David, in demon form, towers over the mutants, his shirt off, only his pants and
cape on. His horns are out and his eyes are non-pupil ones. Toomai has acquired shorts,
his blanket gone, his upper body bare. Kate tells the two boys to hide. The mutants
tell "moonfella" that he can go now. He turns them to skeletons and booms
the town. Kate, Toomai, and Jeff are alive in some kind of force bubble. The demon
form tells "stripling" Jeff that there is no longer a David. He must bring
cosmic power to bear and obliterate Azeroth. Amazon: native boys: all wear loin cloths
and carry either spears of sticks. One has a crisscross over his cheeks and forehead
while a rope neck band is on. Another has a headband with a jewel on it and arrows
on his belt. Another has arrows on his belt which also has spiked bones all around
it--teeth from some animal. The jeweled headband one is Atro and tells Mogie something
is wrong. Mogie, the one with the spiked teeth belt steps in something squishy and
gets stuck. Atro calls Ebber to give them a hand. The crisscross finds the missing
scouts--boys stuck in goo to trees, their bellies bare and out, their mouths covered.
One boy is almost completely goo-covered. Their eyes follow them and they seem to
be alive but stuck in the same stuff that has trapped Mogie. One feels they can't
just leave them. Hearing the others scream they run back, blow guns ready. A wolf
rat creature picks up Mogie. The boys fire blow darts but the wolf-rat puts the boy
in his claws infront of the darts. The darts hit him, one between his nipples and
the other to the right of his navel. The boy spits out and goes stiff. The rat-wolf
monster shoves the blow dart gun up Atro's mouth and picks him up, then craks it
over another. Homer and Hotachi hear this. They are near the forbidden city. The
old man tells them without him the kid guards have little chance against magic and
he tells Homer he fear his old legs will not get him to the battle fast enough. Relating,
Homer tells the old man he is no spring chicken either. Hotachi gives Homer his pack
and runs. There are only three kids left. The rat-wolf is pulling the tongue out
of another. A sword goes out the wolf's front chest from his back--Hotachi who attacks
it. It tosses the stick boy still having it in his mouth--at Hotachi. Hotachi cuts
its arms off. Two boys are crying, one holding himself. The other puts his arms on
Hotachi's shoulder, "You saved us warrior." The other is also touching
Hotachi's other shoulder, the boy has the crisscross on his face, "We are your
slaves forever, master." Homer and the old man, "pops" as Homer calls
him, arrive. Azeroth knows the boys have found themselves a champion. He and Heartmoon
are near the goo stuck boys. He plans to take over the temple, crushing Moonstar
and these fools. The temple and the world will be his. Heartmoon grabs a boy's leg
up from his goo covered crotch, the boy's belly bare, "As we've always known...now
come and help me pick dinner." |
