm outh pour into his body, altering it ever so slightly. 'this is most certainly a promising battle. if not a more confusing one.' the great mouth said excitedly. but his excitment was quashed under segroths thumb. "rather then have you dela iwth him... we were planning on killing him anyways...." segroth lifted his thumb off of the failed gaurdian and standing on top of his crumpled remains was an exact copy of thep uppet king. the great mouth was instantly confused. 

 

the inner beast and sarah looked as the seat next to technarl filled up with the hsivering image of the gaurdian of time. "well that wasnt fun at all! i am the third member of the council of ten!" segroth gave the machine a wierd look. "if i had let you fight the puppet king, then you would havep ulled the exact same thing... so shut up and focus on fighting him!" he clock face changed slightly into thep uppet kings face. "wow... just when i thought things couldnt get any weirder..." barney fife said to himself as the copy began to shimmer brightly. "i..." it said with a labored breath. "am the puppet king!" white strings wrapped around the copys body and formed bright white metal plates that formed a spinning  you...kind of armor. "and what should we call you oh puppet king?" barney fife said mockingly while bowing to the false king. "tsuren tao, master of the girlscouts of america!" barney fife remembered something about the girlscouts of america, when he fought the creature. 

 

"you son of a bitch!" barney fife said as tsurens left hand dismantled itself as white thick strings shot out and forty puppets shot forth from her palm. the strings then wrapped around the frames, forming everything from the eyes, hair, skin, and innards as well. "hello! my name is nan-" barney fife wasted no time in slashing away at the innumerable puppets. "would you like some-" "NO!" he shouted as he booted a hefty girlscout three times his size in the face. "naughty naughty! im going to have to spank you!" she said as she grabbed a hold of barneys legs and whipped him around in a circle as lightposts popped up in a small circle. barneys face personally greeted each one of them with a heart felt hug, which left barney fife in considerable pain. "NOW IM GOING TO ASK YOU ONE MORE **** TIME! WILL YOU BUY MY-" barney shot a sting drill striaght through the dolls head, shattering it as the ovice trailed off. "now... where was i? oh yeah, invasión negra de la secuencia."

 

ten strings slammed through the formerly living puppets body as barney fife merged with it. "lluvia de la ametralladora de quinientos calibres." he said calmly, feeling the great mouths pleasure at how fast he had adapted to calling out attacks. "fuego." his new exoskeletons arms grew into massive grenade launchers. the bombs that shot out slammed into the ground with such force the mere sound waves crack tsuren taos armor. "this is not good. girls... you know what to do... finish him off." she said with pleasure hinting behind every word. "i want you to tear him to peices. COOKIE MONSTER!" the fourty girlscouts formed a furry blue creature with razor sharp talons, burning black eyes that waggled back and forth. "ME WANT COOKIE!" it screamed out with rage. "oh yes... i almost forgot... barney dearest? that body youre using as a weapon right now? its now a giant choclate chip cookie."

 

thep uppet king looked around himself, to find with much disgust and horror, that tsuren was right. "you..." he started to say, but was cut short as the cookie monster proceeded to bite down hard and ripped through half his body. the great mouth healed him back to life just in time forh im to finish his thought. "bitch." he quickly aimed the right arm of his new cookiel ike toy towards the cookie monster but found the creature was already nawing on it. "ME LIKE COOKIE!" the blue monster roared out loud. "then youll like this." a press of the button later, and coincidently, technarl hurling ads for radio shack into a circuit laced bucket, tsuren was covered in peices of cookies and monster chunks. barney fife liked where this battle was headed until time lsowed down. he felt a millin points of light slamming through his body, half a second later, peices and chunks of his body flew off and reattached themselves to him once again. "ok... im sick of this.... someone snip her!"  a bullet zipped past his head by mere inches and between her eyes, the shock waves slamming her head over heels spinning into the wall. 

tales of the dread queen spread far and wide through the forty six remaining realities, the threat of obliteration from the queen that commanded the golden strands like her own body parts became a fearsome thing indeed as the residents from each reality began to ponder what lied beyond the borders of there perception of things. the gaurdians watch as the puppet king fought his twisted copy tooth and nail, never losing an inch, and never gaining an inch. morgan and the creature had slowly become whole and colorful again, reaching new heights of power they had never reached before. resaec was busy building his forces in his inevitable attack on the council of ten, regaurdless of the threat that the golden strands posed to him. there was no doubt in hism ind that greater powerl ied just beyond the heart dimensions black sun.

mean while, the door of existence and the chasm of non existence continued the silent war with each other, eaches side growing in equal number to the other, the soldiers standing still like marble statues, never moving an inch, and never showing signs of life. another being became the microphone for the two greatest known forces in the known universe. "i shall delight in destroying you and your pathetic attempts at living. the power of nothing is far greater then those of existing!" the chasms raspy voice shot out of the tiny squirel that had somehow managed to wander between them. "and i shall kill you off, no matter the cost to my own forces chasm of non existence. you shall see that my forces are indeed greater then the golden strands which you command." 

the squirrel laughed and held its sides, its watery black eyes turning into a hateful pink. "THE GOLDEN STRANDS THAT I AM IN CONTROL OF, HAVE DONE MUCH MORE DAMAGE TO YOU THEN YOUR FORCES HAVE DONE TO ME! WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOU-" the pure torrents of energy being poured into the tiny body of the unfortunate squirrel caused it to explode into mushroom cloud. the remains of the squirrel nothing more then dust in the wind as the silent war between the two sides continued. 

mean while, the dread queen came upon the remnants of her home town, now nothing more then a group of islands slowly being devoured by the golden strands. "tenasth..." she calledo ut to her first general. the short wart ridden figure snarled quietly as he knelt to one knee. "yes my queen?" he asked slowly, his voice a tremble of excitement. "i want you to take four thousand troops and decimate this useless place... the golden strands have told me that they themselves have devoured all life... nay, all energy that had this pathetic excuse for living clinging to the very life i now take." tenasth smiled greedily as he rushed off to carry out his queens orders. "and tenasth? do be quick about it... i havent much time before that fool puppet king works his way through the ocuncil of ten." tenasth did not physicaly question his queens foresight, but only knew that she waso nly a step below the chasm of non existence, a threat he found readily terrifying indeed. the dread queen looked at the pamls of her hands and gently rubbed the obsidian plate that covered her face. her remaining hazel eye burning with hate for the love that had abandoned her. 

shrenasth her emotional baggage, lumbered into her presence with a survivor of the initial attacks. "this child wished to squeak to you... my queen." the ogre like creature said slowly. "is that decent i hear in your voice shrenasth?" the queen asked, a single hand ready to disembowl her second general. shrenasth looked to her and shook his hand. "no my queen, but i should have you know theres talk amongst the ranks of rebellion." the dread queen snapped her fingers and shrenasth heard several explosions and screams behind him. he rushed outside to see that there were now several brightly multicolored burn marks on the ground where his third and fourth troops used to be. "the queens power is indeed that great." "shrenasth? what is THIS child doing here again?" the ogre lumbered back inside, his mind full of questions with no plausible answers to anyof them. "he wanted to squeak to you my queen. shall i kill him?" the child looked terrified of both people. the queen sat, silent in regaurd. "tell me child..." she began as she paced around the small boy. 

"what value should you have to me? why should i not kill you where you stand?" she said silently as she kneeled face to face. the obsidian plate lifting to reveal the remains of the former human. "uh... uh...." she never wasted a moment punching through the back of his head through the front of his face. "this was a useless gesture shrenasth, repeat something like this and i shall give you the very same treatment as those rebellios troops of yours." she said angrily. "yes my queen, it wont happen again." the ogre said as he backed out of the small golden tent that now covered the dread queen where ever she went. 

inside morgans mind, things had become much worse for reason, schwarzenfeuer, and erde. twilight had made multiple copies of himself and now regularly attacked the three with limited success. the remains of licht and schwarzung had solidified into a single rainbow colored diamond egg thet size of the creature. it had electricity flowing through out the the covering as two whirlpools condensed the remains of the two fated lovers. "schwarze Flammeblätter!" shwarzenfeuer said as he unleashed torrents of superheated razors from the jewel on his chest. puncturing ten of the forty new twilight copies that had been taking pot shots at them all week. "reason, i dont know how much more of this i can take!" erde said reasonably angered at the loss of his right arm. he grew roots to replace that lost limb, but it wasnt the same and had little effect. "i know! we need to find the real twilight!" reason shouted as a twilight copy slammed him in the face. "that hurt you ****!"
