Knife: Hey, Garrett, what should we do now? I built her a house... and that's pretty much it.
Garrett: Now we should work on getting some more folk to the village, Knife. What did you think?
Knife: Nothing of it, I just wanted to know...
Isaac: You guys talking about me? I know I'm special and all...
Knife: No, and if you continue to interrupt, I'll bind you up!
Isaac: Then we'll have the Binding of Isaac...
Knife: Dude, shut up!
At that moment, Kayla walked into the room with a happy face and slightly blushing. Garrett seemed to have his hopes up, only to be disappointed:
Kayla: Someone new has arrived!
Knife could feel the disappointment rushing through Garrett, and took that opportunity to laugh. Even a 12 year old could understand that. He was expected to: He was special, he wasn't an NPC.
Garrett: Oh, who is it, anyway?
Kayla: He seems to wear a blue hat, with a red ribbon on it. He probably only sells junk though... watch out Knife, he'll peddle you out of your money! You're safer with Isaac...
Isaac: Thanks for the advertisement! Er... the wise words!
Little did Kayla, or anybody else know, the Travelling Merchant had something of great importance to Knife... one that would help him overcome the struggles. No one had even Abraham a chance...
Abraham: Hello, my children! I'll be outside if you need anything!
Knife: Can I at least go outside to check out his wares?
Garrett & Kayla: Sure, I see no harm in that at all!
Little did Garrett and Kayla know, Knife had money on him. In fact, he had his entire savings on him. He was ready for whatever this Travelling Merchant would sell. When Knife finally went to the Travelling Merchant, he welcomed Knife and told him he had a few secret items. As Knife looked through the bag, he found:
A Blue Magnet - (Celestial Magnet)
Some Black Clothes - (Gi)
A shiny silver gun - (Revolver)
A golden and silver sword - (Katana)
A cool black cape - (Mysterious Cape)
And a glowing stone - (Ooh, what could this be?)
And Knife bought it all.
Garrett: Now we should work on getting some more folk to the village, Knife. What did you think?
Knife: Nothing of it, I just wanted to know...
Isaac: You guys talking about me? I know I'm special and all...
Knife: No, and if you continue to interrupt, I'll bind you up!

A cool black cape - (Mysterious Cape)
And a glowing stone - (Ooh, what could this be?)
And Knife bought it all.
Knife: I don't understand, Abraham. Why does everyone else hate you?
Abraham: They don't believe I sell real treasures...
Knife: DO YOU? I JUST SPENT MY ENTIRE LIFE SAVINGS ON YOU
Abraham: I do... it's just... they aren't ones to believe me.
Knife: What? Why not? You seem pretty trustworthy!
Abraham: You'll need to hide that sweet loot, kid. Don't want the other ones seeing it.
Knife: Makes sense, Mr. Abraham. I'll be seeing you!
Abraham: See you, kid. I'll bring back treasures for you too!
*Abraham the Travelling Merchant has departed*
Knife hid the treasures, but couldn't resist trying the cape on. He loved its Dark and Mysterious feel. He felt like a secret agent. You can't blame Knife, however: He's still just 12. As Knife walked in, he put all the treasures in his Piggy Bank before his "Mother and Father" (Garrett and Kayla liked to think of themselves like that) saw him.
Kayla: HEY, CODY! What do you think you're doing!
Knife: I TOLD YOU TO CALL ME KNIFE, NOT CODY!
Garrett: That is no way to talk to your mother!
Knife: In case you didn't know you pile of useless flesh, bones, blood and other things, you guys ARE NOT MY PARENTS!
After screaming at Garrett, Knife stormed out of the house. Kayla had taken his cape, too. Knife had traveled across the earth searching for a way to get away from his "parents". He had found a cave which he decided to take a liking to, because why the Hell not? He thought. The sun was beginning to set, and he had almost no weapons. He was not in his built home, so he had no protection. He was forced to take shelter in a tunnel. As he walked down the "steps" of the dirt tunnel, he slipped on a half-block (I always do), and fell deeper into the tunnel than he had hoped to. When he could finally get up, the soft, mushy dirt was replaced with hard stone. Knife had not been scared yet, because he was always told stories about the underground. He was fine, until he came across a slime. He had difficulty with the slime, and managed to finish it off, with a bit of struggle. As he killed it, it split into three more, of which he had more difficulty killing off. --- Hours had passed, while he managed to build himself a mini-shelter. As he rested inside of his mini-shelter, he realized that the door only led one way, and he had no escape root. Little did this matter to him, however. ---(3 Hours Later)--- He was peacefully sitting in a chair, when he suddenly heard knocking on the door. He was fine, until the door fell down, an army of skeletons at the door.

Knife: Oh crap, what the hell? I thought...
As Knife stuttered and realized the end was near, a slightly taller skeleton with a cigar and black hat walked in.
Skeleton Mobster: I think we've found him, boys...
Knife: Holy hell, you're not talking about me!
Skeleton Mobster: Oh yes we are... we'll have many uses for you and your kind.
Knife: Hell no! I'm not going out without a fight!
Knife pulled out his Copper Shortsword, as the skeletons surrounding the mobster laughed at him. As Knife felt the embarrassing rush zoom through him, he lunged at the mobster. As he almost missed, he managed to barely scrape his bone, leaving him a scratch.
Background Skeleton #1: That's the first time a human- or anybody scratched Tyguis!
Background Skeleton #2: Yeah, what's boss gonna do with him?
Tyguis: I know exactly what to do with him...
Tyguis blindfolded Knife and knocked him out. It was a long trip, because even when Knife woke up, he was still being dragged. Sooner or later, Knife fell asleep again. When Knife finally woke up again, he was no longer blindfolded. He was strapped to a chair, a chair made of bone to be specific.
Knife: What do you idiots want with me?
Tyguis: It's simple... you can talk to NPC's easily, can't you?
Knife: Of course I can, I'm HUMAN!
The word hit Tyguis, but he easily brushed it off, realizing there were indeed pros to it.
Tyguis: Anyway, soon enough, there'll be some components we need... and since we can't talk to the villagers, you'll have to get these components for us.
Knife: When I reach the surface, what makes you think that I'll abide by your plan again?
Tyguis: Because if you don't, we'll send a skeleton assassin every night
Knife: I can hold off for a while
Tyguis: Ah, but how long can you hold off for?
Knife: For a pretty long time, actually! By the time you send your last assassin to get us I'll have them killed!
Tyguis: Eh, you think you're all that? Well guess what kid, I have a little surprise for you: Keep on getting stronger, we dare you! We'll pour
blood right on your moon!
Knife: You think that's supposed to scare me?
Tyguis: Oh... no, not at all. But remember, you're the one tied to a chair.
Knife: I can break out easily with my sword... where's my sword?
Tyguis: You mean, this sword?
Knife: So? I still have my trusty... where's my pickaxe? And my axe?
Tyguis: Don't take me for an idiot, I have those two.
Knife: What? Okay, there really is no way out of this, is there?
Tyguis: There is, but you'll need to co-operate, my friend.
Knife: What's in it for me?
Tyguis: Your life, your friends life, your freedom... and this cool sword.
Knife: That sword... glows. I... I'll take your deal!
Tyguis: Good...
Little did Knife know what he started that day...
As Knife stuttered and realized the end was near, a slightly taller skeleton with a cigar and black hat walked in.
Skeleton Mobster: I think we've found him, boys...
Knife: Holy hell, you're not talking about me!

Tyguis: Your life, your friends life, your freedom... and this cool sword.
Knife: That sword... glows. I... I'll take your deal!
Tyguis: Good...
Little did Knife know what he started that day...
Knife had walked back to the house, injured. He was going to be killed by a monster, he could feel. He had no weapons on him, and couldn't fight fist to fist. It was at that moment he saw a Zombie.
Knife: Oh god, this is it... I won't live up to Tyguis, huh?
But to his surprise, as he passed the Zombie slowly, injured, it had left him alone.
Knife: Is this Tyguis' gift? The ability to... understand monsters? To be calm with them?
Knife had eventually reached the house, forced to keep the silence of the events that happened that night, or... day. He wasn't sure when it was, because he had been underground too long. He'd been forced to keep some radio silence. He was fine with it, at first at least.
Kayla: Where were you?
Knife: Out adventuring, MOM, where were you?
Kayla: Here being worried about you! Why were you out there?
Garrett: Why did you leave for that long? You could have died!
Knife: AND THEN RESPAWNED! What the hell is it with you guys? You're not my real parents! All I really wanna do is get the hell outta here! You two constantly baby me, I'm not 6 years old! You two are not my parents! Go the hell away. In fact, better idea: I'll go the hell away. I'm making a house somewhere else. You can get your survival needs somewhere else.
Garrett: Fine, we don't need you. Goodbye, and have a good time!
Kayla: We only did this for your protection!
Knife had gathered everything he could, including his piggy bank. He'd spent all night gathering his stuff, and by the time he was done, it was morning time.
Isaac: I'm sorry, did I hear money leaving?
Knife: I'm leaving you guys, that's what's up.
Isaac: I'm coming with you. There's no way I can let money escape like that!
Knife: I don't care, you can come along.
Isaac: I already packed my bags and whatnot, let's take our leave!
And with that, they were gone. Isaac and Knife spent a few hours journeying and settling down. They had decided it'd be nice to settle down in a quiet snowy land, because everyone loved snow.
Isaac: Kid, I didn't really come for money, you know.
Knife: That's surprising, I thought money was your whole life.
Isaac: It is, but not this time. I saw your passion, and realized you needed a better guardian than those two. I'm not here to be your parent Knife, I'm here to be a mentor. A friend.
Knife: That's... a relief. Can you teach me how to fish?
Isaac: I can teach you how to catch bait for fishing!
Knife: Sounds good enough to me! I'll need a gold.
Isaac: Take a bug net, free of charge.
Knife and Isaac had spent the rest of the day catching bugs, and bait. They'd been ready to start fishing together. A skeletal assassin watched from the shadows, ready to spread the good news to Tyguis. Little did Knife know, Tyguis was more than just a Villain...
Knife: Oh god, this is it... I won't live up to Tyguis, huh?
But to his surprise, as he passed the Zombie slowly, injured, it had left him alone.
Knife: Is this Tyguis' gift? The ability to... understand monsters? To be calm with them?

Knife: I'm going adventuring!
Isaac: Yeah, sure kid! I'll see you when you get back.
Knife had liked Isaac's company, and couldn't wait to start a new village. Knife didn't know it now, but Garrett and Kayla were getting ready for a war. A war against who, however? Knife had spent his time underground reporting back to Tyguis.
Tyguis: Why are you here?
Knife: I'm getting started on that list of yours, but...
Tyguis: I never gave you the list.
Knife: Yeah.
Tyguis: Here it is.
---Le List---
(2) Bug Net
(5) Illegal Gun Parts
(50) Dynamite
(2) Dirt Rod
(1) Tinkerer's Workshop
(1) Imbuing Station
(1) Wrench
(1) Wire Cutter
(999) Wire
(80) Glowing Mushrooms
---Le End---
Knife: What the hell is half this stuff? What the hell is all this stuff? Except the Bug net, I know what that is.
Tyguis: It's stuff for a project.
Knife: May I know what that project is?
Tyguis: It's a secret project.
Knife: If I'm going to be the errand dog, I might as well know what I'm building!
Tyguis: It's secret for a reason, kid.
Knife: *Sigh*, fine. May I know how to get half this stuff?
Tyguis: Sure, just attract more villagers.
Knife: Thanks... for the help.
Tyguis: Anytime, kid. And I believe I promised you this sword, didn't I?
Knife: Awesome, but why are you giving me this sword now?
Tyguis: We need you to go to the Glowing Mushroom place...
Knife: Okay, but why do I need this?
Tyguis: We're not exactly on... great terms...
Knife: Is this some kind of secret war or something?
Tyguis: It's a thing of the past, really... anyway, I'll send 2 Skeletal Assassins to go with you. Don't get caught!
Tyguis had promised his assassins, and Knife was given 2 assassins. Together, the trio went over to the mushroom place, and spied through a hole. Knife had been amazed by the sight he had saw.
Knife: This place is amazing, guys!
Knife: Not much for talking, huh?
Skeletal Assassin #1: No, we just like getting the job done.
Skeletal Assassin #2: You're right kid, it looks amazing!
Skeletal Assassin #1: Shut up man, we have a job to do!!!
Skeletal Assassin #2: Oh, right... let's go guys!
The trio had sneaked into the glowing mushroom place, and searched around for a single mushroom. It was mostly empty, except for a few zombie workers who were turned by the mushroom palace.
Skeletal Assassin #1: I have one, let's grab some more.
Unfortunately for the trio, the Mushroom Zombies were idle, which meant they had alert senses. The trio had to defeat and kill the two zombies. And so it must be done. Knife had swung his sword at one of them, surprised when he saw a beam come out of it.
Knife: Hell. Yeah.
Knife had swung around the zombie's head and repeatedly swung at it, beam piercing it and hitting another. The skeletal assassins showed no effort, and had still managed to easily murder the zombies. Minutes and minutes had stacked upon each other, time flying. By then, the trio were surrounded by Zombies.
Skeletal Assassin #1: We have to find a way to kill them all easily.
Skeletal Assassin #2: Let's do a combo!
At that moment, Skeletal Assassin #2 had been grabbed by #1 and swung around repeatedly. Eventually, #2 dropped his sword, and fell down.
Skeletal Assassin #2: Sorry.
Skeletal Assassin #1: Thanks a lot, now what?
At that moment, they were saved by Tyguis' elite men. They had come to save the day once again. When they got to the trio, one of the guards made a joke:
Elite Guard #1: You three must've been playing in a lot of red paint, huh? You juniors...
Skeletal Assassin #1: HEY, AT LEAST WE WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO GET SENT!
Elite Guard #2: More like expendable enough.
Skeletal Assassin #1: HEY, SHUT THE F*** UP!
Elite Guard #1: Ooh, someone mad?
Skeletal Assassin #2: Come on bro, let's go.
The Skeletal Assassins, along with Knife had gone back into Tyguis' "palace".
Skeletal Assassin #2: Sorry about this, we never really had a formal introduction! I'm Uskor, the calm and clueless one, and this is the skilled but angry one,Raphael Sukor. We're twins!
Skeletal Assassin #1: Sorry about that... I got heated out there.
Knife: No matter, those guys were jerks anyway. We only got two mushrooms, what do we tell Tyguis?
They had been "man" enough to tell Tyguis, who wasn't pissed off at all. He had his scientists research the Glowing Mushrooms, so he could learn more about them.
Tyguis: Assassins, leave us at once. I want Knife to know about these glowing mushrooms, and their purpose.
Sukor: We have names, you know.
Tyguis: Oh, okay... Anyway, leave us at once!
Knife: No. They deserve to know as much as I do. These two were with me during the fight, so they're going to stay by my side. If you can't tell Sukor and Uskor, then you can't tell me.
Tyguis: Very well, then stay you two. Now, the glowing mushrooms...
Isaac: Yeah, sure kid! I'll see you when you get back.
Knife had liked Isaac's company, and couldn't wait to start a new village. Knife didn't know it now, but Garrett and Kayla were getting ready for a war. A war against who, however? Knife had spent his time underground reporting back to Tyguis.

Unfortunately for the trio, the Mushroom Zombies were idle, which meant they had alert senses. The trio had to defeat and kill the two zombies. And so it must be done. Knife had swung his sword at one of them, surprised when he saw a beam come out of it.
Knife: Hell. Yeah.
Knife had swung around the zombie's head and repeatedly swung at it, beam piercing it and hitting another. The skeletal assassins showed no effort, and had still managed to easily murder the zombies. Minutes and minutes had stacked upon each other, time flying. By then, the trio were surrounded by Zombies.
Skeletal Assassin #1: We have to find a way to kill them all easily.
Skeletal Assassin #2: Let's do a combo!
At that moment, Skeletal Assassin #2 had been grabbed by #1 and swung around repeatedly. Eventually, #2 dropped his sword, and fell down.
Skeletal Assassin #2: Sorry.
Skeletal Assassin #1: Thanks a lot, now what?
At that moment, they were saved by Tyguis' elite men. They had come to save the day once again. When they got to the trio, one of the guards made a joke:
Elite Guard #1: You three must've been playing in a lot of red paint, huh? You juniors...
Skeletal Assassin #1: HEY, AT LEAST WE WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO GET SENT!
Elite Guard #2: More like expendable enough.
Skeletal Assassin #1: HEY, SHUT THE F*** UP!
Elite Guard #1: Ooh, someone mad?
Skeletal Assassin #2: Come on bro, let's go.
The Skeletal Assassins, along with Knife had gone back into Tyguis' "palace".
Skeletal Assassin #2: Sorry about this, we never really had a formal introduction! I'm Uskor, the calm and clueless one, and this is the skilled but angry one,
Skeletal Assassin #1: Sorry about that... I got heated out there.
Knife: No matter, those guys were jerks anyway. We only got two mushrooms, what do we tell Tyguis?
They had been "man" enough to tell Tyguis, who wasn't pissed off at all. He had his scientists research the Glowing Mushrooms, so he could learn more about them.
Tyguis: Assassins, leave us at once. I want Knife to know about these glowing mushrooms, and their purpose.
Sukor: We have names, you know.
Tyguis: Oh, okay... Anyway, leave us at once!
Knife: No. They deserve to know as much as I do. These two were with me during the fight, so they're going to stay by my side. If you can't tell Sukor and Uskor, then you can't tell me.
Tyguis: Very well, then stay you two. Now, the glowing mushrooms...
Tyguis: Very well, then stay you two. Now, the glowing mushrooms...
Tyguis: They're actually going to be part of a super weapon we're building. Now you may be asking what the weapon is, and I'll tell you. But not what we're using it on. Anyway, on to the weapons: We're going to be building a cannon, and a mech suit. We'll have time for other weapons later. The cannon will be using pure glowing mushroom power and using an extractinator to put it in the pure form. As for the mech, we we'll also need an extractinator, because it's going to be extracting the pure power from the Glowing Mushrooms to power the mech. Our goal is to enter the dungeon by killing their master, Skeletron. We want to destroy those jerks.
Knife: The dungeon? But aren't those guys fellow skeletons?
Tyguis: They're fellow skeletons, but... we split, because their views were completely different from ours.
Knife: What were your views? And theirs?
Tyguis: The Dungeon skeletons wanted to wait and destroy whoever crossed their path, until no one was left, and then take over the world. Our views were just to destroy the Jungle, our rival. The other skeletons didn't prioritize this goal, and thus, me and my band of misfits were annoyed, and left. The Jungle also has a minor enemy, the Glowing Mushroom Palace. They're just a mere nuisance, however. We'll take them out.
Knife: Isn't that just... helping the Jungle out?
Tyguis: Yes and no. Not only will we get rid of their rival, helping them, but we will also have pillaged their land, taking all of their glowing mushrooms, helping us, and getting rid of the jungle's chance to harness it.
Sukor: That's where you're wrong.
Tyguis: Oh? Please Tell me.
Uskor: They can power their mechs and machines with those Spores.
Tyguis: WHAT? I... I forgot about those! This isn't... good.
Sukor: We should pillage the jungle for their spores.
Uskor: Yeah, it seems cool bossy boss!
Knife: Not a good idea. I'm not suited up for the jungle, and neither is anyone else. We'd all be killed!
Tyguis: You're right... we'll wait for you to come back and suit up, Knife.
Knife: Now that's more like it!
And so a month has passed, Knife built more houses, and got the Painter, Dryad, Dye Trader and the Demolitionist have come.
Mario: Red Paint looks better.
Philosir: No sir, Red Dye looks better!
Celestia: You both are wrong. Anything natural looks better.
Philosir: Red Dye can be made from things in nature! Therefore I win!
Celestia: He does have a point there
Dias: Sorry, but I like painting things in red, but with explosives...
Celestia: Knifey, what's your opinion.
Knife: Don't call me Knifey.
Celestia: Fine. Cute little boy, what's your opinion?
Knife: Don't call me that either.
Celestia: Knife, what's your opinion?
Knife: Red is red, is it not?
Philosir: That's not the way to go!
Knife: And neither is...
Abraham the Travelling Merchant has arrived!
Knife: A... Abraham?
Abraham: It's me! And I brought you a Real Good Treasure!
Abraham had brought an Ammo Box for Knife, who bought two. He'd bought one for himself, and one for Tyguis, who he hadn't seen in a month. He'd been wondering how Tyguis had been doing. He'd obtained Gold Armor and Gold Tier items. He left to see how he was doing. When he returned, he was shocked to see that the twins had been promoted from Skeletal Assassin to Skeletal Soldier.
Knife: Hey, you two are Soldiers...
Uskor! Awesome, right?
Sukor: What about it?
Knife: This means I'll see less of you guys...
Uskor: Yeah, that is kind of sad...
Sukor: No, since you're fighting in the upcoming war, you'll be able to fight with us!
Knife: WAIT, WAIT WAIT. 1) I'm not a soldier 2) UPCOMING WAR? WHAT THE HELL WAS TYGUIS THINKING? I KNOW HE'S A VILLAIN, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS STUPID!
Sukor: Now that I think of it, it is kind of stupid.
Tyguis: Oh? But how?
Knife: You have no hope what so ever. Also, take this:
Knife gave him the Ammo Box.
Tyguis: What is this?
Knife: Touch your gun to it, and it will have less of a chance of consuming Ammo.
Tyguis: Oh, okay. For a mobster, who uses a lot of guns, this seems like it would be very useful.
Knife: On the subject of the war, when is it anyway?
Tyguis: 2 Months from now. Which means I have a very special mission for you.
Knife: Oh god... what is it this time?
Tyguis: The list.
-----Le List-----
250 Obsidian
2 Hellstone
-----Le End-----
Knife: GOD WHAT THE HELL? I HAVE TO NOT ONLY KILL THIS RUMORED BEAST WORLD EATER, BUT ALSO VENTURE TO HELL?
Tyguis: Doesn't seem like much for you. However, you might need an upgrade.
Knife: That's underrated. I'm going to visit the jungle for that... "upgrade".
Tyguis: You're going to start the war already? That's idiotic.
Knife: No, you idiot... I'm going to stock up on gear...
And that was the last Tyguis ever saw of Knife... for that month at least. Knife had spent that entire month in the jungle, who may or may not have been having some difficulties. He learned of summoning monsters, and defeated the Queen Bee on the instant he learned of it. He'd been doing pretty well, while everyone else was worried for him.
Tyguis: They're actually going to be part of a super weapon we're building. Now you may be asking what the weapon is, and I'll tell you. But not what we're using it on. Anyway, on to the weapons: We're going to be building a cannon, and a mech suit. We'll have time for other weapons later.

Tyguis: I need to see my Army. Where are they?
Elite Guard #1: Right this way, sir.
As the Elite Guard opened up the door leading to the army, he was both shocked and scared. Tyguis hadn't even seen this before. When he opened the door, he saw hundreds of skeletons dead, and bones detached. The Elite Guard and Tyguis had been scanning for whoever had done this, and then eventually found a note.
Your army was fun to chew
So good, I made some stew
I decided it was time for the big fight
So I knocked out of all their light
You can find me in the jungle, a real paradise
But don't come too late, or I'll kill your KNIFE
-Queen Bee
Elite Guard: OH, NO SIR!
Tyguis: Huh?
Tyguis read the note, and got angry. But as he read the last part of it, he suddenly got chills.
Elite Guard: We must find Knife at once!
Tyguis: With... what army? We'll have to send some assassins...
Voice: Then it's about time you demote us.
Tyguis: Who's there? Oh, Sukor and Uskor.
Uskor: Yeah man!
Sukor: It's time you demote us to assassins so we can murder that b****.
Tyguis: No need, you're being upgraded into spies. Do you two think you can handle that?
Uskor: YES YES YES YES YES! WE ACCEPT IT WITH HONOR!
Sukor: It's our mission now.
Tyguis: On a side note, how did you two live?
Sukor: Well, we heard Ninjas coming and then we hid and waited. There were too many, but we knocked some out.
Uskor: We were playing and lost the ball, and it fell behind here.
Sukor: Did you really have to tell him that? My story sounded better.
Uskor: Just telling the truth...
Tyguis: Anyhow, you two have to go and find Knife, and rescue him, while I go gather more people
Tyguis had sent the twins away, who had done part of their job. They'd reached the Jungle, and found the Hive. However, when they got there, it was a huge surprise what they found.
Sukor: She's dead. But how?
Uskor: A note! I FOUND A NOTE! I WIN!
Hey guys. Knife here. Sorry I couldn't make it yet.
I've killed this Queen for quite a while (about 3
weeks ago). I fear your base has been attacked by
the time you read this note. I suspect it is actually
the DUNGEON, because they've been a little...
inactive lately. If you're seeing this 3 weeks from
now, then you should know I'm on my journey to
the Dungeon. I'm ready to murder those guys. I've
gotten some better equipment. On the way, I plan
to fight a giant worm who is fabled to eat worlds.
It sounds like a legendary fight. I'll be able to make
more gear from that stuff. I've also visited the place
and left a little present for Tyguis. I have everything
on his list under his throne. You guys can find out the
assault on the Dungeon isn't going to be easy. For
leaving you guys, that is my parting gift to you.
Well, I'm going to be caught by some of those other
monsters. See ya.
-Knife
Sukor: Wow...
Uskor: We should get back right away bro!
Sukor: You're right.
And that's exactly what they did. The war on the jungle was no longer on, since Knife had already taken down the Queen of Bees. The materials had been under the throne, exactly like he promised. Tyguis had begun his machine. He'd been ready for this for a while.
Tyguis: Get to work men.
Sukor: Knife really had a positive influence on our lives, huh?
Uskor: Yeah, he makes me feel cool!
Tyguis: You're right men. However, he has no idea what he's about to be facing.
Sukor: Makes sense sir! We should help him immediately then!
Tyguis: You two have worked enough. We've got to worry about the Dungeon for now. You two get some rest or something like that. I'll continue to oversee the project here.
---With Knife---
Knife: This place must be... The Corruption.
Voice: Yes child, yes... welcome...
Knife: And just who the hell are you exactly?
Voice: Oh, me? I'm what they call... A Corrupton.
Knife: A Corrupton? That sounds dangerous.
Voice: Oh it is, child. When tampered with. Now why are you here?
Knife: Simple: To kill the World Feeder!
Voice: (Wait till Hardmode)
Knife: Huh?
Voice: Nothing. I also believe you mean the Eater of Worlds, otherwise known as the EoW. Let's see what you've got... ZENFIR!!! I AWAKEN THOU!!!
Zenfir: Sorry, wait for three shadow orbs. See ya tomorrow or something. *Sigh of disappointment*
Elite Guard #1: Right this way, sir.

Zenfir: Sorry, wait for three shadow orbs. See ya tomorrow or something. *Sigh of disappointment*
Voice: Sorry kid, you'll have to wait. Zenfir is grumpy all the time. He says only a person who is brave enough to destroy his shadow orbs has the right to fight him. You'd better... get to it then.
Knife: Hold on.
Voice: Yes, young child?
Knife: I want to know more about you!
Voice: You'll want to know more, eh? You'll find out about me in due time...
Knife: Well then...
At the moment Knife finished his sentence, the Corrupton had vanished away from existence. Knife wasn't scared, but instead, he was wondering. What the hell was that thing? Was it even human? Was it even a humanoid? So many questions, so little answers. Knife had just decided to get a move on. As he reached a chasm, he noticed there was something stuck in the ground. He'd noticed it carefully, and suddenly picked it up, along with a twin. There were to knives, which he had taken a liking to. He'd decided he'd be killing this Zenfir guy with this weapon.
Knife: Hello?
Chasm: Hello!
Knife: WHAT THE HELL, CHASMS DON'T TALK!
What came out of the chasm had surprised him more. It was the Corrupton, why had he scared him like that? Knife wasn't scared, he'd just been startled. Happens to every great legend, right?
Voice: I decided that I'd not only help you down, but also I decided I will tell you my name.
Knife: Really? Which one comes first?
Voice: YOU get to decide that!
Knife: Hm... I'd like to get down the chasm first.
Voice: Then we must take to the skies!
Knife: Huh?
Voice: The skies.
Knife: But I wanna get down that chasm.
Voice: So?
Knife: Then we go down there.
Voice: No...
Knife: Are you tricking me?
Voice: No. You don't have to trust me, however.
Knife: I do. Let's go.
Voice: What I wanted to hear.
They both journeyed all the way to a floating island, but it took some work for them to reach even the first island. However, they eventually made it.
Knife: Woah, what is this place?
Voice: The ancients called it a floating island.
Knife: A floating island, huh?
Voice: Yes. A Floating island. If you approach that house over there, you'll be able to look inside the goody chest in there. Take the sweet precious loot from there and keep it.
Knife opened up the chest and found a balloon in it. He was obviously, disappointed.
Knife: What the hell man?
Voice: What do you mean? It's a shiny red balloon!
Knife: I'm not a kid anymore. Scratch that, I'm not a baby anymore.
Voice: Tie it around yourself. Trust me, the ancients knew the power when they found this.
Knife had noticed his slight oppression on the word found. It was shocking for Knife, but only a little bit. This means that the Corruptons, if it was even a plural thing, could have something to do with Terrarian History. RIght now, he was concerned about everything and what not. He'd need some more help, and still wasn't sure if he could trust this Corrupton yet. He'd have to give the Voice some time.
Voice: Jump.
Knife: What do I look like to you,Mario a slime?
Voice: Just. Do. It.
Knife had jumped in the air, and noticed that he could jump a lot higher than he thought he could.
Knife: Wow, what is this power?
Voice: First of all, call me Corrupton until I tell you my name, kid. Second of all, when the ancients found it, they had decided to make a mass production of it. Knowing their lack of technology, and that only the Skywarians can re-produce technology like this, I knew they'd fail.
Knife: A Skywarian?
Voice: We'll get on to that one later. Anyway, we should find other treasures.
Eventually, they found the two other treasures, and decided to make a move on with their lives. They'd been able to make it back to the Corruption easily, and now Knife could finally know Corrupton's real name. He couldn't wait, it was probably something cool like Death the Kid or Corruptor Maximus or something like that.
Corrupton: Well, we have yet to get down this chasm, am I right?
Knife: Yeah. Let's make it quick, okay?
Corrupton: Jump.
Knife: WHAT?!
Corrupton: Jump.
Knife: I'll die! You want me to die! Why?
Corrupton: Trust me. Killing you won't do me any good...
Knife: Fine. But what gadget of mine is giving me this ability?
Corrupton: The shoe. The horseshoe.
Knife gleefully petted his horseshoe, and jumped down. When he saw solid Ebonstone, he finally embraced the fact that he lost, that he was going to die. For the first time in his entire life, he would admit it. That he lost. As he got closer, he took a smile, realizing that he'd go back to the old world, or that there was even hope for it. He finally embraced it and accepted death. But as he hit the ground, all he could feel was the ground, and not the pain.
Corrupton: Well, we made it. And now, for my name.
Knife: Yeah!
Corrupton: As a Kid, my name was Knife. It's pretty popular you know.
Knife knew this, and other kids who called themselves Knife. Could he be one of them?
Corrupton: But my real name is... Cody Dragos.
Knife stared in shock. Knife's name was Cody Dragos.
Knife: Hold on.
Voice: Yes, young child?
Knife: I want to know more about you!
Voice: You'll want to know more, eh? You'll find out about me in due time...
Knife: Well then...

Voice: Tie it around yourself. Trust me, the ancients knew the power when they found this.
Knife had noticed his slight oppression on the word found. It was shocking for Knife, but only a little bit. This means that the Corruptons, if it was even a plural thing, could have something to do with Terrarian History. RIght now, he was concerned about everything and what not. He'd need some more help, and still wasn't sure if he could trust this Corrupton yet. He'd have to give the Voice some time.
Voice: Jump.
Knife: What do I look like to you,
Voice: Just. Do. It.
Knife had jumped in the air, and noticed that he could jump a lot higher than he thought he could.
Knife: Wow, what is this power?
Voice: First of all, call me Corrupton until I tell you my name, kid. Second of all, when the ancients found it, they had decided to make a mass production of it. Knowing their lack of technology, and that only the Skywarians can re-produce technology like this, I knew they'd fail.
Knife: A Skywarian?
Voice: We'll get on to that one later. Anyway, we should find other treasures.
Eventually, they found the two other treasures, and decided to make a move on with their lives. They'd been able to make it back to the Corruption easily, and now Knife could finally know Corrupton's real name. He couldn't wait, it was probably something cool like Death the Kid or Corruptor Maximus or something like that.
Corrupton: Well, we have yet to get down this chasm, am I right?
Knife: Yeah. Let's make it quick, okay?
Corrupton: Jump.
Knife: WHAT?!
Corrupton: Jump.
Knife: I'll die! You want me to die! Why?
Corrupton: Trust me. Killing you won't do me any good...
Knife: Fine. But what gadget of mine is giving me this ability?
Corrupton: The shoe. The horseshoe.
Knife gleefully petted his horseshoe, and jumped down. When he saw solid Ebonstone, he finally embraced the fact that he lost, that he was going to die. For the first time in his entire life, he would admit it. That he lost. As he got closer, he took a smile, realizing that he'd go back to the old world, or that there was even hope for it. He finally embraced it and accepted death. But as he hit the ground, all he could feel was the ground, and not the pain.
Corrupton: Well, we made it. And now, for my name.
Knife: Yeah!
Corrupton: As a Kid, my name was Knife. It's pretty popular you know.
Knife knew this, and other kids who called themselves Knife. Could he be one of them?
Corrupton: But my real name is... Cody Dragos.
Knife stared in shock. Knife's name was Cody Dragos.
Sukor: Tyguis... we have all of the supplies.
Tyguis: I know... my men have been getting to work on Project A and B...
Uskor: Ooh, what's project B?
Tyguis: Since you two are my most trusted soldiers, I guess I'll have to tell you...
Sukor: Good. We want to know!
Tyguis: Project B is... reviving the old Skeletal King. We're going to revive the Skeletal Kind to help us with the march on the dungeon, and then destroy the dungeon. Considering the fact that the Skeletal King was his teacher/mentor, so... he'll easily overpower him. When the old Skeletal King is done destroying that beast, we'll then have to neutralize him, because he's going to go on a rampage to destroy the world. In the case that we don't manage to neutralize him by the time he's out of our sights, we'll have our mech murder him brutally. It'll be fun to see some awesome action again. So, twins, what do you think of the plan?
Uskor: YOU'RE CRAZY! REVIVING THE GODDAMNED SKELETAL KING? DO YOU EVEN HAVE HIS REMAINS?
Tyguis: Yes. We have his body, intact. Why do you ask?
Uskor: YOU MANAGED TO GET THE F***ING SKELETAL KING'S BODY? WHAT THE HELL, TYGUIS! I'M GETTING THE F*** OUTTA HERE.
Tyguis: Wait, what's wrong with the plan.
Uskor: Hm... you want to... revive a used to be immortal being who will ravage the rest of the world, but you seem to think you can stop it after it destroys its own student. So, please tell me... how the hell will you do that?
Sukor: Simple. He's going to have the mech be based off of Skeletal King's powers and structures. Am I right, or do my thoughts deceive me?
Tyguis: Ding Ding Ding.
Sukor: I'll join, it seems like an excellently planned battle plan. You in, Uskor?
Uskor: No.
Sukor: Why not?
Uskor: Because. I quit.
Uskor had immediately left Tyguis' palace. He'd seen enough, done enough, and heard enough. He was a happy sunshine kinda person, not the obedient pawn Tyguis wanted him to become, or the one his brother had become. Tyguis instantly headed in the direction towards the Corruption. He'd been ready to fight with Knife. On the way there, however... he was stopped by a shadowy figure.
Figure: Stop. Do not proceed.
Uskor: Oh? And why is that?
Figure: Because it is my job to stop those from harming the Corruption.
Uskor: I'm not here to help destroy it, I'm here for a kid. Who are you anyway?
Figure: I am a Corrupton, one of the 12. I'm one of the 6 sent to the past to stop the Corruption from being destroyed, because in one timeline, it was brutally murdered... and we didn't want that happening here. Now, how can you prove your innocence?
Uskor: A Corrupton?
Figure: Yes, we are a part of the newly founded council, which is not founded in this part of the timeline yet. We're here to make sure nothing goes wrong with the corruption. I need some sort of identification you're not working with certain people.
Uskor showed him the I.D. he had.
Uskor: Now it's your turn, I guess. Tell me who's on the list of enemies and your corruptons.
---List---
Corruptons (In the Past):
Cody Dragos
Ven Zix (Me)
Isaac Lowelaugh

Uskor: Cody Dragos... where is that name familiar?
Ven Zix: Don't know.
Uskor: Hey wait... why are you telling me all of this? So you can kill me?
Ven Zix: No... you're a valuable person in the future.
Uskor was shocked at this. The class clown, valuable? He'd spent the rest of the journey (until he got to the corruption) wondering why he would be a valuable lesson. But once he got the corruption, he had asked himself a question that had plagued him since he found out about himself.
Uskor: What... about my brother?
Tyguis: I know... my men have been getting to work on Project A and B...
Uskor: Ooh, what's project B?

Uskor was shocked at this. The class clown, valuable? He'd spent the rest of the journey (until he got to the corruption) wondering why he would be a valuable lesson. But once he got the corruption, he had asked himself a question that had plagued him since he found out about himself.
Uskor: What... about my brother?
Uskor: Well? What about my brother?
Ven Zix: Your brother... I have... no intel about him right now...
No intel? What had this meant? That his brother was killed in the future? Or had gone missing? What kind of trickery was this? What was going on?
Ven Zix: But don't worry, I'm sure your brother is alive. Now, shall we find Cody Dragos, or as you know him, Knife?
The two had gone ahead to find Knife and his... older self?
---With Knife and his... older self?---
Knife: What do you mean you're me?
Cody Dragos: Simple as that. I'm you in this timeline, but in the future!
Knife: I... don't believe this. Just... get out of my way. I have some things to destroy.
Knife had destroyed the ebonstone with rage and fear, until he found his first Shadow orb.
Knife: What is this... thing?
Cody Dragos: It's a shadow orb. Go ahead and destroy one.
Knife had done just that, in the middle of his sentence. He'd found some kind of gun.
*A HORRIBLE CHILL GOES DOWN HIS SPINE*
Cody Dragos: Ah, the musket. This was used in the Civil War of America, a few centuries back. I read about this. Before the Corruption and other things existed! It was only the Purity, Snow, Desert and a few other places... (he's talking about modern times).
Knife: It says... Union's Best!
Cody Dragos: Ah, the ancient war of America! It's... Civil War. Between itself. The Union, the winners, and the Confederacy, the losers.
Knife had destroyed one more, and got a Ball O' Hurt. He'd been stunned by the grace of this weapon. As he went to destroy the third weapon, a bit of fear struck him. He wasn't sure what he should do. Was he even ready for this fight? He might be, he might not be. Only time could tell...
Voice: Hey, Knife!
Knife turned around, only to see Ven Zix and Uskor.
Knife: Hey, Uskor, where's Sukor? And watcha doing here?
Uskor: He's not with us anymore.
Knife: HE DIED?! OH... I'M SO SORRY...
Knife hadn't known Sukor long enough to cry for him, but did know Uskor long enough to cry for him. He'd mourn for Sukor, but just wouldn't cry.
Uskor: No, he went along with Tyguis' plan...
Knife: The one to destroy the dungeon with the mech? What's so bad about that?
Uskor: They plan to release the Skeleton King... so unstable.
Knife had just looked at him in confusion, as he didn't understand what he had meant.
Uskor: Some time ago, there was one Skeleton who decided to rise above the rest of them. He eventually became known as the Skeleton King. By that point, he'd gained so much power, he was much larger than just a skeleton. He had decided to take an apprentice, and so he named his apprentice Skeletron, the beast we're going to be fighting. However, some time later, the Skeleton King was defeated by a human and was sealed inside the human, who now "guards" the dungeon.
Knife had just had his history lesson, huh?
Knife: Wow... so Tyguis plans to do all that? But what's the relation between your brother and this... this... this mess?
Uskor: My brother thought it was a military strategy, and a clever one too. My foolish brother, him. He's such an idiot. I never thought I'd be serious!
Knife: Yeah, we've... got to stop them or something like that. What's our first plan?
Zenfir: Defeating me... you guys haven't forgotten about me, have you? Guys? GUYS?!
Knife: NO, WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU.
Zenfir: Okay, good. I'll be waiting!
Knife: Anyway, plan?
Uskor: Simple: We recruit Zenfir and fight the beast.
Knife & Zenfir: WHAAAAAAT?
Knife: I don't even know what Zenfir is!
Zenfir: And I might not be able to take on the Skeleton King? Scratch that, I cannot take on the Skeleton King.
Uskor: That's why I said hire to do work, not force to do all the work!
Zenfir: Ah... I... see. Well then, if you both can manage to defeat me, then I'll be up for hire!
Uskor: Deal.
Knife: ... ... ... Deal.
The fight lasted for a very long time. At the start of the fight, Knife was greatly surprised to find out that Zenfir was a worm. He wasn't too crazy about it when they reached the middle of the fight, Knife was no longer surprised. Zenfir had managed to stump Knife throughout the whole fight, but was being stumped by Uskor. This fight had obviously meant a lot to Uskor, because Knife had never seen him in a state like this. He was so focused on beating Zenfir, and then eventually rescuing his brother from the evil Tyguis, his former boss. He'd also had a personal grudge with the Skeleton King, for his own reasons. In order to defeat him, he'd have to recruit the one who has defeated him in the past. During the entire fight, Zenfir had been juked and tricked by Uskor. This fight had already been planned out by Uskor. Eventually, when Uskor and Knife had beaten Zenfir, Uskor had went at it again and again for more and more loot. Uskor had given Knife the materials in order to make the Shadow Armor. When they'd reached their house, Jalen the Arms Dealer was there. He'd moved in, and supplied Uskor and Knife with new guns. By the time they had made new armors, they'd gone back to the Corruption in order to recruit their newest member of their miniature army, Zenfir (he was in a humanoid state). To their surprise however, Zenfir had held up his end of the deal. What was of even more shock, however, was that the Corruptons had completely disappeared. Not even Zenfir knew where they went, which wasn't a lie at all. They'd need to move on to their next target... the Jungle. They were going to recruit their newest member, Belle, the Queen Bee. But first, they decided they'd need to do some fishing, and thus needed to stop at the ocean. This fight had been theirs, or so they thought. I guess only time will tell, huh?
---With Tyguis---
Sukor: How much of the resurrection is done, boss?
Tyguis: It's 25% done.
Sukor: How much time left?
Tyguis: Not too much. This is going according to plan.
Sukor: Good, I'll be in my... dorm, shall I call it?
Tyguis: Go ahead, Sukor... Go ahead...
Ven Zix: Your brother... I have... no intel about him right now...
No intel? What had this meant? That his brother was killed in the future? Or had gone missing? What kind of trickery was this? What was going on?
Ven Zix: But don't worry, I'm sure your brother is alive. Now, shall we find Cody Dragos, or as you know him, Knife?

Tyguis: Not too much. This is going according to plan.
Sukor: Good, I'll be in my... dorm, shall I call it?
Tyguis: Go ahead, Sukor... Go ahead...
---2 Weeks Later---
Tyguis: Well, Sukor. We have cherry good news!
Sukor: And what might that be?
Tyguis: We're 50% done!
Sukor: And it took us two weeks why?
Tyguis: Well, there was a complication here and there, but... it all worked out!
Sukor: Okay, but why tell me we're 50% done?
Tyguis: We... need your help?
Sukor: What would you need my help with?
Tyguis: Since you're a Military General now-
Sukor: I'm a MILITARY GENERAL?! WOW, I never thought I'd reach this day
Tyguis: Indeed. Anyway, we're going to need your help on the tactics of the Machine Mech-Suit we're building.
Sukor: Indeed. Completely understood, Sir Tyguis.
Tyguis: Sir Tyguis... I like that name.
---With Knife, Uskor and Zenfir---
Uskor: Well, it's been a while. When we recruit Belle, we'll have quite the army! Or am I wrong, my friends?
Zenfir: Nope! This is all under control!
Knife: Indeed it is! Since I already defeated her, do you think she'll join us?
Uskor: Without doubt!
Zenfir: Not sure... there's a reason her name is Queen B...
Knife: What?
Uskor: You're not... old enough to understand.
Zenfir: Yeah, leave all the complicated stuff to us.
Knife: @Gotcha!
Zenfir: We should... go fishing!
Knife: With what?
Zenfir: With the "ore" I obtained from my previous body, I made us all fishing poles!
Knife: Why'd you put Quotation Marks around "ore"?
Uskor: Because, the ore is more like his actual being: And no, it's not poop. It's his essence, in a physical form, while the scales are also his essence in physical form, just altered.
There was quite some time which had passed, because Uskor and Zenfir had so much to explain to Knife. They'd had a good run around the world, and eventually reached the dungeon, of which they thought about their strategy there. Eventually, they made a temporary shelter that they could go back to and sleep in. They had spent a reasonable amount of time in the shelter, but eventually left. They had to travel across another desert, just to get to the ocean. However, when they got there... they were really shocked.
Knife: There are other kids besides me?!
Fishing Boy: Yup!
Fishing Girl: We exist, ya know!
Knife: Woah... more people... what does this mean, Uskor?
Fishing Boy: It means we wanna join you wherever you were going! As long as there's fishing!
Uskor: We were going to the ocean right now, to fish. That's... kinda why we're here.
Fishing Girl: I see, you got poles with ya?
Zenfir: Yes. Three.
The Fishing Girl screamed in disgust when she saw Zenfir, while the boy was inspired.
Fishing Boy: WOAH! YOU LOOK AWESOME! I WANNA BE YOU!
Zenfir: Sorry about this, but... you can't. I have an extra mask, however.
Fishing Girl: You may look disgusting, but you do look cool.
Knife: I know, right?
Fishing Boy: Yeah!
Uskor: On to the point... who are you two?
Fishing Boy: We're Anglers!
Fishing Girl: The Angler Twins!
Fishing Boy: I'm Jimmy!
Fishing Girl: And I'm Tori!
Tori stared at Knife, slightly blushing.
Uskor: Oh. Okay. Group huddle!
The three (Knife, Zenfir and Uskor) huddled around each other, asking each other questions. Eventually, it had stopped.
Knife: We've come to a decision!
Uskor: Indeedy sir!
Zenfir: We're currently fighting a war, and don't want you two to get hurt; you're just kids, after all.
Tori: What about him?
Zenfir: He's not just a kid, you know. He's the one who defeated Queen Belle! He defeated me, Zenfir!
Tori: So?
Zenfir: Fine. Depends on how old you are, and how you two can be useful to us in this war.
Jimmy: We're-
Tori: I'll handle this one; We're 12, and soon's our birthday. We can also help because not only can we fish up materials, we can also fight! I'm a wizard, and my brother here-
Jimmy: Is a Ranger!
Tori sighed.
Uskor: Fine, you're both of use to us...
Jimmy was excited, but able to contain it. As for Tori? She burst out in tears of joy, and proceeded to hug Knife a lot, over and over...
Knife: O... Okay? We should get moving to find Belle.
Zenfir: Not yet, Knife; we haven't gone fishing yet!
Eventually, they did go fishing, and had a lot of fun with it too. Jimmy had taught Knife how to fish, and then he and Jimmy had a fishing contest. Naturally, Jimmy won easily. He'd even beat his sister, although he wasn't as good as she was. Tori was just off because of her excitement in joining the team. The fun couldn't last forever, however. Eventually, they went back to the temporary shelter they'd built back at the dungeon, and stayed the night there. When it was morning time, they'd started the journey that would take a bit of time. They'd spent some time in the desert, passed the entrance to the cavern where Knife had first met Tyguis, and passed the rest of the NPCs. When Garrett and Kayla had saw Knife again, they apologized, without a clue with what was about to go down. Knife told them, expecting them to deny him the right to fight in this war, however, to his surprise, they'd let him go. He collected all the things that the Travelling Merchant had given him, thanking him. However, he'd still have no clue with the Rune Stone. It was sort of an oddball... anyway, he'd passed by the rest of the NPCs, and stocked up on materials. Knife's friendship with Jimmy grew closer, while Tori's hopes for being in a relationship with Knife wasn't as successful, but they'd become better friends. Eventually, they'd left for the jungle. It'd been two weeks when they got there, while they still didn't know what Tyguis and Sukor were planning. Now, up to the Jungle, eh?
Knife: Huh, so this is where she is?
Belle: Indeed so! Did you miss me, my sweet Knife?
Knife: Well, you're in humanoid form... so that's gonna be easy.
Belle: To take me down? I am grand, my sweet Knife... you wouldn't take me down, would you? Not a poor Queen Belle?
Zenfir: My god... Belle...
Belle: Oh my, it's been a while since we've chatted, huh?
Zenfir: Not really a while... anyway, we'd like to recruit you in our army.
Belle: Okay.
Zenfir was shocked, because the last time they met Belle was a total B-
Zenfir: That quickly? You're normally a b-
Belle: When I fought the child here, he proved to have grace, intelligence, strength and strategy! I want to fight beside him!
Knife wasn't flattered at all.
Belle: So, are we off?
---Two Weeks Later---
Belle: So this is... the legendary dungeon, huh? Sounds cool!
Zenfir: Indeed, huh?
Knife: Don't forget, it's also a battleground for the next big war.
Uskor: Don't forget about the war...
---With Tyguis---
Tyguis: My fellow champions of the earth itself! We have succeeded thus far, and I am here to tell you all great news!
Sukor: Indeed. The News is great. For starters...
Tyguis: Sukor has become my Right hand man! And in more good news... The... Project, is 95% done. Both resurrecting the Skeleton King, AND THE MECH ITSELF! A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!
And the crowd, went... wild.
Tyguis: Well, Sukor. We have cherry good news!
Sukor: And what might that be?
Tyguis: We're 50% done!
Sukor: And it took us two weeks why?
Tyguis: Well, there was a complication here and there, but... it all worked out!
Sukor: Okay, but why tell me we're 50% done?
Tyguis: We... need your help?
Sukor: What would you need my help with?
Tyguis: Since you're a Military General now-
Sukor: I'm a MILITARY GENERAL?! WOW, I never thought I'd reach this day
Tyguis: Indeed. Anyway, we're going to need your help on the tactics of the Machine Mech-Suit we're building.
Sukor: Indeed. Completely understood, Sir Tyguis.
Tyguis: Sir Tyguis... I like that name.
---With Knife, Uskor and Zenfir---
Uskor: Well, it's been a while. When we recruit Belle, we'll have quite the army! Or am I wrong, my friends?
Zenfir: Nope! This is all under control!
Knife: Indeed it is! Since I already defeated her, do you think she'll join us?
Uskor: Without doubt!
Zenfir: Not sure... there's a reason her name is Queen B...
Knife: What?
Uskor: You're not... old enough to understand.
Zenfir: Yeah, leave all the complicated stuff to us.
Knife: @Gotcha!
Zenfir: We should... go fishing!
Knife: With what?
Zenfir: With the "ore" I obtained from my previous body, I made us all fishing poles!
Knife: Why'd you put Quotation Marks around "ore"?
Uskor: Because, the ore is more like his actual being: And no, it's not poop. It's his essence, in a physical form, while the scales are also his essence in physical form, just altered.
There was quite some time which had passed, because Uskor and Zenfir had so much to explain to Knife. They'd had a good run around the world, and eventually reached the dungeon, of which they thought about their strategy there. Eventually, they made a temporary shelter that they could go back to and sleep in. They had spent a reasonable amount of time in the shelter, but eventually left. They had to travel across another desert, just to get to the ocean. However, when they got there... they were really shocked.
Knife: There are other kids besides me?!
Fishing Boy: Yup!
Fishing Girl: We exist, ya know!
Knife: Woah... more people... what does this mean, Uskor?
Fishing Boy: It means we wanna join you wherever you were going! As long as there's fishing!
Uskor: We were going to the ocean right now, to fish. That's... kinda why we're here.
Fishing Girl: I see, you got poles with ya?
Zenfir: Yes. Three.
The Fishing Girl screamed in disgust when she saw Zenfir, while the boy was inspired.
Fishing Boy: WOAH! YOU LOOK AWESOME! I WANNA BE YOU!
Zenfir: Sorry about this, but... you can't. I have an extra mask, however.
Fishing Girl: You may look disgusting, but you do look cool.
Knife: I know, right?
Fishing Boy: Yeah!
Uskor: On to the point... who are you two?
Fishing Boy: We're Anglers!
Fishing Girl: The Angler Twins!
Fishing Boy: I'm Jimmy!
Fishing Girl: And I'm Tori!
Tori stared at Knife, slightly blushing.
Uskor: Oh. Okay. Group huddle!
The three (Knife, Zenfir and Uskor) huddled around each other, asking each other questions. Eventually, it had stopped.
Knife: We've come to a decision!
Uskor: Indeedy sir!
Zenfir: We're currently fighting a war, and don't want you two to get hurt; you're just kids, after all.
Tori: What about him?
Zenfir: He's not just a kid, you know. He's the one who defeated Queen Belle! He defeated me, Zenfir!
Tori: So?
Zenfir: Fine. Depends on how old you are, and how you two can be useful to us in this war.
Jimmy: We're-
Tori: I'll handle this one; We're 12, and soon's our birthday. We can also help because not only can we fish up materials, we can also fight! I'm a wizard, and my brother here-
Jimmy: Is a Ranger!
Tori sighed.
Uskor: Fine, you're both of use to us...
Jimmy was excited, but able to contain it. As for Tori? She burst out in tears of joy, and proceeded to hug Knife a lot, over and over...
Knife: O... Okay? We should get moving to find Belle.
Zenfir: Not yet, Knife; we haven't gone fishing yet!
Eventually, they did go fishing, and had a lot of fun with it too. Jimmy had taught Knife how to fish, and then he and Jimmy had a fishing contest. Naturally, Jimmy won easily. He'd even beat his sister, although he wasn't as good as she was. Tori was just off because of her excitement in joining the team. The fun couldn't last forever, however. Eventually, they went back to the temporary shelter they'd built back at the dungeon, and stayed the night there. When it was morning time, they'd started the journey that would take a bit of time. They'd spent some time in the desert, passed the entrance to the cavern where Knife had first met Tyguis, and passed the rest of the NPCs. When Garrett and Kayla had saw Knife again, they apologized, without a clue with what was about to go down. Knife told them, expecting them to deny him the right to fight in this war, however, to his surprise, they'd let him go. He collected all the things that the Travelling Merchant had given him, thanking him. However, he'd still have no clue with the Rune Stone. It was sort of an oddball... anyway, he'd passed by the rest of the NPCs, and stocked up on materials. Knife's friendship with Jimmy grew closer, while Tori's hopes for being in a relationship with Knife wasn't as successful, but they'd become better friends. Eventually, they'd left for the jungle. It'd been two weeks when they got there, while they still didn't know what Tyguis and Sukor were planning. Now, up to the Jungle, eh?
Knife: Huh, so this is where she is?
Belle: Indeed so! Did you miss me, my sweet Knife?
Knife: Well, you're in humanoid form... so that's gonna be easy.
Belle: To take me down? I am grand, my sweet Knife... you wouldn't take me down, would you? Not a poor Queen Belle?
Zenfir: My god... Belle...
Belle: Oh my, it's been a while since we've chatted, huh?
Zenfir: Not really a while... anyway, we'd like to recruit you in our army.
Belle: Okay.
Zenfir was shocked, because the last time they met Belle was a total B-
Zenfir: That quickly? You're normally a b-
Belle: When I fought the child here, he proved to have grace, intelligence, strength and strategy! I want to fight beside him!
Knife wasn't flattered at all.
Belle: So, are we off?
---Two Weeks Later---
Belle: So this is... the legendary dungeon, huh? Sounds cool!
Zenfir: Indeed, huh?
Knife: Don't forget, it's also a battleground for the next big war.
Uskor: Don't forget about the war...
---With Tyguis---
Tyguis: My fellow champions of the earth itself! We have succeeded thus far, and I am here to tell you all great news!
Sukor: Indeed. The News is great. For starters...
Tyguis: Sukor has become my Right hand man! And in more good news... The... Project, is 95% done. Both resurrecting the Skeleton King, AND THE MECH ITSELF! A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!
And the crowd, went... wild.
Uskor: Well, they should be appearing soon.
Belle: I'm ready for total war!
Zenfir: Whatever, William Sherman...
---With Tyguis---
Tyguis: Men, women... children... generals, and more! We're 100% done with the Mech and the Ressurection of the Skeleton King. The Mech is also done, my friends... we've done it all. We're going to show them total war! We're going to destroy the Jungle, the traitors, and the Dungeon! Skeletron originally made a mistake! We're going to make them pay for everything that they've done. We're finally going to destroy everybody that has ever betrayed us! This is it! We march over to the dungeon, and end this all right now! Who the hell is with me?
The crowd went wild. Tyguis and his army had begun to march over towards the Dungeon, and now, we focus on the journey there:
Tyguis: Sukor.
Sukor: Sir?
Tyguis: Your brother... we need to talk about him.
Sukor: What about him?
Tyguis: He stands in our way.
Sukor: Good. All the more reason to murder him...
The worst part was, that... Sukor was 100% serious. He'd wanted to murder his brother.
Tyguis: You know... I have new plans about the Skeleton King. I never actually wanted him to fight, you know.
Sukor: Huh? I don't understand.
Tyguis: My plan... is to become the SK.
Sukor: YOU WANT TO BECOME THE SKELETON KING?!
Tyguis: Yes. And you, as my apprentice...
Sukor: Yes, sir!
Tyguis: So, you agree?
Sukor: I am at your command, boss. I will not alter my body, but I will become your second in command.
Tyguis: I'm... glad about this. This way, we can finally take over the world, in my vision.
Sukor: In your... vision?
Tyguis: Yes. With Skeletons overrunning the world. It'll be absolute chaos for the humans, but... absolute victory for me. I am the only one who matters, besides my army. When everything is right, we'll be able to set the world the way it's meant to be.
Sukor: Yes, sir! I have similar plans for the world, but your plans will have to do.
Tyguis: Why did you not go running after your brother when he left?
Sukor: Why did you not send assassins after him?
Tyguis: You first, Sukor.
Sukor: Fine. I didn't go running after my brother because I know that he's an eternal fool, and that his beliefs weren't right, nor will they ever be. Your beliefs happen to match up with mine. Also, it'll look bad for her.
Tyguis: I see... you're doing this all for a girl?
Sukor: No. My first reason was the main one.
Tyguis: Yeah, my wife is also worried about me. But now, to answer your question: I didn't try to kill him yet because of three reasons: 1) He's not even worth the trouble, you were, you are, the better twin. I'd rather have you, the smarter, stronger one around. 2) I want to fight him when he's actually trying. There's no way he can beat us. Not with our skeleton king. And... 3) I'll have a lot of satisfaction from killing him. He's going to be the easy kill.
Sukor: Boss Tyguis. It seems to be that we've... made it to the Dungeon. I can see the traitors.
Tyguis: Let's... start the ritual.
And with the finishing of the ritual, Tyguis had not changed a bit, but he felt even stronger than before. He had the ability to go into the Skeleton King's size, which means he will also get the power. This battle was going to be the biggest battle yet. Bigger than the one with William Sherman. This battle... was the true meaning of TOTAL WAR.
Knife: They're... here. We'll be able to do this, right guys?
Uskor: I know it.
Zenfir: Let's Battle!
Belle: I guess it's time, huh?
Jimmy: Do you think we'll die?
Tori: No, we've got this.
Knife: I hope so, guys. I hope so.
Belle: I'm ready for total war!
Zenfir: Whatever, William Sherman...
---With Tyguis---
Tyguis: Men, women... children... generals, and more! We're 100% done with the Mech and the Ressurection of the Skeleton King. The Mech is also done, my friends... we've done it all.

Belle: I guess it's time, huh?
Jimmy: Do you think we'll die?
Tori: No, we've got this.
Knife: I hope so, guys. I hope so.
Tyguis: Well. It seems to be night time, so I guess this war can really-
Old Man: No.
Tyguis: What are you going to do about it?
Old Man: Simple. I'll kill you.
Tyguis: What, an old... wait a minute...
Old Man: Catching on, are you?
Zenfir: So Tyguis finally catches on?
Belle: About time.
Old Man: I am Lloyd, the sealer of The Real Skeleton King, and his apprentice. The Skeleton King you wish to become is not at his full state. Even with you "100% Done". You're not going to achieve your goal. I think it's time-
Skeletron: I CAME OUT.
Immediately, Skeletron came spurting out of Lloyd, the Clothier. To everyone's surprise, Lloyd was completely fine. He was still ready to fight.
Skeletron: Oh, I get it... you wish to become my master, is that it? You wish to become the strongest skeleton in the world? IS THAT IT? I will have you know... you're not going to win this petty war between you and the humans, a skeleton, and the two... beings.
Zenfir: Hey!
Belle: Yeah, we're here too!
Skeletron: Anyway, I'd like to participate in this war... in my humanoid form. This seems like it'll be fun. After that, the victors will face me for access to my dungeon.
Tyguis charged at Skeletron, in his humanoid form. He attempted to slash Skeletron, but instead, was knocked onto his back. Skeletron went for another strike, but Sukor had stabbed Skeletron before then. Skeletron had been surprised by the attack, but easily managed it. He then repeatedly tried to jab at Skeletron, with no success until the last jab. By then, Skeletron had almost tripped, and fell onto the barrel of Tyguis' gun. Tyguis then shot him, forcing him to stumble. Belle had then interfered, and spit pollen at Sukor, who easily dodged him. Sukor had attempted to stab him, only to be flipped over by Uskor. Uskor had shown great disappointment in Sukor, and they clashed and clashed. Jimmy and Tori were busy holding off the army, Knife had attempted to go for Tyguis. Tyguis had taunted Knife, to no success, however. Knife had repeatedly stabbed Tyguis, and the battle persisted like this for two hours. When those two hours passed, something strange happened. Tyguis was going into his SK State. He grew in size, and in power. He suddenly took Skeletron up by his head, and to his surprise, he split into bones and reappeared behind Tyguis. At this point, Sukor had also reappeared behind him, and stabbed Skeletron. He'd taken the hit, and then stabbed Tyguis in a weak spot only he knew about. Tyguis had shrunk in size, and returned to his original state. When Sukor had taken his final hit, he went for Knife, and what happened next surprised all of them. Uskor had cut Sukor's head off. To everyone's surprise, Uskor silently cried next. He'd loved his brother, but it didn't seem to be the other way around.
Skeletron: What. In. The. Actual. Hell.
Uskor: It... had to be done. As for you...
Uskor casted a sealing spell, forbidden Skeletal Technique, to seal Tyguis into the Earth. Tyguis had been struggling, but failed. Knife and the Angler Twins had taken care of the army.
Skeletron: The war... is over.
(It took 3 Days).
Uskor: Indeed. We must fight you to proceed into the dungeon.
Skeletron: No. I will go into my humanoid form, and follow you around, Knife. Your leadership may be non-existent at times, most of the time, but when it is, it displays true greatness. We shall proceed.
Lloyd: Then I guess I'll join you guys.
And with this journey, their expedition to the Dungeon was done. Is this story done? No. There's a long part to go. We haven't even reached hardmode yet, have we? HAVE WE? NO!
---With... Tyguis---
Tyguis: I'll find a way to escape this prison, oh I will... just a matter of time.
Voice: You and me both, huh, pal?
Tyguis: And who might you be?
Voice: The Real Skeleton King. You're... the imposter.
Tyguis: What's it to ya, B****.
Voice: Nothing... we just need to work on our plan out.
Tyguis: Indeed.
Old Man: No.
Tyguis: What are you going to do about it?
Old Man: Simple. I'll kill you.
Tyguis: What, an old... wait a minute...
Old Man: Catching on, are you?
Zenfir: So Tyguis finally catches on?

Tyguis: What's it to ya, B****.
Voice: Nothing... we just need to work on our plan out.
Tyguis: Indeed.
Knife: Wow. This really is... brilliant. And huge! Really Huge! Super Huge!
Skeletron: Yup. Welcome to my home!
Lloyd: Yeah, it's bigger than I imagined!
Tori: Indeed. I'm scared... Knife... hold my hand?
Knife: Can't.
Tori: Why not?
Knife: Holding this Knife and Sukor's head.
Tori: Oh... okay...
Jimmy: Why is my sister more important in the plot than I am?
Uskor: Hm?
Jimmy: Nothing...
Belle: Oh well. We won the war, so I guess we did it all.
Zenfir: Indeed. We did it all. We've got nothing to worry-
And at that moment, they heard a scream. Everyone came running towards it, will Tori cowered to Knife's legs.
Knife: Ah!
Tori: I'm... I'm... scared...
Jimmy whispered under his breath.
Jimmy: Yeah, sure... the girl who could take down the giant Eye is totally scared...
Belle: It's getting closer!
Zenfir: No... we are! Let's go!
The group ran towards the scream, and grew more fearful when they got closer. When they finally got there, they were surprised with what they found. They found two people tied up, who needed help.
Kelly: Hello, I'm Kelly! A mechanic!
Nort: And I'm... *sigh*, the Goblin Tinkerer.
Zenfir: And what might you two be doing down here?
Nort: We were... tied up by that guy.
Voice: You bet. It was me.
When everyone looked up, they weren't surprised. Not one bit.
Knife: Another Skeleton?
Dark Caster: Sorry to disappoint you, but to make it up, I'll tell you something: I'm no normal caster. I'm sort of... a special breed, that's how we'll put it.
Knife: Still another skeleton.
Skeletron: Special breeds? In my dun-
Dark Caster: Sorry, Master Skeletron.
Skeletron: Hmm?
Dark Caster: I didn't mean to be like this in your presence.
Skeletron: No. Keep it up, I'm looking for a new villain to fight.
Dark Caster: In that case, you may call me... Vesk
And so, the next villain was starting his glorious reign. However, he was a different skeleton than Tyguis... a very different one... who operated very differently. This one didn't need an army, or a Skeleton King. He just needed himself.
Skeletron: Yup. Welcome to my home!
Lloyd: Yeah, it's bigger than I imagined!
Tori: Indeed. I'm scared... Knife... hold my hand?
Knife: Can't.
Tori: Why not?
Knife: Holding this Knife and Sukor's head.
Tori: Oh... okay...
Jimmy: Why is my sister more important in the plot than I am?
Uskor: Hm?
Jimmy: Nothing...
Belle: Oh well. We won the war, so I guess we did it all.
Zenfir: Indeed. We did it all. We've got nothing to worry-

And so, the next villain was starting his glorious reign. However, he was a different skeleton than Tyguis... a very different one... who operated very differently. This one didn't need an army, or a Skeleton King. He just needed himself.
Vesk: Well. I'm very glad to meet you all. I guess I'll be plotting to destroy you all, then. See ya.
Skeletron: You're so... open about it. I like you, kid.
Vesk: Thanks. Give me a while, I've... got things to prepare. Lots of things.
Skeletron: Oh no... we might make an enemy before we fight you, yo.
Vesk: That's fine with me, I think I'll watch you all for a while.
Knife: Wait, why did you tie them up? That's what I want to know.
Vesk: Because... they were going to die if they interfered.
Knife: That's strange...
Vesk: I needed them alive, like how I need all of you alive. You're all... components.
Knife: Components?
Vesk: Yes. Exactly what it sounds like. I have things to compare and things to sacrifice. I'll be seeing you all soon. Very soon.
Knife: Wait, hold-
Vesk: Bye.
Vesk wasn't going to be seen in a while. Knife never knew Vesk's components, and whether they were truly evil or not. Was Vesk putting on a facade? I don't know. Knife untied the two NPC's and began to ask them questions. After everything was over, they returned to Isaac and his house. Isaac had a lot to say to them.
Isaac: It turns out... we're on the verge of war. I got a letter from the Goblin Lord Xyrzax. He's approaching from the west. He'll be here soon... he's going to be here in 1 month.
Knife: My birthday... that means... oh no.
Tori: Oh my, we should celebrate!
Knife: It's in 3 weeks, so I guess we can...
Isaac: Wait. There are more good news. A Summoner named Xylea has officially joined our cause.
Knife: He sounds cool. We'll murk dem kids!
Isaac: Heh, kids these days... Xylea's a girl.
Knife: Okay.
Even someone as dense as Mario could feel the jealousy in the room. Tori's rage and jealousy was silent, but raging. Xylea walked into the room, and when her height was short for an adult. At that moment, everyone except Isaac (because he already knew) found out she was Knife's age.
Knife: Anyway, where was I? I'm Knife... The Legendary Bounty Hunter. Xyrzax is as good as dead.
Xylea: Add some quotations around that legendary!
Tori: No. I've seen him take people down! The Tyguis!
Xylea: Too bad we're both the chosen-
Garrett: No. You're wrong. Knife is the chosen one, you're just a side character. Funny enough, I can see you two becoming husband and-
Tori stepped on his foot.
Isaac: No, my bets are on Tori.
Xylea stepped on his foot.
Knife: My my, anyway... we should probably go and do this thing!
Jimmy: Knife... we need to talk about something...
Knife and Jimmy had walked out of the house, and they'd gone to the Ocean to talk about his personal conquest. Jimmy's goal was to defeat the Wall of Flesh, except... he'd wanted to do it with a best friend, but he couldn't, since he didn't have any. After the sun set, Knife and Jimmy took a trip to hell.
Jimmy: I found a Voodoo Doll.
Knife: What should we do with it?
Jimmy: We... we... keep it.
---With Tyguis---
Tyguis: We'll escape...
SK: No, not yet... we need to wait until the it's defeated.
Tyguis: Indeed, what do we do now?
Vesk: I don't know, what do we do now?
Tyguis: What the hell?
Vesk: I used up half my energy getting here, and am now getting back to my place. Good to know I can travel here...
Skeletron: You're so... open about it. I like you, kid.
Vesk: Thanks. Give me a while, I've... got things to prepare. Lots of things.
Skeletron: Oh no... we might make an enemy before we fight you, yo.
Vesk: That's fine with me, I think I'll watch you all for a while.
Knife: Wait, why did you tie them up? That's what I want to know.
Vesk: Because... they were going to die if they interfered.
Knife: That's strange...
Vesk: I needed them alive, like how I need all of you alive. You're all... components.
Knife: Components?
Vesk: Yes. Exactly what it sounds like. I have things to compare and things to sacrifice. I'll be seeing you all soon. Very soon.
Knife: Wait, hold-
Vesk: Bye.
Vesk wasn't going to be seen in a while. Knife never knew Vesk's components, and whether they were truly evil or not. Was Vesk putting on a facade? I don't know. Knife untied the two NPC's and began to ask them questions. After everything was over, they returned to Isaac and his house. Isaac had a lot to say to them.
Isaac: It turns out... we're on the verge of war. I got a letter from the Goblin Lord Xyrzax. He's approaching from the west. He'll be here soon... he's going to be here in 1 month.
Knife: My birthday... that means... oh no.
Tori: Oh my, we should celebrate!
Knife: It's in 3 weeks, so I guess we can...
Isaac: Wait. There are more good news. A Summoner named Xylea has officially joined our cause.
Knife: He sounds cool. We'll murk dem kids!
Isaac: Heh, kids these days... Xylea's a girl.

Vesk: I don't know, what do we do now?
Tyguis: What the hell?
Vesk: I used up half my energy getting here, and am now getting back to my place. Good to know I can travel here...
Jimmy: Well Knife, We should probably be going back up, huh?
Knife: Indeed. But where do we hide the... the thing that... the doll?
Jimmy: Let's just get out of here.
Knife: Indeed.
---Some time later---
Knife: We're back, what's-
Isaac: Shh... the fight's getting good.
All Knife heard were two girls screaming. He'd decided it was best he didn't check it out. He and Jimmy decided they'd go fishing, and that's exactly what they did.
---Cat Fight---
Tori: Oh really, Knife would choose you, huh?
Xylea: Why wouldn't he? I am overflowing with brilliance, a beautiful overflowing bosom-
Tori: Oh, really?! Because Knife likes small cute girls who aren't taller than him!
Xylea: You think that Knife likes small girls? PFF! Knife needs a real woman!
Tori: Knife needs a girl his age!
Celestia: Which one does he like?
Tori: I don't know, but this meaty is a dead meaty !
Xylea: Oh, is that so? My minions will stomp you straight into the ground, ! Not like there's much difference!
And that's how the fight between the fight between the Mage and the Summoner began. At least Knife and Jimmy didn't fight, right? Trust me, they didn't fight for a while, if they do at all. They're really best friends... unlike Xylea, the meaty Japanese Girl, and Tori, the small American. They'll be even more mad to find out who the archer of the group is going to be. Anyway, let's fast forward this cat fight, huh?
Xylea: Rip her to shreds, Horna!
The Hornet came rushing towards Tori, stingers pointing towards her, and Horna's main stinger ready to poison Horna. However, Tori easily destroyed Horna.
Tori: Horna's dead now!
Xylea easily summoned another Horna, and two more now. The fight was beginning to escalate to a level where it couldn't stop, so someone had to step in.
Lloyd: Enough, both of you. I don't want to have to seal both your powers.
Tori: Fine, but the meaty started it all, like the ing -up she is.
Xylea: Oh I'm the -up? Please you scrawny , I'd wreck you 'till you're the next skeleton king.
Lloyd: If you both don't shut the- shut up, I'll make you both the next SK.
Xylea: Fine!
Tori: Yeah, Lloyd!
And they both went their separate ways for the moment being.
---With Knife and Jimmy---
Knife: Fishing is a cool pastime.
Jimmy: Indeed. It's a lot of fun.
Knife: Yeah, I guess it-
Knife paused.
Jimmy: Huh? What is-
And suddenly, Jimmy saw when he looked up. Far offscreen, he could see Xyrzax and his army. They were closer than they thought. It'd still take them a month because they didn't know their way around like Knife and Jimmy, but they were much closer than they thought. This could be total war. This could be the fight of their life.
Knife: Let's go home.
Jimmy: Agreed.
And with that, Knife Magic Mirrored home, and Jimmy drank a potion.
---With Xyrzax---
Xyrzax: We have a month left, my subjects! Before we finally finish our march to the sea (General William Sherman, look him up. You'll understand the jokes Total War and March to the Sea). This is it, my brethren! We can hold Dias, Mario, Celestia and Jalen for what they're responsible for! This is it, my brethren!
Army: Yeah!
---With Tyguis and SK---
Tyguis: Hey... since that Vesk kid could come in here, do you think he could save us?
SK: Yes, Tyguis child. He can save us.
Tyguis: Good, wanted to know.
SK: Bet you did, bet you did...
Knife: Indeed. But where do we hide the... the thing that... the doll?
Jimmy: Let's just get out of here.
Knife: Indeed.
---Some time later---

SK: Yes, Tyguis child. He can save us.
Tyguis: Good, wanted to know.
SK: Bet you did, bet you did...
Knife: Hey, guys. The problem is... Xyrzax and his army are approaching us.
Jimmy: Indeed, they're close enough that you can see them offscreen.
Knife: Sorry, fourth wall...
Jimmy: What?
Knife: Nada.
Xylea: Knife, what do you think of my hair?
Knife: It's... pink?
Xylea grunted.
Kayla: Well, it's a good thing our "fourth" member is here!
Zen: Hello everybody!
Tori & Xylea: It's... a girl?!
Zen: Yeah... ooh!
Knife & Jimmy: Huh?
Zen: You...
Knife: Me?
Zen: You're going to be my husband!
Knife, Tori, & Xylea: WHAAAAAT?!
Jimmy: Eh. Hey, you, reader: What did you expect at this point? To be honest, I've only got one love... and that's fishing!
Jimmy was telling the absolute truth. He'd no interests in women or men.
Zen: That's... *glare* not a problem with you girls, is it?
Tori: Knife is too young to marry!
Xylea: And said an archer could take him anyway?!
Knife: Huh? I thought the task at hand was the-
Xylea & Tori: Shut up!
Knife did as he told, and eventually left. Funny enough, there's still 1 or 2 more girls to introduce, hehe.
Knife: God. This. Is. Exhausting. Now, Jimmy, ready to go?
Jimmy: Where?
Knife: Stock up on materials for the upcoming fight.
Jimmy: Sure. Anybody going?
Tori: I have time!
Xylea: Me too!
Zen: I can go!
Uskor: Knife, I'll come-
Xylea, Tori, & Zen: No!
Knife: No, I need to ask Uskor something. What about you two?
Belle: I'm staying here.
Zenfir: I need to go to the corruption to... attend to things.
Uskor: All right then. As for the rest of us, we need to get underground.
And that's exactly what they did. They'd reached the underground in no time.
Uskor: So. We need to split into groups of... three.
Knife: So, what are the groups?
Uskor: Knife & Zen, Uskor & Xylea, Tori & Jimmy. Sound good to all?
Knife: Yeah, I guess.
Jimmy: Sure.
Zen: I don't care! As long as I'm with my future husband.
Knife didn't even blush, or care. He never seemed to, not about anything in the world. Or other humans, at least. Er... other terrarians, at least.
Xylea & Tori: No!
Uskor: Deal with it *puts on sunglasses*, that's the way it is.
And so the group went exploring, Knife slightly increased his bond with Zen, and everything had been good. They'd made some stuff for the two who recently joined, and everything was looking good for them. They'd made plenty of progress in that one trip, and hadn't realized how much time was spent underground. An entire week had passed. They hadn't thought much of it, however, since Xyrzax's Army wouldn't be approaching for another two weeks. Eventually, they had to go back to the surface, ready to give some good news. They'd delivered the news.
Uskor: Yup, it was successful!
Zen: Indeed!
Zen looked at Knife.
Voice: Glad to get here early, huh?
The group looked up the hill.
Xyrzax: But I don't think you expected me this early.
Jimmy: Indeed, they're close enough that you can see them offscreen.
Knife: Sorry, fourth wall...
Jimmy: What?
Knife: Nada.
Xylea: Knife, what do you think of my hair?
Knife: It's... pink?
Xylea grunted.

Zen looked at Knife.
Voice: Glad to get here early, huh?
The group looked up the hill.
Xyrzax: But I don't think you expected me this early.
Xyrzax: What, is there something on my face?
The group only looked in horror.
Xyrzax: Oh! You must be wondering how I got here, no? It's a simple story: We took the Minecart built in the First Great War. Also, to mention it: My army is different than your average Goblin Army. Ever since we won the First Great War, we've been training more and more. There's basically no stopping us, or do you think you can do it? I'm intrigued to find out your confidence.
Garrett: W...w...what? You... You're-
Xyrzax: Not supposed to be here, huh? Well I'll tell you again: We took our Ford and wrecked the system. I'm-
Garrett: The Successor of the first great war... But...
Xyrzax: I like talking and all, but this time... I'm going to skip the invitational chats and destroy you now. Army?
Army: Yes, Lord Xyrzax?
Xyrzax: Attack.
Knife: They're coming! Defense Mechanism 1!
Suddenly, all of the fighters assembled into a Horseshoe shape, and charged at the army.
Tori: Dammit, they're too strong!
Knife: Let's go for the attack, right?
Xyrzax: Even my army of a mere 200 is too much for you losers, unless... it isn't. Please tell me, how does it feel to lose twice.
Knife: What... what do you mean?
Xyrzax: Don't play games with me, Knife.
Knife: How... do you know my name?
Xyrzax: Oh, it hasn't happened yet, has it?
Knife: What?
Xyrzax: Nothing. I guess I'll save that one for later, huh?
Knife: I guess so, then.
Xyrzax: My my, your group seems to be holding up well against my army! Bravo! A grand total of 0 soldiers defeated! I must congratulate all of you! You're all doing so well! I guess I'd better leave it to-
Knife: One.
Xyrzax: Two?
Knife: No. One.
Xyrzax: One? One what?
Knife: One soldier down.
As Knife showed Xyrzax the dead Peon's body, Xyrzax grew slightly more fearful. The first soldier dead meant that the rest could also be dead. Knife wasn't as kiddy as Xyrzax thought he was. It was then when Xyrzax realized he's going to go all out to win this war.
Xyrzax: Well done, Knife. Let's see about the rest of the 199.
Knife: Nothing we can do until we find out, huh?
Xyrzax: I guess so.
The group only looked in horror.
Xyrzax: Oh! You must be wondering how I got here, no? It's a simple story: We took the Minecart built in the First Great War. Also, to mention it: My army is different than your average Goblin Army. Ever since we won the First Great War, we've been training more and more. There's basically no stopping us, or do you think you can do it? I'm intrigued to find out your confidence.

Xyrzax: Well done, Knife. Let's see about the rest of the 199.
Knife: Nothing we can do until we find out, huh?
Xyrzax: I guess so.
Xyrzax: My my, this battle's been going on for a while, huh?
Knife: Meh, it's not been a while. Your army is... quite the army!
Xyrzax: I know that, I've trained them for a very long time. You should know this, Knife.
Knife: What do you mean I should know this? What are you hinting at?
Xyrzax: I guess you may or may not find out in due time. Who knows? Maybe I do, maybe I don't.
Knife: Why are you doing this? What are you planning?
Xyrzax: Like I said, I'm sure you'll find out in enough time. I bet you will... and even if you don't, you'll find out on your own. So tell me, Knife, how long has it been?
Knife: I've never seen you before!
Xyrzax: But you've seen me after, no?
Knife: But what?
Xyrzax: Nothing, Knife. I think you'll find out in enough time.
Tori: Two.
Xyrzax: Two down?
Tori: Yes. We've defeated yet another member of your little army. We're getting closer and closer!
Xyrzax: 200/2 is 100. 1/100 is 1%. You're only 1% through my army. I think I've spoken enough, why don't you look at your dear friends here. They seem to be having a bit of trouble, no?
Knife looked at Belle and Zenfir.
Zenfir: Dammit! Guys, we're being overrun!
Belle: We've... had a good run guys!
The team came to help them, and helped the two out.
Zenfir: Thanks you guys... I appreciate it.
Belle: Yeah...thanks... whatever...
Knife: We have bigger problems to deal with. Like this Xyrzax freak. Xyrzax is clearly planning something... but what? We should find out.
Belle: I have a plan, but you guys are going to have to go along with it, deal?
Knife: Deal. I guess.
Tori: Deal.
Jimmy: Deal.
Xylea: Deal.
Zen: Deal.
Zenfir: Deal...
Uskor: I think... fine... deal...
Belle told them all the plan. Xyrzax allowed them to plan this, because he was overconfident, and had the right to be. This was the second great war, not the first. He knows what he is doing. The group does not, however. He was confident in his Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C.
Uskor: THAT'S CRAZY. Why would that be the plan?
Zenfir: As much as I hate it, it's our only hope.
Uskor: Point taken. Leader, is the plan good?
Knife: It sounds like a plan, but we're all the leader here.
Uskor: I know, just talking to all of you guys.
Knife: Shall we initiate the plan?
Skeletron: Couldn't hurt.
Knife: Meh, it's not been a while. Your army is... quite the army!
Xyrzax: I know that, I've trained them for a very long time. You should know this, Knife.
Knife: What do you mean I should know this? What are you hinting at?
Xyrzax: I guess you may or may not find out in due time. Who knows? Maybe I do, maybe I don't.
Knife: Why are you doing this? What are you planning?
Xyrzax: Like I said, I'm sure you'll find out in enough time. I bet you will... and even if you don't, you'll find out on your own. So tell me, Knife, how long has it been?
Knife: I've never seen you before!
Xyrzax: But you've seen me after, no?
Knife: But what?
Xyrzax: Nothing, Knife. I think you'll find out in enough time.

Uskor: I know, just talking to all of you guys.
Knife: Shall we initiate the plan?
Skeletron: Couldn't hurt.
Knife: Well, shall we initiate the plan?
Skeletron: Yeah, let's do this!
Zenfir summoned up chunks of Demonite from the ground, and shaped them into knives. Then, Belle spit out poisonous spit at the knives, covering them in poison. Skeletron then summoned bones and forced them to orbit each knife. Then, Zenfir Shot the knives at the army. The group had managed to wipe out a manageable 6 more.
Xyrzax: Ha! 8 people in my army are dead! 96% percent remain! Also, those who have died, we will never forget the service you've done for our cause. Akhmen, my people.
Army: Akhmen!
Knife: Wow, you think that'll stop us? We've been knocking you guys left and right! There's nothing you guys can do anymore! Turn back home!
Xyrzax: I guess my army shall stop fighting now.
Zen: You did it, husbie?
Xylea: You're not marrying him!
Tori: Seriously!
Xyrzax: Knife's words have inspired me... to fight you all myself.
Xylea: Nice job, Knife.
Zen: Yeah.
Knife: Hey!
Tori: It was a mistake, you two! Calm down!
Xyrzax: Oh don't worry, children, this isn't really because of his "inspiring" words. This was all a part of my plan. Now, are you ready?
Uskor: Bring. It. On.
And so, the band of misfits had fought Xyrzax for 2 straight hours, until the tide was suddenly turned.
Xyrzax: Binding Spell!
And suddenly, after those words were casted, Uskor, Zenfir, Tori, Xylea, Zen, and Belle were all captured. They'd been imprisoned inside of Xyrzax's spell.
Xyrzax: What the hell are you kids going to do now?
Skeletron: Kids... it's time we initiated Plan E.R.N.
Knife: Do we... do we have to?
Jimmy: Do we?
Skeletron: It must be done. Bone Wall!
And suddenly, a wall between Xyrzax and the three was created. It would take Xyrzax at least 3 hours to break down this wall.
Skeletron: I'm going to have to return to my dungeon now.
Jimmy & Knife: Understood, and we'll run like planned.
Skeletron: Good. I'll see you kids later, I guess?
Jimmy & Knife: I guess.
Skeletron: Don't forget, I'll stay on your side. Right now, however, I must stay at my Dungeon to protect it.
Jimmy & Knife: See ya.
As they ran while Skeletron casted his Recall spell, it suddenly hit Knife and Jimmy. Not only did they lose, but... they lost the Second Great War. Xyrzax had won both the first and the second.
Skeletron: Yeah, let's do this!
Zenfir summoned up chunks of Demonite from the ground, and shaped them into knives. Then, Belle spit out poisonous spit at the knives, covering them in poison. Skeletron then summoned bones and forced them to orbit each knife. Then, Zenfir Shot the knives at the army. The group had managed to wipe out a manageable 6 more.

And suddenly, a wall between Xyrzax and the three was created. It would take Xyrzax at least 3 hours to break down this wall.
Skeletron: I'm going to have to return to my dungeon now.

As they ran while Skeletron casted his Recall spell, it suddenly hit Knife and Jimmy. Not only did they lose, but... they lost the Second Great War. Xyrzax had won both the first and the second.
Knife: Dammit Jimmy, where do we hide?
Jimmy: Don't know. You've been underground long enough, haven't you?
Knife: Yeah, but... wait! I got it! Tyguis' old base, before he was trapped.
Jimmy: Great idea, let's go for it.
Knife: Hey Jimmy.
Jimmy: Yeah?
Knife: What are your goals? Why do you do this?
Jimmy: I'm the extra piece that's just strung along when you go on a journey. If you're wondering what my goals are... it's simple. To take over the world. Hehe, just kidding. That's not my goal. My real goal is to become a Master Fisher, and to become a great adventurer. This is my goal. Recognition isn't even necessary, I just want to become a "Master Adventurer". This is it, if I die here, I won't ever feel like I've completed this dream of mine. I have to win here, or else I'll have never defeated any of the monsters I wanted to. When you came along, I decided that would be the perfect opportunity for me to complete this goal. I would have never been able to do these things with just me and Tori. You were the perfect opportunity. Thanks, Knife. Are we almost there?
Knife: Yes. In fact, we're here.
Jimmy: What should we do at this point?
Knife: Do we hide, or stock up on supplies?
Jimmy: Let's stock up on supplies.
Knife: Deal, let's do it.
Jimmy: Alright, where would the supplies generally be?
Knife: I may or may not have a guess to where all of the supplies are.
Jimmy: Alright. Where to?
Knife: Under Tyguis' throne. It's where he had me put his supplies. If we get lucky, we could even find a secret compartment. Who knows, huh?
Jimmy: Eh, that stuff is just in the shows.
Knife: Alright then, let's just go and check it out ourselves, huh?
Jimmy: Sure. Why not?
Knife: Alright, we're here. I see a few supplies, but no secret compartment. Screw that, I found one.
Jimmy: So, should we see if there's anything down here?
Knife: Alright.
Jimmy: What the hell is that?
Knife: I... never learned of this project... what was Tyguis planning?
Jimmy: Don't know. You've been underground long enough, haven't you?
Knife: Yeah, but... wait! I got it! Tyguis' old base, before he was trapped.
Jimmy: Great idea, let's go for it.

Jimmy: So, should we see if there's anything down here?
Knife: Alright.
Jimmy: What the hell is that?
Knife: I... never learned of this project... what was Tyguis planning?
Knife: Woah... this is on a much bigger scale than I thought.
Jimmy: This would change everything.
Knife: Is it unreversable?
Jimmy: I think so. We can't call Tyguis evil for doing this but we can call him evil.
Knife: After all, we also tried to do this.
Jimmy: But Tyguis' version is so... so... different.
Knife: Indeed it is. We should look for more things.
Jimmy: Alright then, where should we start looking?
Knife: Don't know. Where should we start looking?
Jimmy: Hm... what if we started looking for more secret compartments?
Knife: Sounds good to me. Now, where would there be a secret compartment?
Jimmy: Don't know, but check this out.
Knife: What is this?
Jimmy: It seems to be Tyguis also planned on you joining his army.
Knife: Why, exactly?
Jimmy: Because of this.
Knife: It's... a special knife. After my name. It looks so freaking cool.
Jimmy: Yeah, but how do we... wait... I've seen this before! It's a Falcon Blade! You go fishing for it!
Knife: Oh, really?
Jimmy: Yeah, we should go right now.
Knife: No. We shouldn't go to the surface yet. After all, it's been a while since Skeletron's wall broke down. Instead, we should make a thorough escape plan for each of our allies.
Jimmy: Indeed, I guess.
Knife: So, how are we going to do this?
Jimmy: Don't know... let's see...
Knife: We could use a few new upgrades, anyway. This Shadow Armor isn't particularly useful in this situation. But where are we going to get new armor?
Jimmy: Look at the plan again.
Knife: Oh... we're going to hell...
Jimmy: Not defeating the wall of flesh, like Tyguis' plan. We're getting ourselves some Molten Armor.
Knife: Then returning to hiding.
Jimmy: But first making a base in hell.
Jimmy: This would change everything.
Knife: Is it unreversable?
Jimmy: I think so. We can't call Tyguis evil for doing this but we can call him evil.
Knife: After all, we also tried to do this.

Knife: Oh... we're going to hell...
Jimmy: Not defeating the wall of flesh, like Tyguis' plan. We're getting ourselves some Molten Armor.
Knife: Then returning to hiding.
Jimmy: But first making a base in hell.
Our two heroes have ventured to Hell, and made a base there. They were staking out for Molten Armor.
Jimmy: Well, what do we have here?
Knife: Hellstone, of course!
Jimmy: Let's get some of this, then?
Knife: Yeah, I got the pickaxe ready.
And so they spent the rest of the day mining Hellstone and Obsidian. Now, we must fast forward 1 week later.
Jimmy: Alright, let's go.
Knife: Where to now?
Jimmy: Don't know yet.
Knife: We should check on the situation up top. We need to scope out Xyrzax's little area.
Jimmy: Alright then, let's go. We got this, Knife.
Knife: I know this...
And so they ventured to the surface, and scoped out Xyrzax's small area hut. The problem with the previous sentences is that Xyrzax no longer had a small area. Knife and Jimmy were surprised to find out what Xyrzax had done with the place. They didn't know that Goblins were capable of doing what they'd done.
Jimmy: What the hell...
Knife: I didn't expect their skills to be this good!
They'd built an entire castle. No, an entire empire. Xyrzax had risen through the ranks, and became Lord of the Goblins. He was no longer this petty general with amazing skills.
Jimmy: Even I'm stunned to how we're going to get into there.
Knife: I have an idea, but we'll need to go to the Jungle for it.
Jimmy: The Jungle?
Knife: Hells yeah, the Jungle.
Jimmy: What's your plan, exactly?
Knife: Simple; We're going to harness Jungle Spores and Glowing Mushrooms, together
Jimmy: I'm not much of a Scientist, but even I know how dangerous that is!
Knife: Yeah, I'm aware. We'll have to go with it.
Jimmy: Legend has it that there's only two ways to synthesize them, and that neither one has even been discovered!
Knife: So?
Jimmy: It could explode, creating a massive explosion!
Knife: Oh. You don't think I'm counting on that...
Jimmy: Well, what do we have here?
Knife: Hellstone, of course!
Jimmy: Let's get some of this, then?
Knife: Yeah, I got the pickaxe ready.
And so they spent the rest of the day mining Hellstone and Obsidian. Now, we must fast forward 1 week later.

Knife: So?
Jimmy: It could explode, creating a massive explosion!
Knife: Oh. You don't think I'm counting on that...
Knife: Whelp, here are the Jungle Spores. All we need to do now is just... get the Glowing Mushrooms.
Knife and Jimmy had spent two hours collecting lots and lots of Jungle Spores. They'd been preparing for whatever Knife had in mind.
Jimmy: What is your plan, exactly?
Knife: Hehe, you'll see...
Knife suddenly got serious.
Knife: And Xyrzax will see too...
Jimmy: Alright then, Mr. Evil. We'd better stock up on Ammo, and Materials.
Knife: Also Armor. We'll need to... visit Skeletron again.
Jimmy: Been a while, huh?
Knife: It's been a while since we defeated Tyguis, and since we've seen Vesk. I wonder how Skeletron is holding up.
Jimmy: Yeah, we should go see him. Before or After we collect the Mushrooms?
Knife: After. I already have my plan in synchronization.
Jimmy: Synchronization? Ooh, I like the sound of that. I used to be making plans, but here you are, following my footsteps.
Knife: Not really. I've had this backup plan ready ever since we saw Xyrzax while we were fishing. Took me about... 2 hours to come up with the rough idea, and 2 more to refine it for mistakes.
Jimmy: Found some mushrooms!
Knife: Let's collect 'em then!
Knife and Jimmy had spent the rest of the day collecting Mushrooms, and spent the night at Tyguis' old base. The one before he was defeated.
Knife: Do you think we'll ever get the rest of them back?
Jimmy: Don't know. It's certainly possible, but there's never a guarantee.
Knife: What do we do if we can never get them back?
Jimmy: Deal with it, I guess.
Knife: Fair enough... good night!
Jimmy: Good night.
And they slept the night.
Knife: Ready to go to the Dungeon?
Jimmy: Yeah, but you had a plan in the middle of the trip, right?
Knife: Indeed. We'll need to stop by the castle.
The two had stopped by Xyrzax's Castle, and carefully laid out sets of Glowing Mushrooms and Jungle Spores next to each other, but not touching. Knife had rigged it to do something special. He wasn't aware of the two Synchronization ways at all. He pulled the lever, and the two touched. Nothing happened, but then... A giant explosion happened.

Xyrzax: Hello, My little prisoners!
Zenfir: You know Knife & Jimmy. They'll have a plan.
Xyrzax: Really, will they?
Zenfir: Hell yeah! They've usually got a plan.
Uskor: We can't count on them having a plan if they lose their temper, or something like that.
Xylea: Yeah, it's not good at all. Why are you doing this?
Xyrzax: Take a guess.
Zen: The classical world domination?
Xyrzax: Do you take me for a Comic Book villain?
All of them nodded their heads.
Xyrzax: Thanks for the support. I feel so-
Suddenly, a giant explosion happened. The heroes weren't freed; it came from outside.
Xyrzax: What was that?
All of the heroes except for Uskor laughed and taunted Xyrzax.
Guard: It seemed to be... have... br-
Guard: It broken down the main wall!
Xyrzax: Have the Peons fix it!
Guard: Yes sir, yes! We will have them do that right away!
Xyrzax fixed is attention on the heroes again.
Uskor: So, why are you being like this?
Xyrzax: It's simple; I want to kill Knife.
Belle: Why would you want to kill such an innocent and-
Xyrzax: Innocent? INNOCENT?! That child has murdered countless people, and you can still call him innocent?! For Goblin's sake, he murdered thousands of Skeletons at the war you all previously... "won". You all really don't realize it, do you? Not only are you all murderers who need to be put down, but, if I kill you all... I'll gain respect from the entire world. Respect is a POWERFUL WEAPON.
Belle: You're calling us the murderer, you maniac?
Xyrzax had to keep his cool.
Xyrzax: Just you all wait and see...
---With Knife and Jimmy---
Knife: WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Jimmy: What... what were you thinking?
Knife: Wait for it...
Suddenly, their "trip" in the air stopped, and Jimmy hit his head on some hard Brick, and Knife got his head stuck in the sand. Jimmy instantly realized his plan.
Jimmy: You planned on us getting here as fast as we can, and then returning fast, in time to break in while the Peons are building the wall, so we can easily sneak in and stop the Peons?
Knife: Yup!
Voice: Long time no see, eh?
Both whirled around, and were surprised at what they saw.
Zenfir: You know Knife & Jimmy. They'll have a plan.
Xyrzax: Really, will they?
Zenfir: Hell yeah! They've usually got a plan.
Uskor: We can't count on them having a plan if they lose their temper, or something like that.

Knife: Yup!
Voice: Long time no see, eh?
Both whirled around, and were surprised at what they saw.
Vesk: What, why do you all look so surprised?
Jimmy: Well... we don't normally see you. What are you planning this time?
Vesk: I'm offended you see me as a schemer... and I'll have you know, I'm planning something big.
Knife: Something big?
Vesk: Yup! It involves... Tyguis, the Real Skeleton King, me, Dark Magic, and Ancient Ritual, Xyrzax and pretty much the Dungeon itself! Well actually... scratch Xyrzax.
Knife: Huh? Wait... Tyguis?!
Vesk: I've mastered Teleportation between different realms!
Knife and Jimmy were surprised at the immense power that Vesk has achieved. The last time they saw him, he was just telling them how he wouldn't let them down as a great enemy, and here he is, mastering things that no one even knew could be mastered. Knife and Jimmy needed to get on his level, and fast.
Vesk: What?
Knife: Teleportation... wow. I'll need to get on your level...
Vesk: Get on my level? Sure, sure... I think it's me who needs to get on your level, before you unlock your full potential.
Knife: Full Potential?
Vesk: Ya know, the mode that only certain people can go in? And you're one of those people?
Knife: Oh my...
Vesk: Well, I'll be seeing you all! Have fun, have fun! I've got some things to do. Vesk, out!
Vesk had easily vanished into thin air, and so, Knife and Jimmy had explored the Dungeon. Knife had gotten himself some Necro Armor, while Jimmy was simply looking for the Cobalt Shield. They'd spent the entire day inside of the Dungeon, looking for treasures. Sooner or later, after all the treasures were found, Knife found that he and Jimmy were still looking for something, but they couldn't put their finger on it.
Jimmy: You think we're missing one of the good treasures?
Knife: Let's call out the ones that we have, as we double check the chests all over the Dungeon.
Jimmy: Okay.
They walked to the chests.
Knife: Handgun, secured!
Jimmy: Cobalt Shield, secured!
Knife: Shadow Key, secured!
Jimmy: Magic Missile, secured!
Knife: Aqua Scepter, secured!
Jimmy: Blue Moon, secured!
Knife: Muramasa, secured!
Knife: Oh my god... I know what this place is missing.
Jimmy: Dungeon Guardians?
Knife: No... Skeletron.
Jimmy: Well... we don't normally see you. What are you planning this time?
Vesk: I'm offended you see me as a schemer... and I'll have you know, I'm planning something big.
Knife: Something big?

Knife: Do you think he could be out hiding somewhere? I do hope so... please tell me he's just playing hide and seek?
Jimmy: Don't think so. Think Xyrzax has something to do with it?
Knife: No. I'd say Vesk, but... Skeletron is stronger. Right?
Jimmy: Not even I can tell at this point.
And so, the duo rushed towards Xyrzax's castle at the point when they left the Dungeon. In fear of losing Skeletron, the duo hadn't spoke to each other during the entire trip. Each had their own theory of how Skeletron was taken. Jimmy thinks it was Vesk or Xyrzax, and Knife thinks something new happened, whether it be a natural hazard, or a new enemy. Right now, a new enemy would not be good. At all.
Knife: Look, there it is. The Castle.
Jimmy: And there's the huge hole in the wall.
Knife: Well... should we be in there by now?
They both smiled at each other, in a moment of awesomeness.
Jimmy: Hells yeah.
Knife: That's my line.
The duo infiltrated the castle, and wandered its insides. They'd seen pretty much every part of the castle that wasn't guarded by the peons, or anybody else, which surprisingly, is a lot of the castle. Jimmy'd guessed that most the goblins had been fixing the wall; the one that they broke in, that is. It was quite easy, too. All they had to do was create a non-suspicious distraction, and boom! They were in. A plan anyone can come up with, really. Even an animal could come up with a plan like that.
Knife: So, where do you think the prison is?
Jimmy: If I'm to guess...
Knife: Some place underground. Goblins tend to build part of their castles underground, specifically the chambers that hold prisoners, and war-prisoners.
Jimmy: How'd you know that?
Knife: I studied goblins way before this all... happened.
---With the others---
Uskor: How long do you think it is until Knife & Jimmy get here?
Zenfir: Assuming they do get here.
Xylea: Knife'll make it fine.
Zen: More than just... fine.
Belle: Will you idiots stop arguing? It'll be some time before he and Jimmy and Skeletron get here.
Zenfir: Eh... what if Skelly didn't betray them?
Belle: You do make a good point...
Uskor: If he'd betrayed us... why wouldn't he have done it back in the war?
Belle: Fair point...
Zenfir: Yeah, I do see what Uskor is trying to get at there. I can't stop wondering, however. How long is it before Tyguis' prison holds up? It won't be forever, you know. I'm not looking forward to fighting that schemester again.
Uskor: I don't know. I wish my bro was here...
Belle looked at him with pity, and soon did the rest. Uskor had lost his brother in the war, and to make matters worse? They were on different sides, strongly believed in the cause they were fighting for. Uskor's older brother would no longer be there for him... ever. He was dead, and Uskor accepted that, but wish he didn't have to. Uskor would move on, eventually. Is this what the Corrupton meant by "Your brother? About that...". Had he been foreshadowing his death, if he really was from the future? What could all of this mean? What significance did that Corrupton have, and now that the matter had been brought to his attention, something suddenly hit him.
Knife: You guys miss me?
All of the group, except Uskor, looked at him in joy.
Uskor: Show me your arm.
Knife was surprised at his sudden request.
Knife: Okay.
Uskor's suspicions had been right.
Uskor: So I was right...
Knife: About?
Uskor: That corrupton claiming to be you... wasn't really you. In fact, he wasn't really a corrupton, either. He'd been working with the Hallow.
Knife: Do you think he could be out hiding somewhere? I do hope so... please tell me he's just playing hide and seek?
Jimmy: Don't think so. Think Xyrzax has something to do with it?
Knife: No. I'd say Vesk, but... Skeletron is stronger. Right?

Knife: About?
Uskor: That corrupton claiming to be you... wasn't really you. In fact, he wasn't really a corrupton, either. He'd been working with the Hallow.
Knife: The... Hallow?
Knife simply looked to Uskor in confusion. He was now wondering; What was the Hallow? Was it some kind of rival to the Corruption? No, he couldn't see anything like that in his world... unless it was... hidden in some sort of fashion?
Uskor: Yes, the-
But before Uskor could even get started, Zenfir chipped in.
Zenfir: The Hallow? Those bastards are simply weak; the Corruption is strong. No... they're strong... it's just... they're evil. The Corruption may look the part, but the Hallow really plays the part. I ing hate the Hallow. Those scums are never good enough, eh? Firs they wanted their own land, then they wanted the Corruption. NOTHING is good enough for them, eh? I really-
Belle had to calm him down, because he was starting to get angry again. And when Zenfir got angry, he really got angry. This was nothing out of the ordinary for him.
Zen: My Future Husband, we're so glad to see you're here!
Xylea: He's not your future husband. But we really are glad to see you're here.
Tori: Jimmy, Knife! I'm glad to see both of you. Where's Skeletron? Close behind, or did he betray you guys?
Jimmy and Knife had looked to each other, and simply looked back at the group. It seemed as of he'd betrayed them, which made Xylea angry.
Xylea: Why did he betray you? WHY?!
Jimmy: That's not it.
He looked to Knife again, hoping he would finish the statement.
Knife: He's... missing.
The rest of the group looked at each other in confusion and shock; Skeletron, missing? He was the most powerful creature they'd all seen so far, and he was missing? This wasn't good, not at all. They'd need a miracle to happen to get him back, they'd need someone very powerful. And sort of, their wish was granted.
Vesk: I assume you guys missed me?
The rest of the group looked at him in confusion; why was he here? Zen was the only one who could say it, however;
Zen: WHY are you here?
This slightly bothered Vesk.
Vesk: Listen girl, and listen closely; I came here, on my time, my energy, so don't tell me to go away. Now, guys, we have a problem on our hands; SKELETRON IS MISSING!
The others were surprised; Vesk didn't know already?
Vesk: And guys, I have more important news; I think I may know who has done it!
This seem to surprised the rest of them. How had Vesk figured this out? Then again, Vesk was one of the smartest people they'd known; so, they decided to listen to Vesk. He obviously seemed to know something.
Vesk: I think it was the Old Skeleton King. I think he placed a curse on the dungeon, which got to Skelzor.
The rest of them, except for Zenfir, Belle and Uskor laughed.
Vesk: Why are you laughing?
It didn't seem obvious to Vesk, but it did seem obvious to the other ones who knew why he was being serious.
Tori: Because, the Old Skeleton King is dead. He's been dead for a while.
Vesk and the three others seemed to disapprove of this statement. Next, it was Zenfir who spoke up.
Zenfir: No. He's been imprisoned, along with Tyguis. He's been there for a much longer time, however. He's begun to regain his strength, with the sudden changes in the magical balance.
They all suddenly heard footsteps of a guard coming up to the cell. The three outside of the cell hid, while the guard asked the prisoners who they were talking to.
Belle: Ourselves, duh!
The guard just rolled his eyes.
Knife simply looked to Uskor in confusion. He was now wondering; What was the Hallow? Was it some kind of rival to the Corruption? No, he couldn't see anything like that in his world... unless it was... hidden in some sort of fashion?

They all suddenly heard footsteps of a guard coming up to the cell. The three outside of the cell hid, while the guard asked the prisoners who they were talking to.
Belle: Ourselves, duh!
The guard just rolled his eyes.
Xyrzax: I'm going to need a queen. I think I'll need a queen, actually! And I'll also need one for my son. We both need queens! See to it that you can bring us a queen! Maybe one of the prisoners, perhaps?
The peon just facepalmed, and went anyway. It was up to him to pick a queen for an adult, and a child? God. He hated being a peon, but you know what? After this was over, he was definitely getting some kind of promotion. He wanted to be the King after Xyrzax was dead. But then he'd need to worry about Xyrzax's son, Balzos. He'd need to make sure he didn't get the throne either. He'd met Balzos before, and he knew he was just like Xyrzax, except worse. Balzos was so greedy, and he was spoiled, too. The peon wished he could have a chance at royalty. He would rule as a fair ruler. Maybe if the people voted on their next king? No... everyone would be too afraid of Xyrzax, if he didn't get his "rightful throne". When the Peon stopped thinking about it, he realized he was at the cell already. How would he put this to the prisoners? Oh well, the peon thought.
Peon: Uh... how do I put this?
The Peon looked more nervous than Xyrzax when he was crowned.
Belle: Put what, dear?
Belle and the others seemed concerned for the Peon.
Peon: Uh... Xyrzax wanted a queen for him and his son. This is a picture of his son.
He shocked the group, and the photo of the goblin was seriously strange. He was sort of handsome, but, even in the photo, he looked stuck up.
Peon: And... he wants the Queen Bee as his queen, and the Angler Girl as his son's princess.
That shocked everyone even more so.
Belle: HEY, I'm not going to marry that tyrant!
Tori: And I'm not going to marry that tyrant's tyrant!
The Peon looked even more so nervous, because if he didn't convince them, then he would be dead meat. Literally. Xyrzax would skin him, then serve the rest of his meat to the Zombies outside.
Peon: Please, please, please.
The peon got down on his knees.
Peon: I, Tak, of the Goblins need this favor! The king is going to skin me, and feed me to the zombies if I don't! Just ask any guard in here, it's true!
Out of nowhere, a guard confirmed what Tak was saying.
Guard: Yeah, he's ruthless!
Tak: Please, will you?
Tak begged them, but their answer remained the same.
Tak: Then there's only one thing I can do now.
Tak said in a dark, chilling voice. This scared the rest of the group, even Vesk, Knife and Jimmy who were hiding, listening. They were ready to fight Tak if they needed to.
Tak: RUN AWAY!
Tak instantly started to run away, while the other guards chased him. In doing so, one of the guards dropped his keys, while the group escaped the prison. They had Tak to thank because of their escape.
Tak: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Tak was in the throne room, where Xyrzax instantly saw him, and ordered the guards to kill him. He could already tell that he had failed, judging by the guards chasing him. Eventually, they got back to the old cell where the prisoners used to be. As the guards caught up to Tak, he'd been cornered, until the group saved Tak.
Zenfir: We saved you.
Tak rolled his eyes.
Tak: NO, really?!
Tak had to say that, because of the stupid comment that Zenfir had made.
Uskor: But, the only reason we could save you is because you saved us.
Tak was confused at this.
Uskor: When you were running, it caused one of the guards to drop their keys, which we used to escape the cell. And now that you helped us and we helped you, would you like to join the journey with us? We're going to the dungeon.
Tak: I have some business to finish up in this castle first. I'll see you all at the dungeon.
The group was surprised.
Belle: You're going to kill the Goblin Lord?
Tak sighed, realizing she'd underestimated him.
Tak: YES.
Belle: But... that's betrayal!
The group all nodded, knowing it wasn't smart to betray Xyrzax.
Tak: I got this all under control here, I'm going to kill Xyrzax, and his son, if I can. You guys go have fun at the dungeon, or whatever.
And so, the group said their goodbyes to Tak, who had plans for Xyrzax. He would meet up with them at the dungeon, but for now, he had to deal with Xyrzax. He knew this wouldn't be an easy task at all, but it was definitely worth something. He would not fail, or at least, he would not stop trying. He would kill Xyrzax, no matter what it took. But he would not end up just as evil as Xyrzax. Tak, surprisingly, had a pure heart.
The peon just facepalmed, and went anyway. It was up to him to pick a queen for an adult, and a child? God. He hated being a peon, but you know what?
