Reika: A fic inside of a fic within another fic? Who does that?
Giblet: *clucks*
Reika: :3
In the not-too-distant future --
Next Sunday, A.D. --
There were some guys and gals,
Not too different from you or me.
They’d hang out at the mini-shrine motel,
Friends who knew each other really well;
Little did they know of the impending doom,
When Techno got too playful
And he locked them in a room.
Reika: For the most intense game of Spin the Bottle ever.
Giblet: *clucks*
Reika: You're right. Considering the composition, it'd probably be closer to Russian Roulette. =<
“I'll send them Roas’ fanfic,
The one called CoE.
And they’ll have to sit and read it through,
Before I let them free.”
Now keep in mind they can't control
When the fanfic begins or ends,
But they can make sarcastic jokes
To entertain their friends.
Riffer roll-call:
Anon
Skylark
Solana
Zeroooooo!
If you're wondering how they eat and breathe
And other science facts,
Just repeat to yourself "It's just a MST,
I should really just relax
For Mystery Science Theater Children of . . ."
(Zero, Skylark, and Solana are sitting at a table in the lobby of the Mini-Shrine’s theater. Anon stands behind the snack bar in an orange and red uniform complete with paper hat.)
Zero: You know, I can’t believe Techno locked us in here.
Reika: And that's why you never mess with a guy's porn stash.
Skylark: Really, a guy who’s gone nuts on several occasions? You can’t believe he did it again?
Zero: All right. I can’t believe he did it without something forcing him into it.
Skylark: >raises an eyebrow<
Zero: All right! All right! The guy’s one grape short of a fruit salad.
Giblet: *clucks*
Reika: Well, you should've thought of that before we sat down.
Solana: At least he should tell us how long we’re going to be in here.
Anon: >lazily from behind the counter< From what I gather you guys better get comfortable.
Everyone: >Groan!<
Zero: Can’t you do something? He’s your Avatar.
Reika: I don't remember ever seeing Techno with blue skin. I have seen him walk around naked when he thinks nobody's looking though, so one-out-of-two.
Solana: Wait, how do you know how long we’d be here?
(An image of Techno appears before the group)
Techno: Maybe I should answer that.
Skylark: No, maybe you should let us out before we kick your butt from here to next Sunday AD.
Techno: Lark, settle. I’m about to tell you what this is all about. I’m sure you’re all familiar with MST3K.
>all nod<
Solana: Oh no. You wouldn’t.
Zero: Dear god. You aren’t going to subject us to fanfiction.net are you?
Reika: Shots fired!
Techno: Nothing that bad, no. I’m going to make you riff something a little closer to home. Children of Eternity. But do it well, or I won’t let you out.
(The room begins shaking. Flashing lights and sirens go off. The doors to the theater swing open, revealing another door. That door swings open to reveal a large metal door. That door lowers like a draw bridge, revealing another wooden door. This door explodes, revealing a hatch with locking wheel. The wheel spins and opens, revealing . . .)
Children of Eternity
Prologue: Apocolypse Dawning
Reika: The lesser-known prequel of Apocalypse Now.
The Desert of Despair.
Zeal had only heard about it in legends. The stronghold of Evil in the Universe. A place where even nightmares feared to tread. And it was here she and her companions found themselves.
Reika: ...I know of an Eldrtich Horror who'd use this place as a summer home. Wanna try that again?
Black sands swirled from dune to dune on a wind that no one felt. Red clouds blanketed the sky, yet there was still light. Zeal shivered, clutching the hem of her lavender and white dress.
Solana: (as Zeal) Strange weather we’re having.
None of these things compared to what towered above them.
Everyone: (as Japanese) GODZIRRA! GODZIRRA!!
The dreaded Pyramid of Darkness, home to Cruatia, the High Goddess of Evil.
A jewel in the middle of darkness, the golden pyramid was anything but dark to the naked eye. Only one sensitive to the essence of the Universe could see the fathomless darkness surrounding the structure. To stare too long would usher a chance for the black aura to swallow one whole.
Skylark: Kind of like Mel Gibson when he’s drunk.
As one who had believed herself to be a god, Zeal’s mind continually refused to believe true gods existed. Proof, however, loomed over her. Her three companions seemed equally subdued, each one at one time believing themselves akin to ultimate power.
Reika: Fonzie, Jonie, and Chachi?
Skylark: Larry, Mo, and Curly?
Solana: Manny, Mo, and Jack?
Zero: The Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch?
Everyone:>Looks at Zero<
Zero: What?
Sephiroth, black jacket trailing in the sands, seemed at ease. His eyes, though, gave away the fear welling up within.
Delita, consumed by his own inner demons, still tried to convince himself he did not really belong with them. The murder of Cid “The Thunder God” said otherwise.
Reika: Yes, cause who gives a shit about Oveilia? His wife? Who he stabbed?
Giblet: *clucks*
Reika: Considering how long the game's been out, I don't think that's a spoiler anymore.
Giblet: *clucks*
Reika: You're no fun. >_<
And then there was Melfice. Once a part of a god himself, the dark knight seemed to be the only one willing to accept what was before them. Zeal could sense the now hornless man was eager for what their mysterious host had promised.
Everyone: Oooohh.
Power to defeat their enemies. Power to match the Atrades man and his companions.
Reika: >disappointed< Awww... =<
Zeal slowly smiled, her anxiety disipating.
Skylark: Not to mention dissipating.
The former Queen looked up at their guide, the pit fiend lord Arlinax. “Why keep our host waiting?”
“Indeed. We have waited here long enough,” said Melfice cooly.
Arlinax’s canine face showed no emotion. “Very well. The Master awaits.”
Zero (as Torgo): I loOk AftEr the plAcE while the MAster is awAy.
The demon lord pushed open the golden doors before them, leading the way inside.
The halls of the Pyramid were lined with torches, shedding a dim, yellow light across their path. Dark armored knights guarded passage ways leading deeper inside. The power within the halls was enough to nearly bring Zeal to her knees. Not even Lavos’s power running through the Black Omen had been so strong.
At last they arrived at two large golden doors inlaid with hyroglyphics depicting countless people bowing to a single woman surrounded in power.
Skylark: So what do those hieroglyphics say?
Solana: It’s the story of Hillary Clinton.
“Cruatia,” Zeal could not help but whisper.
Arlinax pushed the doors open to escort the foursome within. A pair of female guards clad in white loin cloths and golden breastplates and armed with s haleberds eyed them from just inside the doorway. Hyroglyphs covered the walls of the chamber, telling stories eons upon eons old.
Solana: All right, who’s been writing on the walls again?
Skylark: And in hieroglyphs.
The center of the chamber was dominated by a large pool. Bubbling within its confines was the most foul looking water Zeal had ever seen.
Reika: Still cleaner than the toilet after one of Aryn's Atomic Burritos.
Zero: Woo. Hot tub!
Solana: Down, Zero
“The transmutation pool,” said a deep, raspy voice.
All heads looked past the pool to see their host seated in a golden throne whose back was a pair of open wings beneath a sun. “My mother amuses herself with it quite frequently.”
Zeal swallowed. “You refer to Cruatia.”
Skylark: No, Betty White.
The man chuckled while rising. He gestured to a sarcofigus engraved in the image of a beautiful woman standing next to the throne. “Very good, Zeal. Your knowledge extends farther than I had believed.”
Solana: (as Zeal) Did he just call me dumb?
Skylark: Well you can’t spell sarcophagus.
His all red eyes scanned them as he rounded the pool. “You must forgive her for not greeting you personally. Recent activities have forced her to sleep and regain her strength.”
Zero: Went on a little bender with mommy did you?
Skylark: Why do you think his eyes are so red?
“You have brought us to this hell for what?” asked Sephiroth. “To talk? Where is this power you promised us?”
Skylark: I have 500 batteries out back. They’re yours for $15 a piece.
“Indeed,” added Melfice. “Either come forward with it, or stop wasting our time.”
Reika: Ohhhhh, my...
Giblet: *clucks*
Reika: I'm not apologizing. >.>
Giblet: >v<
Zeal shivered at his smile. Her foolish companions had no idea what they were dealing with. Only she was first beginning to realize herself. “Be quiet, you fools. We walk a thin line between life and death, here.”
“You would be wise to listen to her, gentlemen.” The man, hands clasped behind his back, moved directly between them and the pool. His long, black hair swayed in a windless breeze. “Knowing one’s place in the food chain is essential to survival.”
Sephiroth huffed, flipping his chin up. “I was a god, once. I know where I stand on your food chain.”
Solana: At the bottom?
Skylark: (as Sephiroth) Right.
“You were nothing but a mutation that could have been spawned from this pool,” the man replied. “A single sword and the pure life essence of a planet were enough to defeat your schemes.”
Reika: It's a step ahead of Joffery, so at least there's that going for you.
Sephiroth was a blur as he drew his katana and charged. It was then that Zeal noticed their host’s left arm. She had assumed its pigmintation was simply an onyx black, but as Sephiroth charged it began to ripple. Half a dozen black tendrils suddenly lashed out to bind Sephiroth in mid strike.
Zero: So he’s a Tentacle monster? Didn’t know it was that kind of fic.
Solana: Zero!
Their host gestured slightly, causing the tendrils to drive Sephiroth into the ground. Zeal watched as her companion’s face began to go through different shades of blue.
Everyone: >whistles the Smurfs theme song<
“Understand your place, Sephiroth, and I promise you the world.” The white haired man nodded vigorously, and the tendrils retracted. “Good. Does anyone else desire to test their limits? If you wish, I could actually use something other than a tool to demonstrate my power.”
Zero: OH MY GOD! IT IS ONE OF THOSE FICS.
Solana: >hits Zero leaving a large bump on his head< Let’s have none of that.
He moved to stand over Delita. “You are unusually quiet, Delita. You are not one to follow so easily. Do you not have anything to say to me?”
Delita met his red eyes unflinchingly. “Power is supreme. I know when it is time to follow, rather than rule.”
Reika: As opposed to when it's time to spit, rather than swallow?
Giblet: *clucks frantically*
Reika: :3
The man moved back to stand before all of them. Sephiroth had regained his footing to stand beside Melfice. “Vengeance fuels you all, as it does me in many ways. Twenty years ago, the Legendary Warriors thwarted my attempt to rule this Universe. Having been newly awakened to his Galadinean heritage, Roas Atrades sealed me away in Oblivion, believing me defeated.”
Skylark: You were sealed away in Oblivion. That’s pretty much a defeat any way you slice it.
“I have returned.” He raised his right fist, clenching it tightly. “I shall shatter this Universe and not only bring about the fullfillment of my destiny, but take revenge upon my enemies.”
Solana: But first, a nap.
He opened his fist to point at them. “Those who follow me will
Skylark: get a BRAND NEW CAR!
Solana and Zero: Oooohhhhh! Aaaaahhhhh!
be spared and stand by my side to rule the New Universe I will create. I see a great potential in the four of you. I offer you unlimited power to serve me and obliterate our mutual enemies.”
“All you must do is submit.”
Zero: Submit what?
Skylark: A driver’s license, paycheck stub, and a cash down payment.
One by one, the four dropped to one knee. Zeal was the first to speak. “We pledge our allegience to you, Harbinger of Apocolypse, and accept the gifts you offer.”
“Our enemies will fall before your might,” added Melfice.
“None shall be spared,” said Sephiroth.
Zero: (as Sephiroth) Asshole.
Skylark: (as the Harbinger) What?
Zero: (as Sephiroth) Nothing.
“Your power will stand above all others,” finished Delita.
The Harbinger nodded and a goblet appeared in front of each of them. “Now drink and open yourselves to my blessings.”
There was momentary hestitation by all, but soon each of them drank the saltly liquid to the last drop.
Zero: Eew I told you it was that kind of fic!
Solana: Zero! >hits him on the head again<
Skylark: Maybe it was just Darkspawn blood.
Reika: Lark, baby, Darkspawn blood doesn't have that extra-salty flavor to- Ow!
Giblet: >pecks Reika, giving a few more for good measure<
Reika: Alright, alright! I get your point. Stuffy. =<
For several tense seconds, Zeal stood motionless. Then the pain struck, racing through her body like lightning. It seared her veins, boiled her blood, and threatened to destroy her very being. It did not take long for her to realize she was screaming from the pain, as were her companions. Beyond the tormented wails, she could hear the Harbinger speaking.
Solana: (as the Harbinger) Ha ha! Gotcha! I can’t believe you all actually drank that.
Reika: Paging Dr. Carter. Dr. Carter to the ER. >.>
“Drink of myself and be changed by the power that flows into you.”
Zero: Eew! I was ri-!
Solana: >hits Zero leaving another bump<
Skylark: Zero’s going to be dead by the time we finish this.
Reika: I call dibs on his DS.
Black energy suddenly surrounded each, lifting the four shrieking souls off the ground. Zeal could feel herself changing into something far beyond her comprehension.
“Know now that you are my Four Horsemen, servents of the Harbinger of Apocolypse...”
“Rasha.”
Skylark: Took him long enough to introduce himself.
Zero: My head hurts.
Solana: Be careful what you say and your head won’t hurt as much.
Skylark: Let’s get out of here.
Reika: Well, what did you think?
Giblet: *clucks questioningly*
Reika: That would make you never want to read again. Considering this fic though, that would be a improvement. D'ohohohohoho! *Giblet cluck-laughs with her*
