Greenwich Village, Manhattan: Mistress knows Borgamul is evil and
that his greatest weapon against her is his lure, but she goes into a house where
the elf demon is sitting in a five pointed star. He tells her the witches have gone
and the talisman, too. They have been drawn to an empty husk that once held what
summoned them. Had the talisman been here, the elf demon tells her he would have
been feasting on her heart now. Only one may possess or be possessed. She had hoped
it might do some good. He tells her that they are all evil. She tells him she is
not. She will fight this. The NY Thruway, near New Paltz (nice place): Chispa tells
Heather this road has been the sight of UFO sightings, "Highway 87," Heather
says, "...where the Mothman prowls!" Alex asks if they are going to see
the big man from their dreams. Heather giggles, "Oh, Alex, Chispa and I have
been looking for the man of our dreams for a long time!" Chispa asks freckle
faced blond Sandy if this is the best. Sandy tells her this beats any role playing
game they got, "Thanks!!" There are four kids in the back seat. Alex keeps
seeing weird junk on the road like funny shadows. Chinatown, NY: Tsin is told by
a woman that the patient should see a doctor. The little monk thanks Tsin for taking
him in...he had no place else to go. His master gave the monk his name--he said that
Tsin once visited the temple in Taipei. Tsin is honored that Chen Xiao Long came
to him. The woman, Tsin's wife, tells her husband the streets have shadows dancing...the
streets look too quiet. The shadows have come to claim the warrior...he should have
died in the Central Park Reservoir. A small Oriental boy asks Chen what they should
do. Chen tells him to hope and pray. The boy tells him he is not a Buddist but Chen
tells him he believes. The warrior dreams of falling and that he must save Chen.
Mountains outside New Paltz: the car stops. Alex asks if it would be okay for him
to stay inside the car. Heather gets out, feeling the mystic forces swirling around.
Two cats seem to be watching. Heather has the talisman. Chispa feels like they have
been preparing for this their whole lives: Heather has her secretary job and a big,
dorkey boyfriend; Chispa teaches dance and watches soap operas. Heather and her big
dorkey boyfriend Bill came here once. NYC: Bill is in a drunken stupor, calling Heather;
the Mistress feels the impending, "By the dark gates," and the elf feels
they are going to do it tonight. The warrior wakes up and pulls the sheets off his
bed. Chen welcomes him back, "Welcome back, Han Fei Hoan!" He was in a
dark place. He saw something really bad is going to happen north of the city. Wolves
howl over the forest. An old hunter and his dog Grover are out. The old man is alerted
to something by Grover. He says, "If it's them damn drugged up ex-hippies from
Woodstock, I swear I'll shoot the lot of em!" The gang found a rock that Bill
said is the door to the Mountain King's Hall. Chispa makes the kids form a circle,
the kids in their skintight dance outfits. With her boom box and skintight outfit
which has a spider web design centered around her navel, Chispa is ready to dance.
The talisman helps Heather focus. The cats watch the hunter and Grover. Heather can
really feel the workings of the otherworlds, as if she is at sea in some lost ship
on a never ending journey though the night. The talisman glows and makes a five pointed
star. The hunter sees this and thinks it is a coven of witches who have kids with
them for sacrifices. Heather rambles, "The swirling eddies of dark waters between
the worlds are torn asunder! I-I can actually feel something. A force more powerful
than anything we know, Chispa! It's grabbed onto my soul! It's pulling itself here,
to our world!" A giant hand breaks into the rock and pushes up. Alex runs but
the hunter stops him. He puts his arm around the kid as Borgamul's upper body crashes
through the rock from the pits of darkness, though it tore at his body to come through.
He instructed them to call him to their world and they did as he said. "Well
done, my new slaves. I shall reward you all by letting you live to serve me!! Borgamul
is here!" Heather asks, "Chispa, what did we do? I was only playing! Weren't
we just goofing around? I didn't know...honestly!!" Stupid Chispa's hair seems
frightened upward, "Me too, Heather! What do we do now? What about our lives?
Is this all real?" The monster rises out as his legs start to come up with the
rest of his muscular body, "Be careful what you wish for. You may get exactly
what you want!! I am here, world! Borgamul has a new playground! A new realm to conquer.
New lives to rule...and how easy the domination of these pityful (pitiful) lives
will be!" |
