Calibur waits for accel to respond, before grabbing him by the arm, and beginning to drag him through the sand, giving chase in the direction that Beta man DS went!

♫ Encounter! Calibur (Oh it's you - a hat in time) ♫

Calibur stares at accel, before rolling his eyes

Alright fine, I'll give you something for helping out of this predicament.

Calibur then produces a Singular, ghostly feather

I physically cannot give you anything else at this point-

Calibur then spots Beta DS running towards the two of them

Alright, you see that guy there? Purpley evil looking guy? by the looks of things he might have caused that explosion, Now get up and help me intervene!

Would you believe me if i told you that isn't the weirdest name i've heard in my life OR my death? And its a long story that i physically cannot be bothered telling you.

Calibur then motions for accel to look in the direction where the explosion occured

Now go on then, make yourself useful and go and investigate that explosion with me, i need someone who can....actually pick things up.

Upon the book being opened a small windstorm localises in the area around the cowboy, the book lifts itself out of his hands and turns black, before taking the shape of a cloak instead, within the unnatural darkness of the cloaks hood, two green dots appear

♫ Encounter! Calibur (Oh it's you - a hat in time) ♫

Finally! I'm free! ...again

Calibur then turns to the cowboy

I still owe you nothing, what is your name, cowboy?

Theres someone sat on a box in the same railcar, swinging their legs whilst looking at a seemingly empty suit of armour in the same car.

The presumed shockwave from the explosion causes the book to tip over in the sand, landing on the opposite side it was on to begin with, the whispering grumbles turn into a comically loud groan as the book fails to open.

The fact that it took you all your strength to get out of the sand worries me greatly,But the need to know whats going on is too great,Please release me from this hellscape of a sandpit, i promise you nothing in return.

As the book is nudged, a breeze flows through the lower area of the minefield, sending some of the sand directly into the unknown persons face, the undeterminable muttering stops, before a voice that sounds like the breeze itself is whispering in the persons ear can be heard

Wow, you suck at opening books huh?, looks like we're gonna be stuck here for a while-

After veld and gharnef sit down, the person at the head of the table begins to dish out playing cards to everyone at the table, them ominously floating with a purple glow as they travelled across the room. Everyone picks up their cards and begin to play

So, it appears that there has been interrupt to our plan, This mighty 'reaper' has managed to take out three of our forces. as well as restoring the undying pain that is the summoner.

But do not fear, For our plan shall still continue, we will destroy anyone who opposes us on our quest to right the wrongs of the past.

Veld is still face down on the ground after being thrown out of the window earlier, He looks kinda dead, Gharnef appears besides him, clutching his head

That damned brat! they're undoing our progress already! and we lost Garon.

Veld gets up, dusting himself off
That Joe managed to steal my Petrify tome as well. Allow us to reconvene with the others, attempting to fight now would be a lost cause

The two are enveloped in a dark shadow, and vanish.

Garon drops to the floop, now a pile of goop with some weird lookin eye and his crown ontop

---

The portal is still there, while small, it's a lot more stable than the other portals Prototedd had formed


the portal leads to the Library, Where numerous stone statues are located, depicting different heroes, either taken off guard or trying to attack whatever turned them to stone. It's dead silent, apart from the occasional footstep

While Garon continues to thrash about, trying to claw at the itch, a voice can be heard, it sounds like the walking corpse, but less, gravelly and evil

Find the healer with the staff or restoration... but watch out... the others will not go down lightly...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Garon continues to bleed out goop,becoming more goop than corpse by the second.

YOU WILL PERISH BEFORE YOU REACH HIM, OUR PLAN WILL GO THROUGH-

Garon attempts to swipe at the itch, tearing through his armour,causing goop to leak out that's the same sickly grey as garons skin

Garon begins to grow more frustrated,and tries to lash out and strike at mighty


Let go of me, don't you know who I am?, I'll crush you into a red pulp!

Garon floats around helplessly, looking incredibly annoyed at his current predicament.

I'm not the person to ask about setting your friend free. Besides, what do you gain from this? You cannot kill me in a way that matters,all it will do is direct the others attention to yourself,and soon you two will find yourself turned to stone.

Garon looks over at Mighty,trying to tower over him, but he's only a few inches taller than mighty, so it isn't as intimidate

I have done absolutely nothing, We have simply rose back into the position of power that we rightfully deserved. It no longer matters now, If he's not here, he's most likely fallen for the trap.
