Chapter 1-Danger is coming

The first chapter of Avalice of Doom.

## The Chapter

For a couple of months ago in Avalice, a group of unlikely Heroes defeated an villanous galactic warlord who was threatning their world for an effort to steal the legendary Kingdom Stone, killed the King of Shuigang and mocked his son (the Prince of course) and family by putting the Prince under some sort of Mind Control to use him as his own puppet. It was only through the efforts of the said Heroes the Prince was freed and the galactic warlord`s schemes and efforts were put down. While the galactic warlord was able to flee and escape, almost all of his army was destroyed with his great starship and his defeat definetly severely wounded his pride to the point he may have might as well welcomed death because now the Coalition of Planets have now a bigger decent chance to put an end to his menace. the Coalition of Planets being an organisation where one of the Heroes originated from.

However these were not the only Heroes, yet alone the whole dimension or Universe where Planet Avalice. In a different realm, the protector and Great Spirit Mata Nui was once dying and the Mask of Life had to be found. Six brutal beings known as Piraka tried to claim the Mask for their own and enslaved the Island of Voya Nui...But were stopped by the Toa Inika. Many events later the Great Spirit freed his people from Makuta and defeated Makuta on Sphereus Magna, and healed the planet so that the Matoran and people of Sphereus Magna could coexist while Mata Nui himself would still be there but dormant in the Mask of Life.

But what Happened to the Piraka? Well they were first imprisoned and then thrown into a pool of Energized Protodermis and being fused into a neutral dream eating deity.

But what now. There is a disturbance and up until now the fusion of the Piraka is no more. They are free.

"Argh! At last no more of this nonsense" Grunted Thok

"I am not sure how or why we are free" Vezok said "But if it means we are ourselves and have gotten back our bodies...Its all well and good"

"But at what cost!" Hakann shouted "Our Island of Zakaz is no more now that the "Great Spirit Mata Nui" has decided the Matoran scum and their precious Bog Snake vomit smelling excuses of Toa and Turaga are coexisting with the Agori of Sphereus Magna. And now there is no Mask of Life to steal because Mata Nui is dormant and probably will not allow his mask to be used for our greatness"

"But...We are not even in Sphereus Magna" Thok noted "This is like a different word or something. How did we even get here"

Zaktan had a plan

"Calm now Hakann...We can get ourselves a new Mask of Life...I just know it...Just look into the sky of this world and see what it has to offer" Zaktan said "I have reasons to believe that thing in the sky will be the way for use to create a new superior Mask of Life and for us to get back to our own world and become all-mighty and unstoppable"

"What stupid plan to you now have Zaktan" Said Hakann "Guess what happened last time our "Great Leader" led us...it led us becoming that stupid peaceful dream creature garbage"

"Hakann..." Reidak begun

"Just..." Vezok said

"Shut the hecking up with your lava ape mouth Hakann" Thok shouted at Hakann "Zaktan has a plan im sure"

"Indeed i have plans and you better respect my authority" Zaktan raised his voice, hissing "Do not you hear the voices and thoughts flowing into your mind about this world Hakann?"

"Only a dumb moron like you...Wait you do have a point there are new thoughts flowing into our minds" Hakann changed his mind

"Avalice? Is this what this world is called" Reidak asked.

"Brevon? Serpentine?" Hakann wondered

"Oh and of course the Kingdom Stone...The thing in the sky and the relic crystals" Zaktan mumbled

Suddenly Zaktan commanded:

"Reidak! You are still the good old hunter & tracer right? Then you know what to do...Find Serpentine! We may have use of his powers. Vezok and Hakann...You two get to interrogate Serpentine. If it means for you to become more loyal Hakann...Then you get the honor to interrogate Serpentine."

Later somewhere in the forests of Dragon Valley.

"Come back here you filthy snake. Why do not you leave our world alone already. You will pay for what you and your master has done to everyone!" Carol Tea the wildcat shouted and chasing Serpentine with her motorcycle and her new weapon she got as present.

"Aaaaah!" Screamed Serpentine has he ran for his life "Was it not enough!? Was it not enough that you destroyed my robotic arms and the fact that you ruined the great Brevon`s righteous and rightful cause!? WAS IT NOT ENOUGH THAT YOU PESKY STUPID BRATS DESTROYED ALMOST ALL OF OUR ARMY?! HERE I HAVE BARELY BEEN ABLE TO CREATE NEW ROBOT ARMS AND NOW YOU WANT TO COME AND TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME AGAIN!"

"Quit whining Villain, be glad at least you got new robotic arms!" Carol shouted

"But they barely work and almost always malfunction please leave me alone have some mercy or else you are no better than the crimes you accuse my lord of!"

Suddenly something moved in the bushes. From the bushes Reidak jumped and catched Serpentine. Carol quickly stopped her motorcycle with a face of shock and fear while staring at this new creature that does not either belong in Avalice. Reidak looked back at Carol and growled at her making her flee back to Lilac`s treehouse on her motorcycle. Reidak laughed as he carries Serpentine back to his base.

Meanwhile while this was happening. In Shuigang Palace Prince Dail is not very happy about himself and feels remorse over various things, thinking of the time he was being under the brainwashing mind control of Brevon placed by Syntax. Him being used by Brevon against his own will to potentially harm others, causing a war and almost killing Team Lilac and to an extent his own brother.

"Whats the matter your majesty" Judy the guard said "You do not seem to enjoy your dinners very much. The chefs are starting to worry that they have failed you"

"You can send them my regards to them that they have not failed anyone..." Dail said with a very depressed face "It is i who have failed everyone"

"Your majesty...It is ok" Judy said "You were not yourself"

"No... it is not ok" Dail responded. Dail started to explain: "He took everything from me and turned me into a monster, even if it was not forever. He brainwashed me and put me under Mind Control and the worst part i could not resist it, i was too weak. How am i gonna face everyone?"

"You were brainwashed it was not your fault. Everyone knows of what happened" Judy tried to comfort her majesty

"No, you do not understand, Mayor Zao of Shang Mu lectured me being weak and worthless for not resisting and being strong enough"

"Yeah but you know how he is..."

"That is not the point, he is right...I am a failure....Stupid Brevon...Why did all of this have to happen, why did he not just kill me and take the throne himself...That would have been a lot better than having my father`s memory defiled like this..."

"But come on Dail. The other leaders of Avalice were not much better either during the Brevon crisis. In fact The Magister of Shang Tu and his second in command Neera li may have been worse during this whole situation as they were more cocerned over Lilac´s past with your brother Spade rather than the recent events and when they changed their minds it was almost too late, and they were not as far as we know not brainwashed" Judy explained.

Meanwhile back at The Piraka`s current hideout Serpentine is being mistreated by Hakann and Vezok during their interrogations.

"Give us the information you little spine-slug" Hakan growled while delivering electric shocks to Serpentine using the claw back on his lava launcher gun

"Never! I will never comply to you you freakish barbarians, i only serve Brevon my liberator and savior"

"Ooooh! You think you are so big to give us the wrong answers you little Kraata snake...But do not worry i will shove my harpoon down your throat while Hakann gonna snap your bones for me to eat" Vezok said while starting to stomp on Serpentine´s tail.

Hakann started to send mental blasts into Serpentine`s mind. A great pain in Serpentine`s mind occured, feeling that something was physically attacking his brain from the inside of his brain"

Serpentine cried and broke down

"OKAY OKAY! THE REMNANTS OF BREVON`S ARMY EXISTS SCATTERED AROUND THIS FORSAKEN PLANET AND SYNTAX IS SOMEWHERE IN THE WILDS LAST SEEN NEAR MY HUT IN A CAVE TOO PLEASE STOP" Serpentine was crying like a kid being bullied in the worst ways imaginable

"Okay little bog snake freak, we will stop...but first" Vezok said raising his Zamor Launcher and shot Serpentine with a Antidermis Sphere

"NOOOO...You ...Said...you..would leeet me...g-o...." Serpentine`s mind being clouded in Antidermis and suddenly rose up with green glowing eyes mumbling "Yes...i will serve master Piraka...Must obey Piraka...."

During the dusk of the day Carol was driving home back to the treehouse fast as crazy. The creature she saw that took Serpentine was something she never seen before. She bets that not even Torque has seen that creature before. If it was a creature, mutant or "robot" that was following the banner of Lord Arktivus Brevon then why have she or Lilac not seen that type of creature before and why would it capture Serpentine, infact the creature she saw while being partly mechanical was not even a robot. Finally Carol was home at the treehouse and she parked her motorcycle and then she ran to Lilac to tell her story

"Whats wrong, you look like you have seen a ghost or something" Lilac asked her gal-pal.

Carol jumped up and down in fear and shock and blurted it all out

""Lilac! I swear, there was a huge monster! Something we never seen before, heck i bet even Torque never seen such creature either!" Carol told her story shouting at top of her lungs sounding genuinely scared "The monster wore a buzz saw like thing and some type of launcher, it looked partly robotic but it was not even a robot and it had red glowing eyes and ugly teeth and it looked like it was about to eat everybody and everything that stands in its way, it laughs and growls like all terrible"

"You sure it was not your imagination playing tricks on you again? You know considering the fact that you visit Shuigang`s arcade a bit too often ever since we got portions of General Gong`s reward for stopping Brevon" Lilac replied "I mean does this not sound a little bit too much like your imagination from you playing and being too much addicted to your new favourite arcade game "Bummer Infinite" or the movie "Annhilator II Doomsday Day" you spent the last week watching at Shang Tu´s cinema "

Bummer Infinite was actually the recent popular arcade in most of Avalice and especially Carol`s new obession and hobby ever since Torque left and things was set right in Avalice. Bummer Infinite is a arcade game where the player play as "The Bummer-man" blasting Mutants, Space Devils from another dimension and Diaboloical Cyborgs. Annhilator II Doomsday Day is a film about an evil super computer trying to take over the world but needs to destroy the chosen one in the past by sending a killer machine back dressed as a person back to the past  which Carol was also being obsessed over. But Carol tries to convince Lilac that this has nothing to do with those two subjects

"No! I swear it was real! Whatever happened to Miss Heropants who would go out and risk her own life for all of us please you gotta believe me" Cried Carol

"Carol, calm down, Brevon is gone for now on and whats left of his army is being take care of both by our own forces and in space the Coalition of Planets is defeating the rest of Brevon`s forces" Lilac tried to calm Carol down

"No but i do not know if that has to do with Brevon....maybe its something just as bad that we need to take care of quickly..." Carol breathed after her hissy fit

"Carol you need to take a break from going to Shuigang just to get to the Arcade and calm down and relax" Lilac said

"Pfft yeah right like you totally do not have an obession with going to Shuigang" Carol sneezed with a new refreshed tone of sarcasm "I mean who of us three always go to the akward speeches and memorials of the former King of Shuigang and listens to you know Spade´s brother who got brainwashed by Brevon into trying to kill us"

"Oh come on Carol that its not that black and white situation. Just like Milla, he was not himself when Brevon had turned him into what you call "Spade´s brother who was brainwashed by Brevon into trying to kill us" both of us knows that" Lilac explained

"Whats the punchline in that" Carol said with a smirky voice

"Its that i kind of feel for him" Lilac replied looking down at the ground "Imagine having your parents taken away from you in front of your eyes and then you are to weak trying to avenge them and then the murderer turns you into a puppet by using some sort of whatever mind control to brainwash you and..."

"Pfft...Yeah Yeah boohooo, I did not know you look up to Dail like he is a new celebrity like an overrated singer or movie actor or maybe even a prince charming of your dreams huh " Carol teased Lilac "And here you are telling me that i have an obession with playing an ACTUAL good arcade game and watching a great movie with actual great celebrities in roles"

"No its not like that Carol" Lilac hissed with a shocked tone in her voice, shocked by such stupid absurd false assumptions by her friend that she was looking up to Dail as he was some kind of favourite singer or movie star of her that she (Lilac herslef of course) would obsess over "See why i have a hard time believing in what you saw because you are not taking me seriously"

"But seriously i swear that there was a monster and if you do not believe me...!"

"What are you two talking about, you are not fighting again are you!?" Asked Milla coming running down the treehouse.

"What oh no no no nothing to worry about" Lilac said

"We were just talking about something i saw in the woods but Lilac wont believe me..." Carol said but Lilac covered her friend`s mouth

"What did Carol see" Milla asked

"Nothing really she saw just some animal she interpeted into being a monster from her favourite arcade game, we will be coming soon for supper" Lilac said

"Ok bye"

"Hey, what did you do that for, are you some kind of maniac?" Hissed Carol

"Sorry but you better not scare Milla with anymore of your fantasies"
