Chapter 6
Doom slowly returned from Legend's room, blood dripping from his banhammer.
Doom: It is done. Here is the ultimate proof of my power.
He wore a golden crown. His banhammer was sheathed in a case he had on his back, under a purple cloak he had wrapped around his body.
It was obvious that he held all the symbols of power. All the things Legend carried once. But not his power. He didn't emit that same purple aura. It didn't feel the same, standing close to him.
The only member present at the moment however was Darkfire, who, as usual, didn't overreact at the sudden change. One might say he barely reacted at all.
Darkfire: you look...different
Doom: A new god has been born!
Darkfire: alright.*sits quietly*
Doom: How would you like to join me Dark? How would you like to be a god? To rule this place with me?
Darkfire: sounds fun
Doom: You can do it yourself now that Legend is asleep, but anyway. Here you go!
With a swift movement of his hand, Doom gave Dark an identical set of crown and cloak. Dark, now an Admin himself, gloriously reigned over the Legendary Order, joyful over the new leadership (well, as much joyful and glorious Dark may let himself be).
Darkfire: *salutes*
Doom:*salutes back* All hail!
Doom then proceeded to make an announcement to the rest of the Order through the voice channel:
Doon: Legend's Reign of terror is over! As of now I am in complete control of the Order. The throne is mine!
ChapZ was the first to appear after the announcement. In the blink of an eye, he surfaced from his massive pool, taking in his surroundings. It took him some time to recognize the former mods.
ChapZ: Whoa hey! That was your plan?
Doom: Yup! And you have been my supporter. You've indirectly kept the rest of the members from opposing me and helped me track down helpo. As a reward for your services, you will be given our latest banhammer. Carry it with pride! Congratulations! You are now a mod!
With these words, Doom caused a banhammer to appear right on ChapZ's tentacles.
ChapZ: YAY! I love this! Thanks ^_^ Now I can give myself as many points as I want!!!
ChapZ was so excited that he kept flailing all of his tentacles on every direction. Especially the one holding the banhammer almost hit Darkfire in the face, before he crouched under the incoming blow with a swift perfect move.
Doom: It's alright. We'll have plenty of time for festivities later. We still have to douse helpo's house in gas. He is not going to be trapped here for much longer. Have you booked the tickets to Kosiche?
As usual, helpo's tickling voice whispered into Doom's mind at this point, as if he was awakened at the mention of his name:
helpo: Sorry, it is not Kosiche, but Koshice! Plus I don't live there. It is just my ISP's official location . And--.....Whoa. This is... What are you doing with the order? This is just...This is JUST LOL! Or rather, ROFL!
Doom: There's been a sudden change in leadership. And here is the other thing: 1) I don't believe you and 2) IP tracking provided a circular area with Koshice at the center. So we are going there to start sweeping. See you soon
helpo: Well how large was the area? 500km?
Doom: No, not that large I think. It ended right after Jasov.
helpo: Well, that's about 30 km, so yeah, it's safe to THINK that it is not that large. It is only a little bit less
Doom once again had to ignore the internet troll, poking his mind, in order to focus.
Doom: Alright ChapZ. Let's go to the airport. We have a flight to catch. By the way, when does the plane leave?
ChapZ: In 2 hours.
Doom: Splendid. We have plenty of time to prepare. Have you packed?
ChapZ: Yes
Doom: Ok. Dark, I trust you on this. Stay here, and safeguard our regime!
Dark: Yes sir! *salutes*
Doom: Great. Let's go
---*Later at the airport*---
As Doom was wating in line to submit his baggage, a sudden horrible thought crossed his mind.
Doom: Hey ChapZ.
ChapZ was in a container filled with water. In order to avoid suspicion, Doom had assumed his human form, and hidden ChapZ's container in a massive suitcase. ChapZ replied through the container.
ChapZ: what?
Doom: Do you have any idea how are we going to pass the gasoline from the check in?
ChapZ: I thought you would have planned for that. You are the arsonist after all!
Doom: I don't do international jobs! We gotta do something! Hang on!
Doom skype-called Darkfire to see if he could help.
Doom: Hey Dark, how are things there?
He could see AP in the background watching the call with great interest.
AP: Hey Doom, Doom! I've found out that helpo lives in the Mediterranean!
Dark: Well, red, ap and saphire are here...they all look very confused as to what happened.
Doom: Just give them positions of power. They will appreciate it. Listen, I need your help. We are having trouble passing our gasoline from the check-in. Can you help?
Dark: Ok, I will bribe the security to let you pass. If you'd like I can do the same to the Koshice international airport.
Doom: Sounds great. Thanks.
Dark: No problem *Salutes*
---5 hours later---
Doom had spent the last 3 hours waiting for ChapZ's container to arrive along the rest of the baggage. But the sheer size of it wouldn't let it through. The personnel were very concerned about that strange suitcase, and were preparing to examine it. Catastrophe almost struck as they were ready to open the suitcase, but Doom arrived just in time, fed up with all the waiting, to stop them.
As they left the airport, they knew they had to put a lot of work in sweeping a 30km radius circular area in a few hours. So they decided to take a taxi for a ride around the city, to look for any small forest, cave or any other suitable residence for a troll.
Doom: Any other idea for a place to look as we go? I doubt we'll find many caves and forests in a city, no matter how small.
ChapZ: how about a proper flat?
Doom: Well, it may indeed be that our troll is hiding in plain sight but I only hope that is not the case.
Doom tried to ignore the confused looks of the taxi driver, who muttered something about tourists getting crazier every year, as he tried his best to load the suitcase in the back.
However, despite how hard he looked, he couldn't find anything unusual. All the time during the ride, the only possible residence for a troll he saw were the apartments scattered everywhere in the city, assuming of course helpo was such a peculiar troll (which, knowing helpo, was most likely true).
Doom: Ok. I am afraid we have to stop here. How much is it?
Taxi Driver: Well, you've had me driving around town for the last 5 hours, so it is a pretty hefty price. 500.
Doom: *sigh* Be glad I cannot reveal my true form now to punish you, as I have to catch the troll. Here. *hands money*
The taxi driver slowly reached for the cash Doom handed him, looking as pale as a ghost. Once ChapZ and Doom were out, he drove away as fast as he could. But that short exchange about the money was enough to bring yet another terrifying idea in Doom's mind.
Doom: ChapZ. How much money did you bring?
ChapZ: I didn't bring any.
Doom: Then how are we going to return home!?
Before ChapZ could respond, Doom's cellphone rang. Darkfire was calling him.
Doom: Hey Dark. Listen, we are stranded in Koshice and don't have enough money to buy a ticket home. Can you help us out?
Dark: I can arrange for someone to pick you up. But we've got bigger problems right now.
Doom: Like what?
Dark: Legend is awake.
