Fanfic Again


Palanthas was under attack! The evil dragonarmies were attacking earlier than they had planned. The Highlords, evil dragons, draconians, goblins, and hobgoblins had taken a few weeks to prepare for war. The Palanthians were not doing well at all. Not only were they taken completely by surprise, but Lord Soth and his undead soldiers led the attack.
“The city’s under attack! Will you please leave now?” Astinus begged the people who had been sitting in his library for the past few weeks.
“No! Now be quiet! We’re trying to read!” Bookworm snapped at him.
Suddenly, an undead warrior of Lord Soth charged through the library door. Wailing horribly, it threw its weapon at the bookshelves, instantly destroying them.
“The books… all gone…” Bookworm said in shock. “NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” She threw her book at the undead warrior. Ed clapped his hands, turning the book into stone as it flew through the air. It hit the undead warrior in the head, knocking the skull right off the body. The headless warrior wandered around the library in search of its head, frequently bumping into shelves.
“You transmuted my book! And I hadn’t finished reading it!” Bookworm screamed, throwing several more books at Ed.
“You threw it first! Ouch! Stop throwing stuff at me!” Ed said, ducking behind a bookcase to avoid the books that Bookworm was hurling at him.
Chasing after him, Bookworm grabbed the skull and threw that at Ed too. Unfortunately, Bookworm did not have very good aim. Instead of hitting Ed’s head, she hit his right arm, which was made of very strong auto-mail. The impact shattered the skull.
“Hey! Bookworm! Stop! I know how to defeat these skeleton soldiers! You distract them, then I crush them with my auto-mail,” Ed said.
Bookworm considered this and, after throwing one more book at him just to get her point across, decided to help Ed defeat Soth’s undead army. Astinus watched them leave, then stared in dismay at the remains of his once perfectly organized library.
Lloyd, Genis, and Colette had spent a few days following a group of draconians. They were very surprised when the group joined a huge army. They had offered to help the Knights of Solamnia fight this army, but they refused, saying something about alliances with rogue mages being unholy. This made no sense to any of the Symphonians. So, they decided to go find Keyblade, Al, and Tas to see if they were doing anything interesting. It turned out Keyblade had spent the last few weeks doing nonstop alchemy training. Al had been searching for his chalk that he used for drawing transmutation circles. It had mysteriously vanished, although Tas’s pouches did look a little more full.
Ed and Bookworm arrived then and explained their brilliant plan for defeating undead warriors.
“I suppose that will work,” Tas said, “but are you sure we can’t just ask Shade to return my Kender Spoon of Turning?”
This would not have worked because Shade was very busy in the Tower of High Sorcery. She was preparing to take her Test, in which she would either become an official Red-Robed Mage or she would die.
Meanwhile, Gluttony was attempting to devour Kratos. Kratos did not want to be eaten. He unsheathed his sword and sliced Gluttony in half.
“That was very mean of you. You’ve killed Gluttony,” Lust said calmly. “Perhaps you wouldn’t be such a bad human sacrifice.”
“Aw! I wanted to eat him!” Gluttony’s horrendous wound healed instantly.
“That is very odd,” Presea said calmly, watching Gluttony’s miraculous healing.
“Hey hunny, I don’t think you should try to sacrifice Kratos. Or eat him. He’ll probably kill you for real next time,” Zelos said.
“I… didn’t… kill… him…” Kratos stared at his sword as if it had just betrayed him.
“Come on Gluttony,” Lust said with a laugh, “let’s capture these humans. We should introduce them to the rest of the homunculi.”

'he'll probably kill you for real next time'? cheesit! Kratos'll have to turn gluttony into bite sized pieces to make him any more dead. cutting someone in half USUALLY does the job... hmmm... and I shall pass my test better than Dalamar, just watch!

Of course Kratos won't really kill Gluttony. Zelos is the one who said that and Zelos is not particularly intelligent.
