## summary

this story is for scourge271 and her fanon invader zim series

A long long time ago on a far away and the most deadly planet called matrixdeamanata. A world of two conflicting races; the matrixsys and the deamanatas. For hundreds of years they have been territorial of their distant lands and been in at war with each-other for centuries. Soon they have continued to expand across the planet.

metakai pov:

My name is metakai and im a young prince of the matrixsys, first in line to be the next king, my brother kokorro has always stood by me since we were kids. Though our father was strict of our safety from the conflict thats been going on out there across the planet, but I was tempted to go out there and see whats out there. Unfortunately the guards wouldn't let me out of their sights and keept me and my brother behind the castle walls. Yet in my childhood days I observed the knights in the matrixsys kingdom and learned how they live and fight.

When I turned 16 in my matrixsys years my life was about to change forever… everything seemed quiet in the kingdom till a messenger from a far away outpost came before me, my brother, father and mother and gave us a scroll. When my father opened it and looked into what lies within, he was in disbelief. but our mother then took the scroll and looked into it.

Then there was a silence and shocked look on our mothers face and tears began forming in her eyes as me and my brother picked up the scroll and looked into its contents, we were horrified, the scroll had said that our uncle prawn was missing in action when it was attacked by a monster and have killed both matrixsys and deamanatas that clashed in the outpost of densure.

(Flashback)

normal pov:

densure... it was a massive matrixsys outpost and it was on the brink of defeat by the deamanatas until one night, just when the two groups of both races were about to fight from within the outpost, something horrible happened.

The massive doors unexpectedly opened, the winds blew everywhere throughout the castle and made the torches go out. everything went dark, inside every part of the castle, there was darkness and soon both of the clashed solders became silent, but they all stood their ground as they waited for who would make the first move. But something did, though it wasn’t the deamanatas nor it was the matrixsys, it was something cold, dark and also sinister. A beast unlike any that have been seen before, a creature came out from above and entered the outpost. silence soon became fear and horror, screams became loud that it can be heard from miles away.

This creature was described as a massive humanoid, it was covered in slimy, bio-luminescent seaweed as if it were hair allover its body. With claws that can slice through steel and with the strength of a hundred humans. Its aura surrounded in black magic unlike any had seen.

As the creature entered the outpost it began to attack the two races armies and they all scattered across the entire outpost though few had survived its wrath, grieving was now present, there were once 60 deamanatas that attacked the outpost and 30 matrixsys who defended the outpost but now there are only 3 matrixsys and 5 deamanatas left alive in this massive outpost. This creature took 50 lives and was gone. Though the monster had vanished in the distance, the last survivors were in grave concern of this monstrosity and some question, where did it come from? How did come and go so quickly?, why would it attack this outpost? And more importantly, will it do so again?

As everyone cautiously crept out into the open, soon the few gathered together and began to stare in awe at the ruined halls of the outpost of densure, there were corpses of deamanata and matrixsys everywhere.

Deamanata knight: why… (swallows) what in dragons name… was that?

Matrixsys knight: I… (looks down) I don’t know?

Deamanata knight 2: how could you not know… your lands have monstrosity creatures like that in your beast data scrolls so don’t tell me you don’t know!

Matrixsys knight: I … I … captain prawn do you have any idea what… captain? … captain prawn

matrixsys knight 2: sir come over here and look at this.

The first martixsys knight arrives at the scene and notices that the captians helmet was laying on the ground. With a devistated look formed on the knight’s face as he holds the lost captians helmet with the realization.

Matrixsys knight:“The monster intrudes our outpost, took live of ours and the deamanatas of their solders and it took our captian from us!” solder prepair to send out a messenger immediately and tell those deamanatas to do the same?

Matrixsys knight 2: yes sir.

(present day)

metakai pov:

my blood began to boil with fury and anger as I continued to read this scroll, this monster had taken our uncle from us and is even now roaming our lands and possibly in the lands of the deamanatas as well. My brother told me that our father would not allow us to leave the safety of the castle without an escort. But I do remember that fact and he was right, however with father thinking that this information is all a big joke, soon not only that the great empire of the matrixsys kingdom will fall into the hands of this mysterious beast, so will the deamanatas. However if only there was a way to the survivors of the outpost densure, without getting caught leaving the castle. So we decided to ask our mother that the three of us travel to the outpost of densure to see if the information that messenger’s scroll says was true or not.

Judgeing from the look of our mother’s face, she seemed unsure if it would be safe for her children to go into densure when the war is going on. But she was fearing for uncle prawns whereabouts so she accepted our suggestion. However she said that only one of us will have to travel to densure with her, so me and my brother decided that I should go with her to densure.

Next day

my mother and I were in our hover carriage and were on our way to densure, while we were on our way we’ve notice that many of the villages were in ruins, roofs smashed and doors ripped open from the outside and there have been many dead villagers of deamanatas that are being recovered by their solders. Though we are still at war with em, deep down I felt sorrow for this race and I felt that this was the monster’s doing. My mother was surprised of seeing this awful destruction caused by this creature.

Again the next day

Soon we arrived at the outpost and see that there were many many corpses of knights both deamanata and matrixsys all recovered from the battle and the interfering rampage of the monster that attacked the outpost. My mother looked horrified and I felt the same way she does, yet we’ve thought our eyes have deceived us but no, this was real tragic event that had occurred three days ago. As we leave our carriage my mother left me with a body guard and ran to the outpost. As the doors opened, the very few survivors were still inside the outpost and we entered inside to see what has happened. It was a horrific sight to behold.

### chapter 2: a close encounter of the worst kind

metakai pov:

as we had entered the outpost, there was smell of deamanata and matrixsys blood had polluted the air inside this place. then I saw that one of the matrixsys cleaning the blood off the floor and one deamanata assists him. One of the matrixsys knights had come forth and bowed before us

matrixsys knight: your Majesty... what brought you here to the outpost, its not safe here in this tainted place.

Matrixsys queen: I came in search of my brother, i’ve read your messengers scroll and that’s why I had to come here to gather proof of the loss of prawn.

Matrixsys knight: what I thought that the evidence has been sent to you?

Matrixsys queen: evidence? I thought it was just the scroll that your messenger sent me.

Matrixsys knight: no it wasn’t just the scroll sadly, there was also your brothers helmet.

Matrixsys knight 2: are you taking about this helmet?

The matrixsys knight immediately turned to face the other knight holding which appeared to be my uncle prawns helmet. I then looked at mom and saw her form tears in her eyes, slowly but surly she began to grieving for the loss of our family member. The first matrixsys knight took the helmet from the second and handed it to my mother. She took the helmet in her very hands and brought it close to her faces as she cried with sorrow.

I looked around my surroundings and notice the few survivors starring at her as grieving.

Metakai: (whispering to the bodyguard) it would be best if everyone leave the hall of the out post temporary until mother can stop grieving.

Matrixsys bodyguard: (whispers) agreed.

After giving my mother the private time to mourn for the loss of my cherished uncle which lays heavily on her and as the third matrixsys knight gave me a room for the night until we leave tomorrow. However on this very night an army of deamanatas with their general appeared before the outpost of densure and prepared to attack while its defenses were weak.

As they barged into the outpost and attacked the matrixsys knights guarded me and my mother and attempted to escort us out to our carriage, however it was cut short as many of the deamanata’s solders captured us and brought us to the kingdom of the deamanatas, pretty Soon we were brought before the king of the deamanatas as he walked toward us.

Deamanata king: well it seems you thought that you could fool me into thinking that the outpost was attack by a monster, bah and now that we captured the outpost, the deamanatas are close to ending the war soon enough. It also seems that I have now leverage to persuade the matrixsys king to stopping the war.

Deamanata knight: but sir didn’t even read the message we sent you? There was a monster and it did attack our solders and the matrixsys knights. One of the matrixsys captian’s was a brother of the queen.

Deamanata king: oh really… well lost a loved one too… may I remind you that my wife was taken from me too, but was taken by a matrixsys, not a monster and now the only family i have left is my son and now I must protect him till he is ready to take the throne and rule my kingdom.

Deamanata knight: what do intend to do with these royal’s After the war has at last ended? don’t tell me you intend to exicute em?

Deamanata king: don’t fret about the thoughts, our leverage’s fate will be decided after the war.

Matrixsys queen: lord of the deamanatas, I speak out for mercy on us.

Deamanata king: SILENCE, you horned cretins, do you really think I would show mercy after that trecherous murder of my wife by one of your own kind?

As I listened to the conversation between my mother and the deamanata king, I’ve notice there was someone standing next to the king. this young deamanata seemed to be around the same age as me, which I assumed was the prince of the deamanatas. I notice that he was frighten of his father’s anger and argument here in the deamanata’s throne. However the conversation was cut short as the doors to the throne immediately slammed open and cold heavy winds entered the halls of the throne as a tall shadow of a tall humanoid creature, slowly walked into the massive room. It… was the monster that the messenger had described.

### chapter 3

metakai pov:
as the knights of deamanata charged at the beast, the massive creature swatted the knights aside as if they were flies. It grabbed them and tossed em into the air and crushed their bodies with its own feet as if the armor were paper. Many of the deamanatas scrambled everywhere within this thrown and it was an awful sight than I could imagine. My mother and I hid behind a damaged table, while the rest of the guards and knights ran for their life or charged at the beast mindlessly trying to fight it.

As I tried to peak out from behind the table I saw the king of the deamanatas tries to protect his son from the creature, however the beast snatched the boy from his father and soon the creature’s hand had absorbed the prince through its slimy sea weed covered hand. I was shocked of this, which I believed would be the cause of my uncle’s disappearance and what made things worse I saw the prince’s father cry out in grief.

Deamanata king: nooo… MY SON!!!

as I watch the king crying in agony, deep down I have to do something to stop this creature. But the question is how. But just as the creature began to turn away and leave, without even thinking I ran out to the middle of the throne and tossed a spear at this monstrosity. Then it stopped in its tracks and it slowly moved its head and turned towards me. As its massive shadow looms over me I then charged towards it with a fierce battle cry.

darkness surrounded me but as my eyes adjusted I find myself floating within a slimy substance surrounded by an algae like structure and I’ve realized that I was inside of the creatures body. Then I notice there was something squirming in the distance, as I swam forward to get a closer look i’ve discovered that it was the prince of the deamanatas, the very person that the creatures hand had consumed and he was being strangled by something. I had to act quickly as I swam towards the prince and used my thorny tentacles to tear off the retched thing that was strangling the prince. Pretty soon the prince of deamanatas was released from the very thing’s coils but just when it was about to strangle me, I riped it in two.

Me and the deamanata prince swam to the wall of this stange place and together we’ve began to pry it open in order to escape the monsters insides. With all our might and strength we’ve broken through.
Narrators pov:
the mysterious monster was outmatched, it has just met its doom and started regurgitated its two victims that it consumed. Both princes of deamanata and matrixsys have survived and escaped the beast’s body. In a mere instant the monstrous creature had begun to shrink as its arm began to leak its liquid substance everywhere. Pretty soon it began to retreat back outside until the two princes regained consciousness as they quickly tried to get on their feet and see the beast trying to escape but the metakai needed to help prove of the creatures existance.

Metakai: young prince of deamanatas we have to stop that creature from getting away or we’ll never prove this creature exists.

The young prince of the deamanatas was hesitant at first but he had to agree that he was right. So they had to work together to trap the creature, so metakai charged at the beast and strangled it with his tentacles to distract it. So the deamanata prince grabbed a bow and arrow then prepaired to aim at the creatures head however this attempt failed as it missfired at the creature’s injured arm. Despratly it struggles to escape from the deamanatas kingdom, until its arm became severed from its body and retreats out into the open as its squeals of agony echoed throughout the kingdom. Its severed limb landed on the ground still leaking the very liquid that was stored inside.

Metakai pov:
as I looked down at the severed arm of the creature I notice something odd about it, there was some form of could or smoke emitting from the arm and liquid. Even the prince of deamanatas was curious, it was like that we’ve never seen this before on this world. Which pointing to a small possibility… could this be caused by... dark magic. Though I was not sure if it was but I have to keep this quiet for the time-being. As the prince and turned to face the remaining survivors of the attack, they all stared at us in awe and amazement. We had done it … we torn of its arm and frighten it away. We’re victorious.

Many of the deamanatas in the throne cheered as they raised their fists into the air as a sign of victory. As the cheering went on the deamanata prince ran over to his father and held each-other in a hug. My mother too had already begun to run over to me and check if im without any injury but thankfully I wasn’t injured. But there was one thing that I had on my mind of the creature, what was it and where did it come from and why would it attack both the deamanatas and the matrixsys?

narrator’s pov:
unknown to them that this creature was indeed a creature but it was created from black magic spell. A speel made by an evil dragon called ackman rah.

(flashback)

achman rah was banished from the court of dragons for using this forbidden black magic for his own twisted deeds. However he escaped into far away land to find shelter for himself and went into hiding. It wasen’t long till he had come across a matrixsys village and destroyed the survivors except one for this matrixsys whom had powers unlike any had seen, so the evil dragon took her in as his servant. This matrixsys was a mistress of postions and spells unlike any kind on all of matrixdeamanata. not long after he had her help create a saga of spell books made with black magic. This series of books was called the three books of ackman rah.

After the books were created and placing his knowledge into them to in preparations for his vengeance on the dragon mountain, however his death came too soon in deafet by his young distant relative named; drago. After achman rah’s death, the three books were entrusted to his servant to guard and protect. But later on she used her old fashioned potion skills to use, then one day she came across a group of travelers of matrixsys and charmed one of em into her web of magic and soon she had given birth to a baby girl. This matrixsys witch named her child morrianna.

### chapter 4:

(present day)

normal pov:

after the unexpected encounter and defeat of the monster, all of the deamanata’s gather at the castle as the king of the deamanata kingdom made a thankful speech to prince metakai for saving his only son from the monster. But the prince theowulf interupted and made a speech of his own inner thoughts.

Theowulf: father I must interrupt for a moment if you will. I must say this to the two royal matrixsys… even though I may have been scared at first but if it weren’t for this young prince of the matrixsys race, I would have been lost forever, for that I thank him for my life. Not only that he saved me, it is thanks to his intellect and desperate attempts and our efforts we have frightened the beast off and torn the limb of this rampaging creature. This severed arm of the beast is the proof of that and this is proof that the monster is indeed real but if it is still alive, we must search the land for this monster. I prince theowulf thank you metakai for your bravery. Take this arm as sign of your victory of wounding it and frighting the beast, but your kindom deserves this trophy than I.

Metakai pov:
after hearing this prince theowulf’s speech I stood there before him in place as my eyes widened with surprise and joy, being honored by the prince of deamanata kingdom was the most unexpected thing that I heard from his race. I then felt a smile formed on my face, then without thinking I bowed in front of the prince, as I looked upward to him I notice that he too bowing to me as well. It seems that he wanted up to bow to eachother as equals. Though it wasn’t long until the king interrupted the moment and spoken.

Deamanata king: (clears throt) yes well said my son. However I must remind you that we are still at war with these matrixsys… this may have been a temporary alliance and as such for my son’s sake we’ll set you free to go and by the time we encounter each-other again we’re enemies again.

Metakai pov: I looked to my mother as she nodded her head as a response to the kind of the deamanatas and soon our remaining knights recovered the carriage and added cargo wagon to carry the limb of the monster, to make sure to surprise my father and brother, we had our knights help us cover it, to make sure no one or nothing gets to try and steal our precous cargo. It wasn’t long after we were on our way back home to the kingdom of the matrixsys. Upon arrival home, to the gates of the kingdom the matrixsys guards and knights were inspecting this strange cargo to make sure it wasn’t holding any sneak attackers to our home. My mother showed em the cargo we were carrying and the guards were shocked as they let us pass through the gates. We covered the limb again to keep the surprise ready for my father. As we pass throughout the kingdom, I suddenly notice that the villagers had begun to stare at the wagon carrying the monster’s limb still coverd by the large blanket protecting the limb and they were all whispering to themselves and whispered to eachother.

When we arrived at the castle my father and brother both came out through the doors of the palace aided by the palace guards on ether sides of em as they walked to us with caution. My father looked down upon me with a serious face and spoke with little anger in his voice.

Matrixsys king: metakai young prince, where have you and your mother been, you’ve both been missing for two days since you had arrived at the outpost of densure, I was afraid that you both would’ve been lost to our kindom and as king I demand an instant explanation?!

Metakai pov:
my father yelled as I stood silent as took my breath and waited for a moment to speak until my mother had instantly spoke.

Matrixsys queen: well dear husband, if you must know then you must please hear me out if you will, no interuptions what so ever. you see upon arrival to outpost densure, it had indeed been attacked by something besides an army of deamanatas, though I am sadden to say that my dear brother had been lost to us. Taken by the very creature that the messenger had confirmed to us.

Metakai pov:
as my mother held out uncle prawn’s helmet to father, I notice my fathers eyes widened and stared at the helmet. My mother then continued…

matrixsys queen: however we rested there for the night until we were ambused by the deamanatas army and were taken prisoners by the deamanata king as leverage against us, I tried reasoning with him but he just won’t listen until the beast attacked the deamanatas and the remaining matrixsys solders that were captured. Yet just when things would’ve gotten worse, until metakai our dear son stood up to the creature and saved theowulf; the prince of the deamanatas. They even worked together to fight against the monster and took a limb from the beast.

Metakai pov:
as I went over to the covered wagon I immediately pulled the blanket off from the wagon as the limb of the beast was finally revealed to my father and brother. I looked at their faces as they both stared at the limb in shock and awe as they cautiously walked over to the wagon and make a closer inspection.

Matrixsys king: my… my son… did this … to save an heir of the deamanata king?

Matrixsys queen: well yes but the prince help him out a bit and granted our son a faithful speech to us. That young prince was very greatful to our son. even though the king doesn’t like to admit things, I feel he is thankful to us as well, however he still said that we are still his enemies, but after what he witnessed he said that he will hunt down this beast while its still wounded.

Metakai pov:
after saying this, my father looked at me and said.

Matrixsys king: well even though that what you said may be true but that doesn’t excuse our son for putting himself in danger and risk his life in the process. But at first I thought the messenger was playing at us, now seeing this large limb, I feel like im now convinced that the creature is real and now rampaging across the lands even now. I fear this could mean trouble for this world...

Metakai pov:
after that we went back inside the castle with father and my brother stared at me and smiled, I was wondering why he was smiling about but I may need to tell him of what I learned from me and the prince theowulf’s first encounter with the beast.

Normal pov:
Meanwhile far into the dark lands of the the planet of matrixdeamanata, the monster beast that attacked the deamanata kingdom and the matrixsys outpost had wandered the land wounded from its encounter with theowulf and metakai, it knew that it must get back to its home to recover soon as possible. On its long weary walk it had arrived at the pit of its lair, hidden deep in the very dark waters of the abyssal lake of darkness. As it jumped into the water it desperately tried to swim to the secret entrance to its home, but it proved difficult to swim without its missing limb. The beast did what it could to reach the cavern and yet manage to reach the airpocket of the cave. In this cavern was a carved out chamber which could been made by a dragons so long ago, but the beast always knew and remembered that it was not alone in this chamber.

Morrianna: grentor! What happened to you out there in the surface.

Grentor: (monster like creature squeals)

normal pov:
the creature sounded, as a female matrixsys appeared in the corner of a bed. The mysterious female matrixsys then notices that its limb was missing and realizes that it was attacked.

Morrianna: what happened to your limb, who attacked you?

Grentor: (monster like creature squeals again)

Morrianna: you were out hunting food for me, how does that explain your arm being lost?

Grentor: (monster like creature squeals)

morrianna: you … felt that I would not like the food you scavenge off so you went to populated areas to find real food? But you were bothered of the sounds of metal and blasting.

Grentor: (monster like creature squeals)

morrianna: SO YOU DECIDED TO ATTACK THEM, THAT WAS SO STUPID GRENTOR, I know your so desperately trying to help keeping me nourished, but still you don’t have to attack kill or feed on sentient beings or steal food for me. So im coming with you to the surface when midnight, but first …

(morrianna’s eyes glow pink pupils with green irises)
morrianna: (gasp) grentor regurgitate that matrixsys still inside your body this instant! Thats an order!

Grentor: (vomits out prawn whom is still alive barely)

morrianna: it will take all day to heal him with potions I need to make. No need to worry, once he is fully healed, he’ll be awake right after we leave him in the closest village we can find.

### chapter 5:

metakai pov:
as me and my brother entered our room, we began our conversation about the monster.

Kokorro: so what did you learn about this monster when you fought it with the deamanata prince?

Metakai: well it was not like any creature I read about in the royal libraries books, but quite honestly there was something odd about this creature that didn’t understand. I just couldn’t get the thought out of my head!

Kokorro: hmm and what thought was that?

Metakai: if its a new kind of creature, why would it be surrounded with an unusual aura? Its almost as if the aura around it... is some form of… black magic.

Kokorro: black magic!? A monster carrying black magic. You mean like casting black magic or the creature is black magic?

Metakai: I don’t know for sure, but from all that I’ve learned from that encounter, this being sure is mysterious.

Kokorro: well I guess you’ve been through a lot so lets get some rest and we’ll talk about it in the morning.

Metakai pov:
well after saying that, we got in our sleeping clothes and went to our beds.

Normal pov:
meanwhile across the edge of the borders of the matrixsys kingdom, where the two mysterious figures carry the unconscious captain prawn to the nearest matrixsys village. the mysterious figures that carry him was the beast; grentor and the matrixsys witch morrianna. After succesful attempt to healing the captain of outpost densure, both grentor and morrianna to reach one of the villages outside of the matrixsys kingdom. There were many matrixsys villagers down in the village minding their own business, hopefully they haven’t spotted grentor or morrianna yet. So they carefully laid the unconscious captain on the ground as he soon begins to regain consciousness.

Captain prawn: (growns)

morrianna: this must be our cue grentor, we must head back home before we are spotted

Grentor: (growls)
captian prawns pov:
everything was almost black as I slowly begin to feel myself regaining consciousness, my eyes begin to open and I notice two dark figures wander off, leaveing me on the ground and soon my vision starts to come back to me and got a clear look at what those figures were. One was the monsterous creature that engulfed me and the other was a hooded figure with what I think to be horns. Thats when I heard a small whisper and it sounded like a female voice, thats when I begun to realize that this voice belongs to this strange hooded figure. She was whispering strange words I never heard before, it almost sounded ancient, though the last thing is began witnessing had made my eyes widened with shock. In an instant a flash of pink light appeared and was shrouded in darkish purple clouds clouds with green dust. As cloud vanished, the two beings too have vanished as well, this was a incredible and unusual thing I had ever witnessed.

Metakai pov:
the very next morning I awoke from my sleep I began to stretch my arms and tentacles out as I prepared to get dressed. That was until I noticed that my brother was missing from his bed, I felt my eyes widen in shock and I ran down the hallways of the castle until found him stitting at the dinning hall table with mother and father

Kokorro: good morning brother, we’ve been awaiting your awakening.

Metakai: (sighs) kokorro, at first I thought… nevermind, whats the delicacy for this very morning.

Matrixsys queen: well not as much as we used to, mainly due to the war that has been going on for a very long time. But thankfully we have much to eat, come and sit with us. We have some oat deeakula and kasak bird eggs, freshly snatched thanks to our dear beast hunters.

Metakai: KASAK BIRD EGGS! arn’t kasak birds dangerous, you know what happened to the solders we sent to confront the… (ahem) deamanatas at the river of blood about a month ago.

Matrixsys king: yes and it cost us more lives than we had anticipated, if only your uncle were here he would have train those knights some skill, then those cused birds wouldn’t have to wipe out the army out there at the forest.

Matrixsys queen: dear husband… may I remind you that he was held up at outpost densure… which you sent him there to defend and you never sent a messenger to contact him to return home. So don’t blame my brother for this.

Matrixsys king: whatever. (eats the eggs on his plate) I still think he would have finished things as I told him to.

Metakai pov:
my father grumbled as he continued eating and as I sat down at the table, I’ve begun to eat my eggs as my thoughts were on my uncle and I felt that he might be in a good place with honor. Just as I was about to eat my bowl of oat beeakula, my mother then spoke to me.

Matrixsys queen: metakai my son, for the past three weeks, me and your father have been talking about the arrival of your 17th birthday. Yet it seems you have just now begun reach maturity. So it is with your fathers best interest that the time to choose a bride is nearly upon us.

Metakai pov:
when I heard mother say this, my eyes widened as I then spat out my eggs in shock and disgust. As I looked to my parents and brother as they all sat there staring at me in shock. I knew this is part of royal traditions, but still me finding a girl to have by my side as queen forever is just plain weird for me. I looked at them outrageously at my parents and began to question them as I exclaimed to them.

Metakai: WHAT! A BRIDE, NO WAY… YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS?!

Matrixsys queen: I’m afraid so my son. I know this sounds so sudden, but your father insisted that you should marry on your 17th birthday early. it may seem too soon for you to be wed, but due to the war that has been going on for a very long time, we have to find a bride as soon as possible.

Metakai: but mother how can you agree to father’s intentions? Its just feels so… embarrassing and (shudders) weird.

Matrixsys queen: I know and I had tried to convince your father to wait but he insisted that we do it early, even his adviser agreed to this decision. But I assure you that you’ll find a way somehow… and metakai… please mind your manners?

Metakai: yes mother (looks down)

metakai pov:
I felt so frustrated when I heard this, still my mothers words may seemed to have helped me and my brother. But none had prepared me for this my pushy father arranging for me. But mother was right I have to choose a bride. Curse this war. That was until suddenly a messenger barged into the dinning hall.

Matrixsys messenger: my lord and highness! Come quickly!

Matrixsys king: WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS MESSENGER!

Matrixsys messenger: its… its captain prawn, sir… he’s returned to the castle!

Metakai pov:
the hall went quiet as turned to look at my mothers face as notice her eyes went wide in shock and were beginning to form tears. We watched as she grabbed the messenger by the shoulders and begged him with panic in her voice.

Matrixsys queen: where messenger where is my brother! Is he hurt.

Matrixsys messenger: calm down your highness, he’s been escorted to us by the matrixsys villagers and being brought to the interrogation room for questioning.

Matrixsys queen: WHAT, ON WHO’S AUTHORITY? OUT OF MY WAY!

Metakai pov:
upon saying this she shoved the messenger aside as she ran through the door and out of the dinning hall. We then followed her through the hallways as ran with her to see our uncle, I felt emotion of joy as the news of my uncle’s survival flooded my mind. When we arrived at the interrogation room, my body froze at the sight standing before us… and there was indeed no mistake… it was uncle prawn.

### chapter 6:

metakai pov:

I stood in place, right before my very eyes was my mother brother, my uncle prawn, it was a shock to us all that he somehow manage to survive and escape the beasts deadly rampage at outpost densure. After a moments of silence through out the entire room and without thinking, my mother began hug our uncle prawn as she burst with tears in her eyes.

Matrixsys queen: (sniffls) dear brother… your… your alive! We thought you were dead?

Captain prawn: so did I… you look as if you’ve seen a ghost?

Matrixsys queen: It seems that I just already have… but what happened? We were sure that the beast had already taken you. We only found your helmet.

Captian prawn: well I’m afraid I was taken by the beast, when the beast consumed me, I sank deep in its darkest bowels as the liquid surrounded me started feeling strange on my skin and horns. it’s as almost like it was trying to digest me alive and everything went black. Just as I was near death, I regained conciseness and I felt life in me again. But when I awoken I’ve caught a glimpse of what appeared to be the beast that devoured me and what I witnessed before my very eyes, shocked me… there was another with the creature. I don’t know if my eyes are fooling me but I was certain there were not just one but two beings wandering off into the darkness.

Metakai pov:

I stood there and froze in shock as the three of us continued to hear my uncles story, yet what surprised me was that there are two monstrous beings on the lose. My uncle continued…

captian prawn: as I laid on the ground, I witnessed which seemed to be a dark transportation spell caused by the short one walking with the beast. After that they just… vanished with a cloud of smoke and dust. I sense this was black magic. I begged the villagers to escort me to the castle immediately, thankfully they did. On my arrival every claimed that I was dead and the solders weren’t sure that it was me so they took me to the darn interrogation room.

Matrixsys queen: well its well and good to know that your alive and well dear brother. Though you’ll love to hear what you have missed since you’ve been missing. we’ll explain it in the throne room soon, for we are making preperations for a celebration of our son metakai, for saving the deamanata prince theowulf from the beast.

Captian prawn: METAKAI DID WHAT!?

Matrixsys queen: calm down brother, as I said, I will explain in due time at the throne room. Messenger, send the invitations to our guests that our celebration will take place in the throne?

Matrixsys messenger: yes your highness.

Matrixsys queen: now metakai I want you and your brother to go meet your father in the throne room and I’ll meet you there shortly.

Metakai: but mother, if what our uncle says is true that there’s two of em then…

matrixsys queen: my son I know how concerned you are about this creature, but you cannot let your hunt for this beast cloud your mind on what is happening now on this very day… after this ball is over then we’ll deal with this matter, agreed?

Metakai: yes mother.

Normal pov:

after saying this, metakai did as he was told and preparations to the ball has already begun. Meanwhile unknown to the royal family of the matrixsys kingdom, they were being watched by a small creature outside the castle eavesdropping on the conversation and after it finished spying, it flew off far away Into the dark lands of where the beast grentor and the witch morrianna hid. Morrianna and grentor sat there in their secret cave hidden deep in the abyssal lake of darkness as she begins to heal her mothers greatest creations wounds.

Pretty soon morrianna’s arsork bat returns to her home with news and information to give her.

Morrianna: ah luuche, you’ve returned, I hope you have news for me that might become of great interest?

Luuche: (screech) (screech)

morrianna: a ball is being planned and is going to be held at the royal castle of the matrixsys kingdom. Whats so special about some party for rich folk?

Luuche: (screech)

morrianna: what your saying that there is a matrixsys that ripped gentor’s arm off is going to be there as well? … (thinking) hmm sounds very interesting. Oh this is going to be really fun… oh grentor come over here?

Grentor: (growls)

morrianna: would you like to have your vengeance on he or she whom took your lost limb? Well you’ll be happy to know that there is going to be a ball at the royal castle of the matrixsys kingdom and the one who took your arm is there, but you will not harm or kill him.

Grentor: (growls)

morrianna: I just want you to lure him to our lair?, if you have the will to do so and just make sure that he will follow you here to this cave?

Luuche: (screeches with alarm)

morrianna: oh don’t worry luuche, i’ll be perfectly fine… now both of you… go to the matrixsys kingdom! Lure the limb taker to our hidden sanctuary… oh and bring me some rich fancy royal food while your there, maybe some grilled kasak bird supreme.

Normal pov:

as her guardians and servants they followed her biding and they both left the cave as morrianna began to whisper to herself.

Morrianna: what to expect when the one who ripped my mother’s creation’s limb once he or she arrives into my home. Though I may be very curious to meet this strong person.

### chapter 7:

normal pov:

as half of the matrixsys kingdom begun to gathered into the throne of the royal matrixsys family, the king and queen stood there behind the curtians of the matrixsys throne awaiting the arrival of all the matrixsys kingdom’s people still forming in the hall of this massive throne. It wasn’t long until the royal guards escort the two princes to their parents and soon the gathering of the matrixsys people has been attended. As they all stood there in the throne awaiting the appearance of the king and queen of the matrixsys kingdom to appear with their sons, all the horns sounded off throughout the throne and soon the king and queen entered from behind the royal curtains. The entire matrixsys kingdom bowed before them as they took their seats. Then came the two princes entered the throne as they too took their seats until everyone was all here in the throne.

As the throne became quiet, the king of the matrixsys stood up and has spoken right before his people with words that must be spoken about. As he tells about the tragedy of the outpost of densure and how many of both matrixsys and deamonatas fell at the fallen outpost.

Matrixsys king: hear me, hear me! I had summoned you all here today, to celebrate not only for the safety of our remaining returning to our people, but to celebrate my son’s victory over a monsterous beast that has rampaged ours and the deamanata’s kingdom. I know you all are confused of what this had to do with the deamanata’s well, i’m sure my son will tell you all of this tale which if only I had to bear witness his courageous valor.

Metakai pov:
as I stood from my seat, I walked before my people and took in all my thoughts and memories of my encounter with the monster and how I manage to save the prince of the deamanatas.

Metakai: as you all may have heard… there had been strange occurrences that have been happening in both territories as our war with deamanatas have continued on. That was until one day a messenger came at our castle to inform us that the outpost of densure had been over run by the deamanatas, but the last stand at out post densure was unexpectedly interrupted when a mysterious monster entered the outpost and killed many solders of both matrixsys and deamanata. Only few of both sides manage to survive the encounter with this beast as it vanished without a trace and so has my uncle who has been presumed taken by the monster. as me and my mother left to the fallen outpost at densure, we began to bear witness the gathering of remains of our fallen knights and solder and what they found of whats left of my dear uncle, they found his helmet which they failed to deliver to us by the messenger. When the night had arrived another army of deamanata solders captured us and brought us both before the deamanata king and he planned to use us as bribes to stop the war. However that was until the unexpected occurred, this monster the messenger had discribed had attacked the deamanatas throne and attacked remaining matrixsys solders and the royal knights of the deamanata king.

The beast kept on smashing em and grabbing them from the ground and throwing em across the throne. It then took the deamanata kings son; theowulf in its grasp and absorbed him into its hand. Some how I needed to do something about this  and did the unthinkable… I charged at the beast and entered its body and began to rescue theowulf by tearing the thing that was already strangling the prince,  thankfully I manage to rip the wreched thing off the prince with my tentecles and we mangaed to free ourselves from the insides of the creatures belly.  After escaping the monster’s body, we both discovered that it was wounded and attempted to retreat, but we attempt to capture the beast but it was almost too strong or so we thought. As  we confronted I strangled it with my tentacle while theowulf use his bow and arrow technique to kill the beast, but it was barely a success, yet we manage to sever it arm from its body.

After we achived victory by tearing the limb of the beast, the deamanata king set me mother and the remain survivors of the outpost of densure free and theowulf gave us the creature’s severed arm to us as a thankful offer. It was this short truce that we temporarly made that manage to obtain this very limb of the beast… BEHOLD I GIVE TO YOU THE MONSTER’S ARM!

Metakai pov:

as I stood there looking at the crowds faces as they all watched the curtains opened up to reveal the arm of the monster that attacked outpost densure. Everyone in the throne gasped as saw their eyes widened in shock and amazement, they were all messmerized by this arm and how large it was as it hung over from behind the royal seats. But I had to still continue on speaking.

Metakai: my fellow citizens and knights, our world is in a middle of a crisis, as an unexpected event  has occurred last night and an unexpected return of our lost captian of outpost densure, I present to you captain prawn of outpost densure! For he has returned to us with an alarming discovery that troubles me to this day. However we all will banish fear, panic and sorrow. Let us hope we may have seen the last of this beast.

Metakai pov:

after saying this, everyone suddenly began cheering with joy and as if they were praising the great dragons. I looked to my parents, brother and uncle, then  notice different expressions on their faces. Mother showed that she had sighed with relief that everything went well, my brother began making a nervous smile, uncle prawn felt uncomfortable, but my father well… he looked really mad at me and I didn’t know why. So I rested my case on my father’s part, still I’m glad that everything turned out well.

Normal pov:

later that evening, a lone matrixsys villager rests in his cozy hut in the edge of the swamp of shadows. Until he was suddenly awoke as heard a strange noise from outside and he looked out the hole to see what made that sound. Thats when he caught sight of the very thing that disturbed the villager from his peaceful slumber. The mysterious unnatural growl came from the beast grentor as he wandered across the land and made his way towards the matrixsys kingdom. The villager was alarmed that the kingdom may be in great danger...

### chapter 8:

normal pov:

as all the villagers throughout the matrixsys kingdom began dancing in the ball room, metakai’s parents sat there in the throne enjoying the scene as the music played, while others start feasting rich foods at the dining buffet table. That was until the doors immediately opened as a villager entered the ballroom, trembling in fear.

Lone matrixsys villager: (shouts) king of the matrixsys kingdom, a monster is coming!

(Music stops)

Matrixsys king: (turns attention towards the lone villager) what?

Lone matrixsys villager: a creature marches its way towards this very kingdom, whom hates the smell of happiness, I had saw it passed by my home.

Matrixsys king: the beast COMING HERE! … CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD! Send the troops to the gates immediately. MAKE SURE THE BEAST DOES NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM!

Matrixsys captian of the guard: yes your majesty it will be done.

Normal pov:
as the captain of the guard, leaves the ball room, many of the matrixsys citizens began chattering with concern and fear after hearing the beast grentor is even now on his way here to the kingdom. But metakai whom had faced the beast before by saving theowulf the prince of the deamanatas, began thinking ‘if he had beaten the beast before, he can do it again by finishing the job in the very ball room’.

Metakai: it seems that the time has arrived to finish what I had started. I say LET THE BEAST COME! I beaten the beast before and I will finish it here and now.

Kokorro: um brother, even though you faced it before, how will you know that it won’t make the same mistake of rampageing twice. don’t you think that the monsterous being infected with black magic will some how…

metakai: kokorro my dear brother, I never been sure of anything in my life, but even thought the creature is now on its way here, it is still a mindless creature under the influence of black magic. So I will make sure that this time, i’ll make sure that it never stands again.

Normal pov:
after saying this, everyone in the ballroom suddenly began to jumping with joy as they raise their fists in the air and cheered loudly throughout the entire castle. How ever the matrixsys king began to frown as he grinds his teeth together while his anger begins to boil. As the queen of the matrixsys kingdom begins to notice what was happening with her husbands reaction to their son’s overconfidence, the king stood from his seat of the throne and his yell was heard through out the land.

Matrixsys king: SILENCE!!!

(ballroom becomes silent)

normal pov:
as everything became quiet the king walked over to his son and ordered everyone to leave the ball room.

Matrixsys king: SQUIRE, I demand that you clear the ball room immediately, because I must speak to my son alone.

Matrixsys squire: yes your majesty (nervously)

normal pov:
just right when everyone was about to leave the ballroom, they suddenly heard a small knocking on the ballroom entrance. Every villager of the matrixsys kingdom froze in place as they continue to hear the doors knocking. But the king, who was starting to get annoyed by the knocking noise, began to wonder of who is knocking from behind the ballroom entrance this time. So he asked his servants to open the doors.

However kokorro began to notice that the fingers of the arm that was severed from the beast was starting to twitch. He was not sure how that was possible but as he continued to stare, he began to turn his attention to his brother metakai as he too was stareing at the arm that began twitching. Metakai’s face began to express fear and horror as he immediately turn towards the servants whom where going to open the ball room entrance.

Metakai: (SHOUTS) NO… SERVANTS DON’T!

Normal pov:
but just when the servants touched the doors, the entire entrance to the ball room suddenly smashed open and the beast grentor appeared before the crowd of the matrixsys kingdom whom started shakeing and screaming in fear as terror filled the room. As the fury of the winds entered the room, the beast grentor began screeching with agony and anger as it slowly walked into the ballroom. Somehow even if the creature was without its missing limb, it still manager to hold out and continues to pose a threat to the both kingdoms. As many of the matrixsys guests scattered everywhere screaming and panicking, the king just stood there in horror of what he was seeing right before his very eyes and knowing that he had to act he ordered his guards to distract it and evacuate the guests out of the castle as many as possible.

Matrixsys king: we have to evacuate the castle immediately before this thing takes innocent lives into harms way.

Matrixsys knight 4: yes your majesty, it will be done.

Normal pov:
as the knight did as he was being told, metakai and kokorro, hid behind the catacombs and observed the seen in a distance. Metakai notice something different about this monster, it’s almost like, it wasen’t even trying to attack everyone in the ballroom, just scarring em. Metakai was intrigued by this. It wasen’t long until something caught his brother kokorro’s eye, an huge arsork bat was at the royal buffe table as it rapped up some of the royal grilled kazak bird in a sack and started to carry the sack by its jaws then it flew out of the ballroom and away from the castle. Thats when kokorro came to the realization that this attack on the ballroom is a distraction.
