Salfraslatar was getting closer to the group of 10. Protected behind his shields, he was impossible for them to hit.
Luckily, Bronze Mage had an idea.
"Into the pocket dimension, quickly!" Bronze Mage said, opening a portal. The group were soon huddling inside a refrigerator in the Dimension of One Large IKEA Overrun By Zombies.
"Why are we in this dimension instead of the Dimension of Infinite Five Star Hotels?" Chaos grumbled, hitting a zombie with a table leg.
"Because there's a portal by Customer Service that leads me directly to Percy Silver." Bronze Mage explains. "We just have to fight our way through the zombies to get there."
Priori used her powers to take control of all the zombies.
"Oh."
*******
Ghost Division made their way through the streets, and finally ended up at the casino, where they soon got into an intense game of poker.
********
When the ten of them made it through the portal, they found themselves in Zemlya's comically oversized bedroom.
At the moment, Percy and Zemlya were still there, and at the moment they were...

Before it could be determined, well, a portal opened up comically under their feet, and all 10 members fell through...
"Vados!" shouted BM as the VECities landed in the showroom of the Casino...
The Colorfolk group, well...
"Welcome proud Warriors and Monsters of SOM! It's time for our hourly Extreme Bloodbath Gladiator Games! With today's special contenders, the Colorfolk!"
.....
On the outskirts of Deszeld, Suleiman's group had finally arrived...
"See? I told you we would make it here by the next scene transition!" shouted BA
"What are you talking about! IT took us six hours to hitchhike our way here! Eddie fell asleep halfway here and Steve has been carrying him since!" shouted Suleiman
"*Mutter You wouldn't be talking if you could see the 4th Wall like myself Mutter*" muttered BA
"Whatever, since going through the front gate is the dumbest way of entering a SOM Stronghold, we won't be going that way. And even though there's no way in hell they're not expecting us, that forest close to the shoreline will provide a way straight into the city if the Demise Architects of Keyes haven't changed..." spoke Suleiman
"Why the hell would they put a forest as a portion of the defensive line to defend their city?" questioned Eddie, who Silent Night had forcefully awoken moments ago...
"Stein's got a couple of subordinates who rely on nature for their best work. That forest is meant to be an alluring trap to dumbasses stupid enough to enter it not realizing it's a maze meant to make you lose your senses..." replied Suleiman
"But aren't we such 'dumbasses' as you put it by openly walking into the forest when we know it's going to mess with our senses?" questioned Silent Night
"Which is the kind of stupid they wouldn't expect!" added BA
"But we're VEC ,shouldn't they be expecting this kind of stupid from us?" asked John
"Well, it's the only plan I've got that, most likely, won't get all of us captured in one go, unlike going any other way, so come on.." ordered Suleiman as he and BA led the way into Stein's Forest...
"This is either a really stupid or brilliant plan, but knowing us, somehow it's going to blow up in our faces..." remarked Miraj as she followed along...
Meanwhile...

Zemlya was Seeing what Percy silver was capable of
"Ice magic!" He screamed. Both were frozen in a massive block of Ice

Zemlya unfroze Percy and herself, rolling her eyes. "You'll get better soon." She said. GODDAMNIT At that moment, Zemlya noticed the glowing blue sword strapped to Percy Silver's back. "What's that?" "Oh, that's the Sordon. It's like a blue sword thing that steals magic or whatever. I've had it ever since Game I, but it hasn't been mentioned by name in over two years, so it's no surprise people forget about it. The guards didn't even take it." "Huh?" Asked Zemlya, who wasn't 4th wall aware. "It's a magic sword thingy." Percy said. "Ah." Just then, the group of ten, who did not break into Zemlya's quarters just to be thrown out, TUG , leapt into action. Man In Pink, Vengeance Bringer, and Woman In Purple leapt at Zemlya. "Percy! Come with us!" The Bronze Mage. "We miss you at VEC!" "Um, no." Woman In White interjected. "He's going back to his father where he belongs." "Absolutely not. We're rescuing Woman In Orange for you, the least you can do is give us him." "OH, FOR METALICANA'S SAKE!" Radiating energy, Zemlya levitated above the others, furious. "You're all arguing about what to do with Percy Silver. Have you thought about asking him what HE wants? He's not your puppet! He's a person with opinions and feelings! An alarming amount of which involve Cookie Monster, but still!" "That's rich coming from Metalicana's puppet." Man In Pink snapped. "That's.... that's different." Zemlya stuttered. "At any rate, Percy Silver isn't capable of making his own decisions. He's a minor with Ambiguous Sitcom Disorder. He doesn't know what's best for him." Woman In White added. "So you're going to coddle him and try to protect him from himself? You colorfolk really are pathetic." Chaos sneered. "Guys, maybe we should give him a choice." Vengeance Bringer said. "I know what it's like to be forced to follow a code of morals you don't agree with." "Fine." Bronze Mage snapped. "Percy Silver, go with the army of palette-swapped drones and get locked in a basement for forever, or come gain absolute power with us." "Okay, that's it! You don't know what Percy Silver wants!" Woman In White snapped, pointing her ring at Bronze Mage. Percy Silver looked up at Zemlya, Woman In White, and Bronze Mage, tears in his eyes. "I want... I want... I want everyone to STOP FIGHTING!" Suddenly, faster than anyone could see, Percy Silver drew the Sordon and slammed it against the ground. Everyone who was on the ground flew backwards. Bronze Mage hit the back wall with a sickening crunch. Zemlya lowered herself to the ground next to Percy Silver, who was breathing heavily. Blue energy was glowing in his eyes. "You okay?" Percy Silver spoke, but it wasn't Percy Silver. It was an echoing voice, still youthful in a way but somehow darker for it. "I am fine. But confused... who..."
And then suddenly the blue light vanished and Percy Silver was back. "Bronze Mage is just sleeping, right Zem?" "Yes, but we don't want to be here when he wakes up." Zemlya replied. "I've already texted Riddell, he'll take care of the trash. We need to get somewhere safe." Percy Silver sheathed the Sordon, climbed onto Zemlya's back, and yelled "Giddyup!" as Zemlya took a dragon form and flew off into the sky. In the room, the protagonists began to stir. "Bronze Mage is hurt." Woman In Purple noted. "Thanks for the insight, useless." Chaos snapped. "He's also the only one that can portal us out of here, and until we can get him to Sickoia, we're stuck inside of Deszeld." Priori took charge of the situation. "Ve neet to get out uf here before thees "Riddell" shows up." "Too late, necrophile." Said a voice from the doorway. The nine who didn't have broken backs stood around the Bronze Mage in a circle and powered their attacks. "Beast Hunters... ATTACK!"

Ceros, with Verrona on his back, leaped into the room, bucking the nearest enemies. Verrona, already having two arrows drawn, shot the VECities, getting two for two, since all the arrows were nets.
"Crap! They have Vallerium nets!" shouted Chaos angrily, trapped with Hivemind and Priori and Vengeance Bringer in the other net.
"Keiko! you're turn!" yelled Ceros
"My pleasure!" replied the woman as she morphed into her fox-like form and spat a huge fireball at the Colorfolk group. When the fireball impacted, it stunned the Colorfolk, and those who avoided the impact tried to escape, but couldn't due to a circle of fire being left behind that seemed to act as a forcefield...
"Damn! Eastern Magic!" growled Man in Pink
Riddell soon walked in, and stood over the Bronze Mage...
"Well Phyphyxlstyx, next time, don't rush towards the climax, this city has a whole lot more in store for your little group. The Motto of Deszeld City is, after all, 'Enjoy the sights because they might be the last you'll ever see!' Also, we're just the lackeys, so have more caution next time you openly venture in enemy territory..." laughed Riddell as he shot BM with a bullet, then hit him over the head with the butt of his fun ,knocking him out...
"Lieutenant, what should we do with this lot?" asked Verrona
"Since the Bronze Mage is injured, he'll go get a checkup from the one and only Dr. Sterben, and take each net with the VECities to Raven and Sa'luk. As for the Colorfolk, I think Dolor was in the mood for a new star attraction..." ordered Riddell as he lit a cigarette...
.....
Suleiman's group had just entered the forest and were not ready for what was in store for them...
"I told you we were supposed to go left at that tree!" yelled BA
"And I told you we already passed that tree!" replied Suleiman
"What do you mean?" questioned Miraj
"This is an Alluring Forest! It was specifically designed to doubt your senses! So I'm ignoring mine and going the opposite of what my gut tells me..." answered Suleiman
The Executioner is smarter than he appears
But he's still in for a whole different world of fears
"What is that? Who goes there?" shouted Eddie
This Alluring Forest has an exit that's hard to find
With ways to it that will mess with your mind
"Is it coming from the trees? Who could be saying these cryptic things?" wondered Steve
Let's play just a little longer
For people are coming that are stronger
"Crap! They know we're here! We have to hurry!" yelled Suleiman
Those VECities have yet to notice us
How could they be in such a rush'
Sounds from all around were now heading towards BA and Suleiman's group
Oh, can ya hear?
Move over, make clear! "The hell is going on?" growled BA
The ones Master Stein sent for have arrived
It's 'Swordsman Hunter' Kenji's Shrine Five!
Five shadowed individuals were currently in the trees hovering above the VEC group, they were surrounded...
Meanwhile...

In the nets, Chaos was panicking.
"We're totally screwed! This is where it ends! And I was becoming a fan-favorite, too!"
Hivemind rolled her eyes. "Dude, you've got plot armor thicker than the Horned One's-"
"Dude! I've got a plan!" Chaos stage-whispered. In a louder, hammier, voice, he added: "Oh, if only you could comfort me with a story, perhaps the story of our very first victory against the colorfolk!"
"You were at that battle." Hivemind pointed out. "What good would it do to-"
"Just trust me." Chaos said.
"Fine, whatever. So, our first battle. We were attacking Tidmouth to get some fish when two colorfolk showed up. Vivian, Honeybadger, Grammar Nazi, and Bronze Mage were outgunned. But then, Medium prayed to her weird writer gods for a deus ex machina, and out of the skies came Elvene."
"Please, tell me more about this "Elvene" you speak of."
"Why would I..."
"Just freaking do it, Hivemind. It's not that hard."
Hivemind sighed. "Why are the guards putting up with this?"
"He's got earbuds in." Chaos said, pointing up at the Mook carrying them, who was lip-syncing to Taylor Swift.
"This is so stupid. Okay, Elvene was a mysterious figure who would appear to help VEC when times were most dire- oh, I see what you're doing. You're trying to make it so that Elvene is a Chekov's Gun that the writers will fire later this arc."
"Well, it's worth a shot." Chaos smirked.
"Okay, first of all, we don't worship the writers, we worship the Horned One. Second of all, Elvene hasn't appeared since that disastrous battle in 1135. She's probably dead now."
"Got any better plans?"
Hivemind chuckled. "Actually, I do..."
******
The Dragoon Generals met the GOD envoy in their meeting hall. Lord Ainz still had Moltana carrying around the Prism Of Pain for him.
"What are you doing with my concubine, lich?" Tartaros whispered as they walked in.
"She's doing some heavy lifting for me tonight. Got a problem with that?"
"Fine, but she better come back undamaged. She’s irreplaceable."
"Burn in hell." Lord Ainz snapped, trying to focus on the Prism of Pain.
"I'd love to, but I'm contractually obligated to help Metalicana." Tartaros replied, grumbling a bit.
Down on the floor, Fark was his usual "charismatic" self. "I'm sure you're all wondering: "how would we benefit from an alliance with a powerful force with global connections and fingers in every major magical organization? Well..."
"Those "fingers" are what concern us." Hecate interjected. "We know you have a spy in our ranks."
"You seriously haven't figured out who it is yet? I mean, it's so obvious."
"We know it's not the snakeman." Lord Ainz replied, poking at the Prism of Pain.
"Wait, I thought it was." Fark said, genuinely confused.
"There are things even you're too low-rank to know." Nifsara replied, shoving past Fark.
"Listen. As a gesture of our goodwill, we've lured several VEC and Colorfolk heavy-hitters into a trap. The Bronze Mage should already be in your custody."
"Confirmed." Ultear said, looking up from her phone.
"Hang on, there is no higher rank than the Council Of Titles." Fark said, distraught.
"It was need to know, and you didn't need to know." Nifsara snapped, realizing that Fark was close to ruining the plan and exposing the Vanguard.
"Okay, I'm going to need a full list of spies when we get back." Fark whined.
"Only Labyrinth and Gralikow have that, for a reason." Nifsara was fed up. "Now, since you've already botched this badly enough, how about you go with Quinn back to the ship. Gold and I will handle this."
Nifsara turned back to the Dragoon Generals. "Now, we believe we have found the location of a certain tapestry that may interest you..."

Meanwhile, Frank was trying to wrap his head around what was happening in the SOM city.
"Ok, there were a couple retcons so now I am lost. Let me get this straight- there's two groups infiltrating the city- this one with the pirates and this one of VEC-GOD-Colorfolk that's just been captured. The goal is to rescue Percy Silver, who is currently with that daughter dragon or whatever she is called. And this second group has now been captured and now they will have to fight like gladiators?" Frank said.
Toz sighed, "Break out the powerpoint tug, we're going to be here a while..." he said.

THREE HOURS LATER:
"Okay, so there's Hohenheim's group, the group that got captured, and Ghost Division?"
"Yep."
"And Percy Silver is hanging out with Zemlya while Woman In Orange as a harpy looks for the spy?"
"Correct."
"And Moltana?"
"Is helping Lord Ainz."
"Right."
********
Man In Blue and Woman In Blue returned to the base to confusion.
"I'm so glad you're here!" Man In Islamic Green exclaimed. "A bunch of people have been captured by SOM and Man In Steel's been shot!"
"Doesn't he have weird ice-themed healing powers-"
"Shhhhhh." Man In Islamic Green hissed, not wanting plotholes to derail this arc.
"Where are the Silvers and Golds?"
"Still on their respective dates/honeymoons/family nights." Man In Islamic Green replied.
"Then it's up to us. We're going to SOM and we're going to resolve this diplomatically." Woman In Blue said. "I'm our best negotiator, and Man In Blue will accompany me as our strongest fighter."
"But... complications to the plot!"
"Can it." Woman In Blue strapped a comically oversized lance to her back. "We'll be back soon."
Soon, the Blues arrived at the gates. Salfraslatar was still hanging around there.
"Hey, you! We need to speak to your masters about our captured comrades. We're willing to negotiate for their release."
"I'll let Raiossssssss know you're here, but I make no promissssssssssesssssss." Salfraslatar replied. "GOD issssssss here, and they don't want them releassssssssssed, I believe."
"Damn. We'll wait, I guess." Woman In Blue replied, sitting in front of the gate and starting to meditate.
From the far side of the walls, Woman In Orange/Okeefe saw the Blues. "Finally, some potential allies."

I think at this point it would be a good idea to explain the Ghost Division. Basically, they're the PIC's stealth department, top of their game people who will likely not affect this story very much until, I dunno, some epic battle in which GOD starts fighting and they randomly pop up like the Mary Sues they are. Unless Toz decides to do something with them like I've been waiting for him to do. (If he has and I missed it I'll be out back with the scalpel.) UM anyways, back to uh... where'd we leave off?

Two Bastions currently were taking the captured VECites to a Ninth Son, Raven was receiving Chaos and Hivemind while Sa'luk got Priori and Vengeance Bringer...
"Damn, this net is a pain! Whoever they're sending us to must be a hell of a monster..." griped Chaos
"Calm down, you act like it's the end of the world..." complained Hivemind
"I'm not the one who inhabits millions of bodies and will be completely fine even if this one dies!" yelled Chaos
"It's more complicated than that, but whatever..." answered Hivemind
The Bastion carried on down a dark passageway in a sewer until it arrived at a brightly lit room. The room looked to be a giant morgue, but it currently was hosting a party, with Crow-like Birdmen drinking and squawking in delight, and intelligent zombies chatting and drinking with the Birdmen as well.
"Oh! It's the Bastion with the VEC prisoners! Mister Raven was expecting them, put 'em in the cage Hannibal sent over, lined with Vallerium and all..." laughed a Birdman
The Bastion did his duty and the VECities were dropped in the open cage, still in the net, and when unraveled, were still imprisoned, but with more freedom to move around...
"You two better have fun now, because when the Undertaker gets up, well our fun will continue but yours won't!" shouted a zombie in delight
"Wow, can't wait to see this party knock me dead..." gulped Chaos as the SOM members laughed at his 'joke'....
.....
Priori and Vengeance Bringer had been released from the net, but were currently tied together with Vallerium chains to seats underneath a giant tent...
"Get ready ladies, for a show unlike one you've ever seen! One that will leave you begging for more, and throwing money at us for that thirst!" shouted the 'Ringmaster'
"Vhis doesn't seem sketchy at v'alll" said Priori
.....
Back in the Alluring Forest, the VECities were surrounded by the Shrine Five, SOM members working under Kenji...
"Hey Bizu, we ready to go?" questioned a large man
"Of course... Now!" shouted the woman named Bizu as five individuals, two men and three women, surrounded the VEC team
"So I guess you're the 'Shrine Five' we've heard about?" questioned Silent Night
"Of course, we're some of Master Kenji's top lieutenants, and when they told us strength was needed to take down your group, they sent us..." laughed Bizu
"So what are you going to do now?" asked Miraj
"Kill most of you and capture the useful one... Goron! Tsuri! Nawa! Get them! Kagami, do your mission!" shouted Bizu as a woman disappeared and the three SOM members ordered charged at the VEC group
"You're journey ends here!" shouted the large man as he decked Steve in the face
"Really, I'm just getting started! Learn why the call me the Ripper!" yelled Steve as he charged at the large man
"Imbalance!" responded the large man as Steve was thrusted into the ground...
"Argh!" groaned the VECite
Steve!" yelled Eddie
"Focus on your own fight human!" laughed a woman as her head began to sway and a loud ringing wouldn't stop sounding in Eddie's ears...
"Gah! What is that sound!" screamed Eddie
"Get your hands off my friend!" yelled John as he readied his rifle, took aim ,and was about to shoot until he was restrained by rope stemming from the other man...
"I can't have you hitting Tsuri now can I, besides, let's see if you can survive my constricting ropes..." laughed the man
Just then, a chained red fist hit the man...
"Stop messing with my underlings, it's about time I show you why I'm in the upper echelons of VEC you lot..." growled BA as his bright red form glowed in determination...
Bizu was cheering her fellow Tsukumogami as well as staring down Silent Night...
'Keep the Big one subdued Goron, don't stop Tsuri, and Nawa, I"ll help you in a minute once I deal with this nuisance..." shouted Bizu as she acknowledged Silent Night
"I don't like you messing with my friends..." said Silent Night as she readied an attacking stance...
"And I don't like invaders coming into our home unannounced, the world doesn't always go your sweetie, time to give you all a SOM cleansing..." laughed Bizu
"Oh, funnily enough, everyone in this group has already received one before, so your late to the party on that one, MISSY!" responded Silent Night as she charged at Bizu, but Bizu threw a bead that was attached to her arm, which grew back somehow, that it exploded. Silent Night barely dodged the blast...
"i guess this won't be as easy as I thought..." coughed Silent Night
"Well, you lot are only half our goal... Kagami, get the betrayer as ordered!" yelled Bizu
"With pleasure!" replied Kagami as she appeared behind Suleiman and Miraj...
"I'm not going anywhere!" growled Suleiman as he lunged his sword toward the woman...
"Mirror-World!" yelled Kagami as she pulled a mirror out of thin air, which she held as a shield. When Suleiman went to stab it, instead of breaking, it was more like a pool of water in where as the sword was aborbed into the mirror, dragging him in along with it...
"Suleiman!' shouted Miraj
Suleiman was no longer there, but trapped on the opposite side of the mirror, like a reflection for something not there...
"Let me out!" yelled Suleiman as he banged on the mirror to no avail, and Kagami seemingly dropping out of existence, taking Suleiman with it...
"Go Kagami! Raios is waiting for the Betrayer! We'll finish here and come meet you!" ordered Bizu
"Tata VEC!" laughed Kagami as she began to disappear into a mirror that appeared under her...
"Miraj, don't let them get away!" ordered BA as he clashed chain with rope
"Yes sir!" replied Miraj, not wasting a second, grabbed Kagami as she sunk into the mirror and was dragged in with her...
"Shouldn't you be worried, you've lost two of your group?" mocked Bizu as she threw more explosive beads at Silent Night
BA replied, "No Lady, we're just getting started... Vile Evil Confederacy, begin the Counterattack!"
.....
Meanwhile...

Can we stop adding meanwhile to the end of every post? What if I want to follow up on the above post?
Anyway...
Eddie Denim procured a guitar from hammerspace and began playing.
"Kumbaya, my lord, kumbaya..."
"What are you doing?" Tsuri asked, more amused than anything.
"Beating you the only way I can... the power of music!"
Tsuri rolled her eyes. "The power of music? Whatever you're smoking, I'd like some-"
Eddie smacked her with the guitar and she went down.
In another corner, Bizu was still throwing beads at Silent Night.
"Your stealth powers won't save you." She cackled. "I have BEADS!"
Silent Night had used said stealth powers to sneak around behind her, before doing a spinning leap and stabbing Bizu at the base of the skull.
"Beads? Such a weaksauce power." Silent Night sniffed.
Elsewhere, Goron was mocking Steve The Ripper.
"Do you even have any powers?"
"Well?"
"That's what I thought. You're such a lame character. Probably something Eyes created. You're not even funny."
"THAT DOES IT!"
Suddenly, Steve The Ripper was levitating in mid-air.
"I've never gotten any respect. But THAT ENDS NOW!"
Steve The Ripper did something that can only be described as "ripping spacetime". I don't want to describe what happened to Goron, but suffice to say it looked fatal.
But the rest of the group was... regrouping. Silent Night, Steve, and Eddie didn't know how much longer they could hold out. But it became a moot point when BA did a complicated maneuver with his chains that resulted in Lock-On John being freed and the enemy successfully subdued.
"That was a disaster. They've clearly gotten stronger since Impel Down." BA muttered. "But so have we."
Pulling out a communication device, he broadcast a signal. "Hohenheim to Diablo Tower. Prepare for a full-scale assault of Deszeld."

"Now how the hell are we going to get out of this forest?" questioned John
"The Shrine Five have failed everyone! Prepare for the backup plan!" a voice rang out
"Backup plan?' questioned Silent Night
"Get them!" voices shouted as vines spells attacked the VECities...
"Oh no... This isn't an Alluring Forest... It's a LIVING Forest!" shouted BA as vines pulled him into the darkness of the forest...
"Blood Alchemist!" shouted Eddie
The VEC group watched in horror as trees and plants began to move on their own, revealing to really the whole time being Treants, Myconids, Dryads, Nymphs, Sprites, Pixies, Fairies, Spriggans, Satyrs and other ilk of that sort... And they were now all smiling devilishly as they began their attack at the formerly victorious VECities...
"RUN!" shouted Silent Night as they bolted away but were overwhelmed by the more or less army of the forest attacking them...
Their fate... Is to be told at a later time...
.....
Meanwhile in the Mirror World...
Kagami had entered after Suleiman with Miraj falling in behind her...
"Looks like we had a stowaway, sorry girl, but your outclassed in my Mirror World, a literal realm of reflections I can manipulate to my will..." laughed Kagami
"I'm a Master of Illusions, so this fight will be my specialty, Suleiman, are you alright?" asked Miraj
"Yeah, I'll live, but I didn't get to tell the others the important info about SOM, Stein has literal forest monsters working for him ,they must have been lying in wait to attack us, and I have to tell them..." replied Suleiman
"Sorry Betrayer, but Commander Raios ordered your head, and I was sent to deliver it..." mocked Kagami
"Check again, it's 2 against 1" responded Miraj
"Actually, it's 3 against 2" laughed a bear-like entity as Suleiman barely deflected the sworded strike with his own saber...
"Swordsman Hunter Kenji, and your second in command Kumatetsu, I should have known you two wouldn't be fair behind your subordinates..." growled Suleiman as he sent Kumatetsu back with pure force...
"Yes Betrayer, I'm here to make sure you get to the Commander, and if you refuse, then I've been authroized to be able to take your head and deliver it to Raios..." laughed Kenji
"You damn ghost! Alright Miraj, you take Kagami, I'll take the other two..." responded Suleiman
"But Suleiman, it will be 2 on 1 for yours?" questioned the VECite
"Then it will be an even fight! Learn the reason I was your superior back in the day!" shouted Suleiman as he clashed against the two swordsmen tsukumogami...
.....
"Dr. Sterben, I know you had your fun with that train, but we got you an even better test subject!" shouted Riddell as he and Ceros, with the unconscious Bronze Mage on the Centaur's back, galloped into the emergency room at Sterben's "hospital"...
"What is it this time? Not another Snakeman corpse, I already have seven of thos... The King said I could mess with THIS!" Sterben excitedly yelled
"He does have a broken back, and is currently unconscious, so Raios said it would be fine for you to give him a 'checkup'..." laughed Riddell
"Marah! Barcia! I need you stat! Send all current patients to sit in the waiting room, no matter their status! Greyback! Heron! Guard the doors! The doctor does not want to be disturbed when with this subject!" giddily laughed Sterben as he threw BM on a stretcher very roughly and rolled him behind some operating doors, with loud noises, sawing, and lighting flashes going off as soon as those doors closed...
.....
The Bronze Mage woke up rather suddenly, he was in a tank of fluid, though strangely was not drowning, or breathing for that matter... He saw flashes of light, and a man working on something... Two women maybe were giving him tools, and possibly a sandwich as he added and removed things to something on a table. He tried to focus on the thing but the man was in the way, when he suddenly ran off shouting but such a brilliant discovery, and a piss break maybe... He finally got a clear image...
It was his body... But with the head cavity completely empty... And various other modifications to his body...
But then it hit him...
He was currently just a brain in a jar...
He tried to scream, but he had no oral device, just some bubbles popped near the lid of the sealed jar...
.....

Sterben was delighted.
"Marah, put his heart in a jar over there, I want to know the reason behind his longevity. Barcia, stop staring at his junk. Just because he's as hung as all 5 writers combined doesn't mean it's not also our specimen to study. I'll have as look at his inner ear, see if his magic glands are developed. This is so fun! I love my boss!"
Salfraslatar slithered in. "I have ssssssssome more dead ssssssssnakemen-"
"Piss off, snake, I'm working on the Bronze Mage here. Hey, could you get Moltana in here? I think she swiped my Forensic Fapujimucator while she was here earlier."
"Sssssssertainly."
"EEEEEEEEEE I JUST KILLED THE BRONZE MAGE Let's try adding gills!"

Man and Blue and Woman In Blue approached Deszled; given devices by Man In Bole to protect themselves from whatever barriers there were
"What about our plot armor?" Man in Blue asked. But the writer ignored that interruption. "Rude" man in Blue replied. So they approached Deszled... and it was apparent something was wrong.
"I'm sensing... a clashing of forces.. around Deszled. Something is wrong" Man In Blue explained. It became apparent as they came closer.
"It is as I feared..." the spirit's disembodied voice said. "The Anita-good barrier is at odds with the Sodor protective force; they are trying to dominate one another but neither can overpower the other. Unlike our anti-evil barrier, which operates on harmonious wavelengths to the Sodor protective force.
"What are you saying?" Man in Blue asked.
"If Deszled continues to exist here... the conflicting barriers will destroy Deszled and Sodor" the spirit said grimly.
"That sounds... like a really stupid subplot" man in Blue said.
"Well you didn't think everyone just forgot about it did you? Now go and save Sodor before it's too late!"! The spirit urged before leaving them be.
"What do we do?" Woman in Blue asked.
"Teleport the city?" Man in Blue asked
"You're kidding right?" Woman in Blue (and tug) asked.
"Well if you have a better idea I'd love to hear it!" Man in Blue said to the writer
thus concluding this desperate attempt to post in the game, we now go somewhere interesting since this subplot isn't really going anywhere for now

Man In White, Woman In White, Man In Pink, Woman In Pink, and Woman In Purple were locked up in a basement while the guards tried to figure out where to send them.
Man In White suddenly stood. "Friends and comrades, it occurs to me that these subsequent occurrences could mark the tragic conclusion of our natural lives, and thus I wish to confess to you all a secret which I have kept hidden for some time."
"That was... needlessly wordy, but sure, shoot."
"Well, you see, for some time now I have been conscious of the factoid that I in fact deviate from the norm in a specific and fortuitous way. Namely, due perhaps to the conditioning of my formative years or even the confirmation bias resultant from my highly diverse and heterogenous peer group, I have become acutely aware that, within my own unique and potentially warped psyche, a certain instinct honed in all hominids, nay, all living organisms, is turned on its metaphorical head. To put it in less abstract terms, I find myself to have a vested interest in the ritual copulation traditional among our relatively enlightened culture, but I personally experience a decided lack of immersion when considering the hypothetical of myself engaging in said rituals with individuals who chose to present themselves with linguistic noun replacers that happen to be traditionally associated with femininity. In fact, I generally find myself exclusively fixated on those who are considered culturally the opposite of the predefined social group. I selected to unveil my true inner psyche to the individuals sharing this cell with me as a result of two specific justifications- first and possibly foremost, everyone in this room may soon shuffle off this mortal coil in a relatively minute span of time, and I have no desire to take my secret to the grave, as it were. Secondly, as one of the individuals in this area has confessed to an inclination towards a duplicity of attractions towards specifically-identifying individuals, and two more of the Colorfolk herein enclosed shifted from a specific birth-assigned identity to an alternate form, I strongly suspect everyone here will be supportive rather than dismissive of my admittedly unusual proclivities."
Everyone stared. Woman In White broke the silence.
"Dude, I have no idea what the hell you just said."
"Let me rephrase. For some time now, it has become increasingly opaque that what appeared initially to be an ultimate indifference to engaging in activities of a carnal nature was in actuality-"
"Okay, I give up."

The writer of this post would like to apologize to Tug for constantly being wrong on the spelling. The correct spelling is in fact Deszeld. That's Deszeld city. I repeat, Deszeld City, the home of SOM. Deszeld City, which is the focus of the current arc.
And now back to the program....
......
Just then... it was revealed that there was a city right next to Deszeld... called Deszled!
"Oh, so that's why I was getting confused" Frank observed.

Woman In Orange was still trapped in her harpy form when she spotted none other than Percy Silver and Zemlya flying through the spires of Deszeld.
"Percy! I need to get to him!"
Woman In Orange quickly caught up to the magic carpet and landed on it. "Percy Silver! It's me! Hailey!"
"Damn dirty harpy! Get off my carpet!" Zemlya said.
"Wait! Zem! This is my friend! Can you turn her human? Please?"
Zemlya sighed. "It's a vocal trick harpies do. I doubt it's actually someone you know."
"But... what if it is? Hailey is my best friend!"
"...I thought I was your best friend."
"No, you're my third-best friend. I like Hailey and Hornby James better."
"Whatever." GODDAMNIT
Zemlya decided to humor her charge, but out of spite decided not to transform any clothes back along with the harpy. This was actually very lucky, as Zemlya reacted very differently to naked Woman In Orange than she would have to Woman In Orange in her Colorfolk garb.
"Hailey! Where's your pee-pee?" Percy Silver asked innocently.
GODDAMNIT
Woman In Nothing Orange blushed. "Um... could you get me something to wear... Zem?"
"Zemlya, actually, and I'll try, but I don't think any of my clothes will fit you."
"It doesn't matter, just as long as I have something."
"I mean, it wouldn't fit you, on account of my incredibly large bust-"
"I get it, you're superior to me in every way. Now can we get me some clothes?"
Zemlya wiggled her fingers and Woman In Orange was suddenly clad in a skimpy "sexy snowman" outfit that was somehow more humiliating than nudity.
No, you know what, the mental image is too disturbing even for me. I changed my mind. She was actually wearing a stained white tube top and pink floral "Daisy Dukes", which were so ugly they could be fatal, so she was wearing a mustard yellow trench coat over it.
"Seriously?" Woman In Orange snapped.
"Would you rather be naked? Because Toz seems to love writing about naked people-"
"Stop fighting! I don't like my friends fighting!" Percy Silver interrupted.
Woman In Orange and Zemlya held their tongues... for now...

Meanwhile, Tug was AWOL, so Moltana decided to get the plot moving by dragging the Prism Of Pain back to Sterben's lab.
"Hey, is that a brain in a jar?" She asked.
"Not just any brain. Bronze Mage's brain. I'm thinking of implanting it into a pig and giving it to Keyes." Sterben cackled.
"That's messed up."
"I know."
"Anyway, I wanted to ask you about the Prism of Pain. It appears to have doubled in size."
"Huh, that is odd. Prism's don't normally just "grow". Mind you, I've only studied a few. I wouldn't worry, though. I'm sure it'll be explained at the end of the arc."
"But it's getting hard to carry!"
"Have you tried putting it in hammerspace?"
"...no."
"Then do that."
Moltana put the Prism Of Pain into hammerspace and left to not do anything until the climax of the arc when I need her again.
Meanwhile, Tug was posting???

Well, still waiting on that eventual post, so how about some filler in the mean time:
......
Man In Bronze found himself in a strange plain of existence; one which he could not make sense of. The spirit said that he was completely cut off from the outside world; no one could get in, and he could not get out. But he knew that if he was to restore the artifact of his family line to existence, he would have to face the trials that lay before him. Deciding to forge ahead, he found himself at a crossroad... ahead of him were five doors, and everywhere else, was black nothingness.
"To reclaim your artifact, you must prove that you are worthy of that which was lost long ago. Pass the trials that lay before you, and the true staff shall be restored" a voice said... though Man In Bronze could not figure out who it was.
"I entered this place of my own free will... and will not leave until I have recovered my artifact. Show me the first challenge!" Man In Bronze declared. the first door opened, and he stepped through it. The path to recover his artifact had begun.
......
Back with the important arc at had, we still await Tug's post.

(NOTE: This isn't the "reboot collapse," this is just something that shows a little insight into what is going on in the story universe during our absence)
Throughout the 3WSR world, everyone was going about their business, be it the Deszeld City infiltration or otherwise. But the inactivity of the writers had taken its toll on the 3WSR universe, and now something had gone wrong... dreadfully wrong.
All at once, the 3WSR world began to fade into nonexistence. Everyone began to panic as their world began falling apart around them. They tried to run but it was no use; no where was safe.
"What is the writer doing?!" Man In Blue fumed.
"Daniel... I don't think this is the Writer's doing..." Woman In Blue said, scared. Then she was shocked. "Wait, who is the; how do I know?" Woman In Blue asked; until now, she really wasn't a fourth wall aware character like Man In Blue was... something was really off.
"We need to get back to the Great Hall, NOW!" Man In Blue said... and the two frantically made their way back to base. "Winston!" Man In Blue called to BT, "emergency! Recall everyone to the Great Hall!" He shouted.
......
"Just a moment Daniel, my plane has become unstable as well!" He shouted. Man In Bright Turquoise had been dealing with his own problems until now... but never anticipated this.
"Impossible! The dimension has been stabilized for now! A collapse shouldn't be possible, unless... no, this is much worse!" BT realized in fear.
Teacher manifested before him. "And the time is limited; return to your friends and stabilize the Great Hall; I shall buy you some time before..."
"Yes, I understand" BT said as he teleported out of the dimension, as well as teacher. BT's plane collapsed not too longer afterward.
......
The pandemonium continued to spread. At the Great Hall the Colorfolk were using their magic to stabilize the Great Hall and grounds... but it was no use. It was only a matter of time before it would disappear like the lands beyond the grounds... swallowed by some great white nothingness beyond.
As the remaining Colorfolk reconvened, at last BT appeared.
"Hold on to something everyone! There's going to be a few seconds of intensity before this all calms down" he declared as he took position. What felt like a major earthquake shook as the Colorfolk lost their balance. Then, as the intensity of the situation seemed to exponentially increase... everyone passed out.
......
When the dust settled and everyone came to, the sight before the Colormen was unbelievable, and something they could not believe was even possible. Though the Great Hall, and it's surrounding grounds remained and were recognized, beyond the grounds... was nonexistence. a white nothingness seemed to stretch on for eternity.
As Man In Blue regained his wits, he saw BT, drained and just barely standing. He quickly ran over. "What happened? Did the dimension collapse?" Man In Blue asked.
"No, even worse... the story stalled" BT said weakly.
"W...what?" Man In Blue asked, shocked. Then, a being never thought to appear before the characters suddenly manifested. A being who's power was so great, that any attempt to oppose him was met with swift and immediate defeat.
The Writer.
And yet, something was off about him. He was weak and sickly, and he fell to the ground. He suddenly found himself surrounded by other colorfolk. Man In Gold helped prop him up.
"Writer... what has happened to us?" Man In Blue asked, shocked.
"I have grown weak... and lack the inspiration of my compatriots. The story has stalled, and thus your reality has fallen apart" he said, gasping every so often.
"What? But the story has stalled before and we haven't has any issues! Usually Bronze Mage, Fark and I go to the pub and watch some football while waiting for the game to resume" Man In Blue said. Everyone looked at him in confusion. "What? A lot goes on behind the scenes. And come on, we all hang out when not doing the story" Man In Blue pointed out.
"Well yes, that is true... Vivian, Priori, myself and several of the others in our factions have karaoke nights every Thursday" Woman In Blue said as some other Colorwomen nodded in agreement. "But... football?"
"Hey, I go for the snacks; the game is more Bronze's speed" Man In Blue said.
"Will you focus please!" The writer screamed. Attention turned back to the Writer. "I have grown weak... and the others are off, living their lives. You lot... are the only ones to have survived this great collapse. Everyone and everything else... is gone" The writer said.
"No... you're lying. Surely the others must have found a way to survive..." Man In Blue said, shaking.
"BT is the only being besides Teacher, MM and the Cubii that has dimensional magic. And Teacher, MM and the Cubii were some of the first to disappear. What does that tell you?" The writer said sarcastically.
"That... you heavily favor us?" Man In Red asked.
"No you idiot! it means that the only reason that you lot even exist is because the one being with dimensional magic that didn't freak out when the universe disappeared used his powers to save the one bit of this universe that still exists" the writer fumed.
"So we're stuck here then?" Man In Black asked.
"There is hope... if the Writers reconvene, they can save you, and the others. But for me... it is too late. Thank you for providing me with much joy these past few years, but alas, the time has come." And then, it was the writer himself that disappeared into nonexistence. Everyone stared at where the writer once was.
"He's... he's really gone" Man In Blue said.
"What will happen to us, sir?" A future Colorman, one of the youth who lived at the Great Hall, asked Man In Blue.
"I... I don't know. I just don't know" Man In Blue said, before he himself began starring into the nonexistence.
......
Frank was returning from his sabbatical from the forum. As he opened the door to the writer's room... he was horrified. Once a room with tables, chairs, and cluttered with papers and drawings... was now a white void of nothingness. He closed the door in a panic, and began hyperventilating.
Toz came by a while later... only to find Frank laying on the floor, cowering.
"Frank, what is wrong?" Toz asked.
"It's gone, Toz. It's ALL gone!" Frank said, terrified.
Toz opened the door himself. Horrified, he ran across the hall to the room of The Writer... it was a room of white nothingness as well. "Him too?!" He said, shocked, before closing the door.
