“To play the game, please transmit 5 coins.”
Lestyr said. “Coins? Money? But i don’t have any money.”
Zork replied. “No money?!” Rupynn exclaimed. Rupynn and Lestyr
began to laugh.

“Er…Lestyr M’lord, i don’t want to get blood on your carpet, so i’ll stab him outside the room.” Rupynn said. “Oh, ok!” Lestyr replied.
Rupynn led Zork out of the room. “Listen Zork,” he said. " I don’t want to kill you, blue boyo. I sought you out because i need your help. Follow me, and i shall show you where to get coins." Zork followed Rupynn through the maze of corridors and down the seavator. “But if we go back in there, Lestyr will just get angry again-” Zork began. “Oho, we never told Lestyr thy name boyo. So all we have to do is get you a disguise, And Lestyr will be none the wiser!” Rupynn interrupted. “But…Is he really that stupid?!” Zork asked. “Yes.” Rupynn replied. “Now make haste, we have much to do.” Rupynn said as he led Zork down a staircase. “This leads to…A more shady part of the city. i must ask you to let me do the talking. “And Zork,” Rupynn said while they went down the stairs.” I must ask you not to wander away. There will be shady goings-on all around us. You must stick with me." Zork nodded. “Good. Well, here we are.”
It was a run-down looking establishment, with a broken neon sign that read:" Skeletanic’s". "If there’s something you want to buy, you can buy it here. If there’s something you want to sell, you can find somebody who wants to buy it here. Zork, i will say this one final time. Stick close to me. The sort of people who frequent this establishment are savage.
They bring their own carrion and rotting flesh here to be torn apart by performers. You can go back now if you want."Rupynn said.“I’ll stick with you, like you said.” Zork said. “You’re brave, boyo. Now. Let us enter.”
They entered “Skeletanic’s

They entered Skeletanic’s. it was filthy.
“Here’s where we shall get you a disguise. Now, you must stay put. Lean against a wall. Try to look edgy.” Rupynn walked away to talk with someone Zork didn’t know. There were all sorts of strange conversations being had in there. “Guys guys guys omg omg there’s another planet that makes robots to fight evil robots in our universe we just have to find it!” A voice said. “Shut up, Leonard! Nobody cares!” A second voice said. There was a fight being had about something, but Zork had no idea what. Zork heard a piercing scream. His head whipped round to see what had screamed. Someone was being mashed into pulp by a very tall man with a mace. “I oughta learn ya to respect yer elders!” He said.
“Here, this ‘un. Couldn’t we use him for t’night’s show?"The mace wielding man said. “Yeah, he’ll do. we just gotta boil 'im first. That’ll soften up his bones, make for a more entertaining show.” Zork felt sick. “Boyo, are you alright?” Rupynn said as he returned with a shopping bag.
“No. I just want to leave this place…” Zork said as someone was forcibly dismantled a few feet away from him. “Well, i think that ‘tis a good idea. now let us tot tarry-"Rupynn said as he knocked over a bottle of something that said: “Combobulus oil” on the label. “Did you just spill ma drink?” A very small skakdi piped up. “Erm…Sorry, little one-” Rupynn began. “OHO LADDIE YER GOIN TE KARZANHI FER THAT” The small skakdi roared. "Jack! Oi! Get yersel’ ower here we got some daft gowks ower ‘ere who micht be lookin’ fer a fecht!” The small skakdi said to a giant skakdi. “I’m hungry…I fancy a wee snack, eh mac?” The giant skakdi growled. “S’Bashing time.” The small skakdi said.
Suddenly, a third voice said something to the small skakdi and the big skakdi. "Listen here, the noo. Mac, Jack, Ah’m sure they didna mean to spill yer drink, so let’s a’ be pals, eh?” It was the tall mace-wielding man!
“Dinna hurt ‘em they were jus’ ‘ere for some shoppin’.” The tall man said.
He turned to Zork and Rupynn. “It’s a’right, i grew up on Zakaz, their lingo is my lingo too.” He said as he led them out of “Skeletanic’s”.
“I dinna think stayin 'ere’s such a good idea fer you two. Then again, i dinna much liek it 'ere neither.” The tall man said. “Er…Would you by any chance wish to accompany us?” Rupynn asked. “Laddie, ah wis thinkin’ 'bout leavin this place fer years. Problem was, nae one ‘ere wis a good man at heart, and trust me, i wid ken. I’ll come wi’ you, micht be fun tae see the world again. oh and by the way, I’m Aither.” The tall man said.
“I be Rupynn.” “And i’m Zork!”
Aither joined the party!

Skeletanic’s sounds like a fun place.
I’ll be interested to see what role Aither plays.

think of him as the “susie” of the team. in terms of the role he plays, not his personality.

“Hang on, how do i know my name is Zork?” Zork asked.
“Boyo, now is not the time for such mysteries. you should put on this disguise now, before it goes out of date.” Rupynn said.
“How can a disguise go out of date?” Zork asked.
“Boyo, now is not the time for such mysteries. you should put on this disguise now, before it goes out of date.” Rupynn said.
" :grimacing:" Zork said. He took the disguise out of the bag.
It consisted of an orange pakari, a top hat, a cape, and a cane.
“Hey! i should wear this all the time! This looks great! How did you know this stuff would look so good on me?” Zorked asked.
“Boyo, now is not the time for such mysteries. you should put on this disguise now, before it goes out of date.” Rupynn said.
Zork put on the disguise. “Ye look michty fine, laddie. said Aither.
“Now, we must make haste! I Also have the coins we need to play Lestyr’s game. let us go!” They set off for Lestyr’s building.
But the alleys are treacherous and twisting, and one way or another, they became separated. “Blue boyo! where are thee?” Rupynn cried.
“Ach, we’ve lost 'im.” Aither said. Meanwhile Zork was running around without any sense of where he was going. And just as he thought things couldn’t get any worse, he heard an all too familiar rustling. “SYNTAX ERROR” “SYNTAX ERROR” Said two robotic voices. “EXPECTED SU_TOA< GOT UNKNOWN>” PROCEEDING WITH RE_WRITING”.
The hose-like creatures closed in on him…“Get in here!” A new voice said. Zork was pulled into a room by someone or something. “Goshdangit, you really gotta be more careful nowadays!”
A small man said. he was orange and white, and wore a mask with a visor. “Who are you?” Zork asked.“Name’s Robyx.”
Robyx led zork down a set of stairs into a damp laboratory.
“Here’s where i’m making my stuff. i got something that could topple
that clown who calls himself Games Master.” Zork looked interested.
“I’ve seen you going into skeletanic’s. You’d only go in there for coins or to watch someone get ripped apart. you don’t seem like the type who’d watch someone get ripped apart. If you’re going to Lestyr, I want to help you take him down.” Robyx said. “But i didn’t say-” Zork began.
“I can see it in your eyes. you wanna fight him, take him down, break him into a million pieces and put him back together again, don’t you?”
Zork wasn’t sure what to make of Robyx. “I could take him down with what i’ve got… If it was finished. Say, would you like to help me?” Robyx asked. “Er-” “Great! i knew you could help me!” Robyx exclaimed.
And so Zork began a side quest.

“Alright, you’re gonna have to get me what’s at the end of this map.” Robyx said. He held out a map. Zork took it. “Follow it, and tell the thing you meet i sent ya. and be quick about it, i don’t got much time.” Robyx said as he led Zork up the stairs and shoved Zork out of the door. The hose creatures had disappeared. “What have i got myself into now…” Zork mumbled as he followed the map.

Meanwhile…

“Drat and figs! We shall never find that blue boyo!”
Rupynn shouted. “Ach laddie, dinna fash yersel’.
Ah ken whit tae dae. We’ll jist scream as loud as physically possible
and wait for 'im to come to us.” Aither said. “My friend, i don’t think that’s a good idea-” Rupynn suddenly heard a voice. “Surely not?” He said.
Rupynn ran off towards the voice. “Laddie! Wait for me, ye wee scunner!”
“You!” Rupynn pointed towards someone Aither didn’t know.
“It be the foul old man!” Rupynn said. Menduce was making some sort of deal with someone very small in a long cape.“Karzanhi. If there’s one thing i don’t need it’s you interfering.” Menduce said. “Get outta here boss, I’ll deal with 'em.” The cloaked man vanished into thin air.
“Who was that?” Rupynn asked. “Mind ya own beeswax, bub. Now, i gotta thrash you.” Menduce replied. “Ach, it’s twa against ane, ye’ll lose quicker than me auld gran lost her wooden leg on bonfire night!”
Aither said. "Heh, these mods ain’t useless. Menduce Began to contort his body. A horrifying sight stood before them. Menduce had become some form of spider-creature.“Game over, boys.” Menduce said in a voice more beast than man. The battle was on!

Spider Menduce used knife legs!
Aither took 1.2 damage!
“What?! That oughta killed ya!” Menduce exclaimed.
Aither used smash.
Spider Menduce took 5,000 damage!
“Good gravy! What on earth was that attack?!”
Rupynn asked.
"Ach, s’nothin’. I learned it on Zakaz. Ye gotta jist mash wi’ all yer might.
S’no easy. i wis tryin it when i wis jist a wee laddie, the mace wis too heavy, an’ i got m’sel ’ hurt. Ye’ve jist gotta try to get stronger an better to pull somethin’ like that off. " Aither replied.

Meanwhile…
Zork had reached his destination. It was a small box.
It had a screen on it. The screen flickered on.
“BLOCKED_USERS_ @ ROBYX
WHO SENT U
“Robyx sent me.” Zork said.
NEW USER THAT IS NOT ROBYX
ERR
ACCESS GRANTED” The screen read.
The box opened. Inside was a green skull,
With neon green glass over the eye-sockets.
Zork picked up the item, and began to carry it back to Robyx.
He would have a few questions for Him when he got back.

Zork arrived at the lab of Robyx. “HA! Thanks, kid! Gimme the skull-” Robyx began. “No, actually. Why were you a blocked user? And why did it open when i said you sent me?” Zork interrogated.

sigh, It’s called the friendship lock.” Robyx hesitantly said. Zork looked dubious. "It’s Lestyr’s creation. someone who got blocked isn’t allowed to open it, because they’re ‘bad’. if they get someone else say their name, that means they made a friend and are now ‘good’. Robyx explained.
Zork remembered that Lestyr was quite stupid, so he wouldn’t put it past him to make something like this. “Okay…” Zork handed over the skull.
He followed Robyx down into the lab. “Now, kid. This is where it all begins!” Robyx said. Zork realized that there was some giant black frame in the middle of the lab. “What is that?” Zork asked. Robyx placed a ladder near the frame, climbed up it and put the skull on the frame.
“I call it: Spectrum. This is what i will use to overthrow Lestyr…” Robyx said as he climbed down the ladder, opened a drawer, and took out a headset. “It was nice knowing you.” Robyx put on the headset.
There was a flash of light. Zork closed his eyes. When he woke up,
the laboratory was destroyed. All around him was rubble, from the lab and from various surrounding buildings. Robyx’s body was lying on he floor, lifeless. the black frame was glowing with all the colours of the rainbow. “Ah, you’re here! i hat ThInke-d Th A t y0u leFt!” The creature said. “I haVe B3c0meD…Spectrum!” Zork looked on in horror at the creature. it was tall, and dragon-like. it had a pair of enormous glowing wings. “W!th th3se p0w3r, i c4n rul3 th1s c1ty!1” Zork ran. “Wh3r3 ar3 your full stops, Good king Zork?!” Zork suspected that Robyx- No, Spectrum, was even more insane than Lestyr. “Oho, blue boyo! there thee be!” Rupynn said. “We saw the explosion, an’ we ran tae ye!” Aither said. “K1d! U d1dn’t s4y u had fri3nds! what a pretty girl!” Spectrum said while looking at Rupynn. “L3t’s have a scrap?! y33s!!1”

“Play the b0ss music!”

“Phew, i be glad that’s over.” Rupynn said.

Zork, Rupynn and Aither slowly walked to…somewhere. “Where are we?” Zork asked. “This be mine humble abode.” Rupynn said. “Enter, good friends.” They entered. Inside it was nice. The furniture was all polished wood. There were several Chairs around a large table, As if there were once more people living here. Rupynn handed Zork a small cup of tea. Everything was calm…

Meanwhile, elsewhere…

Garnel was running. She didn’t know where to. Away. Away from Him. The Silver one. She heard his thunderous footsteps. The sound of everything being crushed. Shattered. Stabbed. Broken. She caught a glimpse of his blue eyes. He raised his spear. He uttered something.
The spear flew from his hand. Garnel was pierced. In a voice cold and emotionless, he said: “Two down. Six to go.” The enormous silver warrior walked away. Over the past few days so many had been killed, he thought. Is this really what Mata Nui wants? The silver warrior went along his way. the people who saw him cowered in fear. He paid them no attention. They had deserted faith, and so he and his comrades deserted them. After all, the universe needed to be kept safe. And how better to keep the program safe than to kill viruses?

WARNING: next chapter is a big “meanwhile”.

As Zork, Rupynn and Aither drank tea and exchanged jokes, something quite different was happening elsewhere. The throne was misshapen. The throne room was misshapen. The entire realm was misshapen. The man sitting on the throne was misshapen. He stared with his three eyes down at the prisoner who had been brought before him by his guards. He spoke: “You may leave now, Ritter and Lovani.” The two skeletal warriors shambled out of the room. As they did, the prisoner grumbled. “Oh! I forgot you were also here!” The misshapen man said. “So, i believe introductions are in order.” Silence from the prisoner. "Come on boy, don’t be shy."Yet more silence. “Don’t try my patience!” The misshapen man screamed. He tossed a chain at the prisoner. It bound the prisoner as if it was alive, winding round the prisoners yellow and black body.
“Last chance. Who are you?” The misshapen man roared. Silence was his reply. The misshapen man was furious. “BURN.” He whispered.
The chains were alight with flames. The prisoner screamed. “Guess i’ll go first, then.” The misshapen man said, barely audible over the screams. “My name is Karzanhi. And welcome to my lovely, scrummy, cuddly, palace of eternal torment and mindless labour!” The chains stopped burning. “And you are?” He asked. The prisoner managed to say his name: “…Ast…Astrada…” He went unconscious.
