The Tourist nods, "There were," He says finding the memory a bit funny, "Heracles would just have to show his muscles or mention who is father is and it was easy for him. Those were some fun times. Going on the Argo."

"It wasn't through trickery. It seems Merlin got a bit frustrated since after a while Arthur would not listen to his advice anymore & decided to retire. She was one of the 4 ladies who took him to Avalon, along with his half sister Morgan Le Fay. I think it was Lancelot or others who spread those rumors, & started the very bad feelings between Arthur and his half sister Morgan le Fey who discovered Guidivere and Lancelot were having an affair. Arthur would not believe her till many years later and they eventually made up before the battle of Camlan."

'I see " Stripetail said and then there was a huge bang, as a very elderly man stepped forward from the air. "Lancelot? that pompous ass.." The old man croaked showing aged and corroded teeth.. "I go off to retirement and he spreads all these false rumors about...by the gods where am I?' the old man looked around. "I was supposed to be in France.." His eyes flew wide as he saw Odysseus. "Bedewyr? good knight, how are you" He stepped forward a step then looked around at all the strange faces... "Forgive me, my lords and ladies for my intrusion. I was supposed to magic myself to France, but apparently my spell went haywire .." he said apologetically..

Dr. Kerzach grinned. "No need to reload." He continued stabbing and kicking Shurlups. He then turned to Nick. "Hey Nick, you got anything like a machete or an ax in this cafe? My knife is good but I'd like to have a bit more reach. Oh Shaggy and Nick mind covering the Pelvanida group as they reload?"

Rime was attacking a male Shurlup. He was slashing it repeatedly with his hand claws and knife and he finally killed it by tearing a piece of flesh from its neck with his teeth. He spat the bloody piece of meat on the ground.

"Hey nice to see you got the ammo." Zachary said. He grabbed the two bags and placed them by the Molotov cart. He then pulled out all the empty magazines from his lab coat and started loading them.

Dr. Zanasiu started jamming handfuls of shotshells into his pockets.

"Finally!" Rime said. "Shurlups taste really bad."

"Rime! Why aren't you wearing your armor?!" Dr. Zanasiu shouted.

"Hmm. I must have forgot to put it on. I'll get it." He then radioed Strut. "Strut, this is Rime, I am heading to the surface."

Rime went to the surface and went to the corner where his group had kept their weapons and armor. He removed the magazines from his vest and placed them on a nearby table. He then grabbed his helmet and body armor and put them on.

"Hey, Deimos mind reloading my magazines? I've got to go wash my face." Rime asked.

"Sure. It's the least I can do." Deimos replied. He then grabbed the magazines on the table and started loading them with rifle cartridges.

After several minutes passed, Deimos had finished loading the rifle magazines and Rime reappeared and grabbed the magazines. "Thanks!" Rime said as he loaded a magazine into his rifle and cocked it.

Rime then radioed back to his group. "This is Rime I am re entering the tunnels."

Rime then entered the tunnels.

He soon approached a 3 forked tunnel. "Hmm. Where is everyone?" he muttered. Several gunshots then the screams of dying Shulrup were heard coming from the middle tunnel. He ran down that tunnel and he killed a female Shurlup trying to sneak behind Shaggy and Dr. Kerzach.

"So how's it been?" he asked.

"Just fine!" Dr. Zanasiu said sarcastically, blasting a female Shurlup. It still kept approaching him even with a shotgun wound to the stomach. A second shotgun blast to the chest killed it.

Nick fired at the approaching Shurlups, giving them cover. "We don't have any axes around here, I'm afraid. Didn't think of getting one.." He shook his head. "I'll get one when I rebuild.."

Odysseus smiled, "Merlin, It's been a while. How are you doing? I"m doing fine. As far as I know we're in a cafe."

Nick22 · **Reply #1745 on:** February 12, 2009, 05:14:31 PM

I'm old" Merlin wheezed. "I gave up most of my magic to Nimue , but not all" He raised a gnarled finger. He sat down creakily on the second cot. "Not all. I'm not nearly the magician I was, but I still pull off some tricks.. My lord, do you mind if IEat something " He turned to Scooby. "ri'm rot ra rord. rut reah, rou ran relp rourself" Scooby said, trying to be as kind as possible.

"the great Merlin Himnself' Stripetail smiled. "I'm Lord Stripetail, I've studied your work for centuries."
_ Merlin bowed at him. "My Lord, probably half of what you've read is propoganda started by Lancelot to cover his traitorus behind. He betrayed everyone, after he took Guinevere into his bed, Camelot was doomed.. he betrayed his king, and his country, for his loins..." Merlin spat at the ancient memory.

"Merlin. I've heard you were a good guy, unlike some of the sorcerers I've encountered." Brooklyn said.

Serris · **Reply #1747 on:** February 12, 2009, 05:32:54 PM

Dr. Kerzach shrugged. "Okay, I can still do serious damage with a knife and claws." He demonstrated his words by tripping a female Shurlup that tried to lunge at him and stabbing it in the back. He finished it off by stabbing it several more times.

Dr. Zanasiu was reloading his shotgun. Zachary was busy reloading all the magazines of his rifle.

After several minutes. Zachary had reloaded all his magazines, inserted a full magazine into his rifle and cocked it. "I'll go drive Strut to the gun store. Hey Nani! Can I use your car?"

Rime also joined Nick and Nani who were both shooting at the approaching Shurlups. He took aim and shot an approaching Shurlup in the head killing it.

Nick22 · **Reply #1748 on:** February 12, 2009, 06:02:01 PM

"Alkright, but if you damage it in anyway through reckless driving, I'm gonna be ticked." Nani replied, hitting a Shurlup in the chest with a .22 bullet.
_
Well, Yes I've fought dark magic before in my life, as must all good magicians" Maerlin sighed. "But the battle never ends, the faces change but the contest goes on.."

Kor · **Reply #1749 on:** February 12, 2009, 06:15:17 PM

Odysseus and some of the others nod.

"There has to be someone to fight them, or else they would surly win, they would." Ducky said.

Nick22 · **Reply #1750 on:** February 12, 2009, 06:25:26 PM

the gods always see to it, that evil doe not go unopposed, my child" Merlin said, his voice barely above a whisper. "There will always be at least some who will stand for the side of good. We cannot undo entirely what evil does, but we still make the world better because of our effort.'

Spyro and Cynder nodded. The two dragons had fallen silent, a little overwhelmed by all the new arrivals, several of which seemed to be figures from the legends of this world.

---------------------------

"You might be wasting your time," Taiga said, running his rapier-like weapon through a shurlup. "I think their numbers are pretty well-thinned."

He swung the rapier forward, the blade extending out into a whip again and wrapping tightly around several shurlups. A red Kiva symbol appeared on the ceiling and Taiga leapt through one of its wings, dropping back through the head. He yanked on the cord and lifted the bound shurlups into the air. "Now, Wataru!"

Wataru removed the fuestle from the Zanvat Sword and gave it to Kivat. "Wake up!" He slide the hilt across the sword, covering it in red energy, before he leapt at the captive shurlups and sliced through the whole group. He landed and slowly slid the hilt across the blade again, while Taiga waved a hand over the hilt of his weapon. The shurlups exploded as the Zanvat hilt slide back into place.

"We were just talking about immortality, Merlin, before you came" Stripetail said. 'Scooby was curious about it.."
_
Merlin gave the Great Dane a severe look. "Immortality is not something you would enjoy long term. "Yes, you wouldn't die, and you could gather all the wealth and power you desire. but you'd find, after a few centuries, that they do not satisfy, nothing can satify. not even the fair sex."

Serris · **Reply #1753 on:** February 12, 2009, 06:54:11 PM

"I think we'll need to go deeper into the tunnels." Rime replied, shooting a Shurlup that survived Wataru and Taiga's assault.

"Well, grenades are always useful in case we get attacked by other hostiles." Dr. Zanasiu pointed out.

"Strut, I am heading up to the surface to get grenades." Zachary said into his radio. He then turned to Nani, "Nani, the keys."

Nick22 · **Reply #1754 on:** February 12, 2009, 06:55:51 PM

Nani handed him the keys from her pocket, then reloaded her gun with a new round of ammo. "I hope we've nearly wiped them out..' She said, wiping her brow with her free hand.."I really want to go home.."

Drake · **Reply #1755 on:** February 12, 2009, 07:03:19 PM

The survivor had missed getting hit by the Zanvat Sword, instead having only gotten caught in the explosion of its bretheren.

"Like I said their numbes are thinning," Taiga said to Nani as he speared another shurlup through the chest with his weapon.

The shurlup were indeed thinning out. Nago inserted the IXARiser fuestle into his blet and blasted several shurlups with a beam of fire from his gun.

Nick22 · **Reply #1756 on:** February 12, 2009, 07:05:59 PM

Nick smiled..."Soon the Cafe will be free of these creatures. they've wrecked most of my resteraunt, which will cost millions to repair, and have forced me to call in people from other dimensions to help me out. But it wil be sweet to drive them away from this place.."

Drake · **Reply #1757 on:** February 12, 2009, 07:13:09 PM

"Retribution for all the destruction they've caused?" Taiga chuckled. "I can understand that feeling."

"I hope you can repair the place," Wataru said, walking over and standing next to Taiga. The last group of remaining shurlups had retreated into the tunnels.

"Looks like they've lost their nerve," Nago said, heading over to join the rest. He spun around and shot an injured shurlup that was trying to rise to its feet. "We'll have to hunt down the rest."

Nick22 · **Reply #1758 on:** February 12, 2009, 07:18:28 PM

I Have a better idea. Collapse the tunnels and seal them off. We've killed most of them.." Nick said in reply.
_
And who might you be?' Merlin asked, catching sight of Spyro and Cynder. "I have not seen dragons for centuries..."

Serris · **Reply #1759 on:** February 12, 2009, 07:26:13 PM

"Told you." Rime said.

Zachary took the keys and headed to the surface. "Ready to go? And what about ammo and gas?" he asked Strut.

"Ready. We've got more more than enough but I'll buy 2 cases of rifle ammo and a case of buckshot. The gas cans are in the back, I loaded them there yesterday. So we'll need to get gas and some glass bottles." Strut replied. "Oh, leave your weapons in the car."

Strut and Zachary got into the car. Zachary was driving and Strut was in the backseat.

Zachary soon started the engine and pulled out of the cafe.

--------

Dr. Zanasiu kicked a spent shotgun shell aside as he was reloading. "I've got go to the surface to get more ammo and a snack. Anyone coming?"

"I'm good." Rime said as he shot and killed a Shurlup that was running deeper into the tunnels.

"I'm good too." Dr. Kerzach replied. His knife and toe claws were dripping with Shurluo blood but his labcoat and pats were relatively clean.
