So, the Kystians and the Mercers start fighting, but everybody pretty much forgets about that immediately in favoring of piling on to Chuck because Mik just isn't allowed to have nice things. Including Neogenica. The guy who's under attack by the Mercers.

The thing is though, I'm not sure a confrontation ever actually takes place. Sure, Myself employs drop bears and turrets against Chuck, Neo grows a bunch of trees so they have ample drop coverage, and Wulf summons up Gaugamon, the bringer of Doom to layeth the smackdown, but the description of this epic clash of titans is passed over entirely in favor of arguing over how the fight would go. Everyone just assumes that Chuck goes down.

How many anticlimaxes are we at now? I've honestly lost count.

Also, the Mercers were after Chuck so they could absorb him and do one final push into New Atlantis, destroying it. But that kind of just doesn't happen, the whole thing gets dropped. Maybe they didn't win after all, maybe the Drop Bears won and killed everybody. But the Drop Bears and the Mercers were both controlled by Myself, so they have no reason to fight other than his sick pleasure. Maybe Neo bribed them over to his side with delicious eucalyptus leafs and got them to kill everything, using this gambit to save his country. Maybe Myself is as bad at turrets as he is at prisons and they just mowed everyone down. Maybe Wulfs monster swallowed everyone. Maybe Wulfs monster never actually showed up to the fight. Maybe Chuck actually won. We'll never know because, and I can not stress this enough, no one described a fight actually occurring.

Anyway, Mik losses it. He opens up his edgy little headspace and unleashed every monster that's ever plagued his nightmares onto the Earth and Celedon. To be fair, he immediately regrets this rash action after he calms down and with good reason because, according to him, these things are able to toss him around and he's a New Beginning character. He describes each of them for us, a old man is a star garment, a demon who looks like a rotting corpse flanked by zombies, a swarm of huge mosquitos being ridden by inside out goblinoids, a reality manipulating tree that lives in a great maze where physics doesn't make sense, "A race of vampires". And that's just the ones he can describe. He warns everyone about these grave threats. Like most things Mik tries to do, this is disregarded and ignored.

Dryad show up now, at the top of page 19, jumping between everyone (I guess they're all in the same place now? Honestly, keeping track of who is and isn't is a given place is really hard. I don't even know where they're supposed to be. Gonna say the remnants of North Africa, that's pretty close to New Atlantis. In fact, it make sense that the "Enemies" Myself started all this to kill would be based here, they have the most reason to want to take over New Atlantis seeing as it crushed their homes by existing) and bringing up a literal wall of fire to keep anyone from fighting. Wulf immediately threatens to kill her for this flagrant disrespect.

Nothing happens on page 20, everyone just argues about powers.

@Vault: For the current NB, how can I help get what you're trying to do going forward?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Find a way and reason to bring me and my boy to Aeon. We can't get there on our own.

[Philote]

I'd hate to just drop in a character that has easy access to Aeon when Zale already seems to be doing that.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I'm sort of unsure what to do as well. After the Big Boom ganked up the Technari invasion, I thought folks' powers went back to normal. Why can't one of us just teleport you there?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 It would make sense. All of that insanity and carnage is shown under the context of humans being suddenly bestowed with far too much power, and sorely abusing it. Then, the saga continues to congeal (very slowly) into something more coherent.

We're offered chances for a (moral) New Beginning after every foe and conflict we face.

[Mik_Hael]

I think through this story I'm seeing my slow slide from Benevolent liar pretending to be evil into homicidal/omnicidal rage bent on destroying an omniverse far beyond saving before it's lunacy spreads.

quick question, what political leaders would have been left in a situation like this for me to turn into those things, or just whisk off to somewhere.

Mind if I condense all of these into one thread for reading convenience.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I don't now, any that were left between the mindslaves, the killings, and the mass abductions.

Someones already said they were planning to condense these when I'm done.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Because I'm not where any of you are.

[Mik_Hael]

Never stopped me, after various breaks from trying to destroy the universe I just pop up, we're all basically omnipresent at this point anyway.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Except me....I am decidedly not omnipresent, nor am I omniscient....That's just not as much fun.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Yeah, but that would be too easy. I'm doing the whole Road Movie thing right now.

[Mik_Hael]

I'm about halfway done at this point already, we can delete it if you want.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Nah, keep on ahead. When you're done I'll start posting these in that thread. I like when there's chatter between my posts.

[Mik_Hael]

I think being trapped in a reality warper prison twice, the second of which being a perverts paradise, may have corrupted me a bit, which probably explains the monkey people.

I planned on doing that as well. Great minds think alike.

Seriously, I wish I had the resources to turn this into a comic. We might very well be a competitor alongside Homestuck with our insane earlier shenanigans.

Let's be honest here...if this were a comic it would make no sense. It would be like a darker, more vicious version of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.

....Okay, think I'll do it then, would be a good practice for drawing, but what i think would be awesome would be just seeing this guy.

Right, so, new thread courtesy of Mik. I'll be posting these up there now. Feel free to pop in there and comment, because reading your reactions is as fun as writing these up. Besides, I actually have some question in mind for the next one.

 You're going to art it???

Cool beans, with a side of awesome sauce!
