Episode Seven
Thirst...for...BLOOD!
On the last episode, the team of five fought Axem Image (Sort of.  Image and Peace did most of the battling) and even convinced her to join their team to go beat the crud out of Jamey, still waiting at the Village of the Skies.  However, the village is�under attack.  Whoops!

--------------------------------------------------

Back at the Village of the Skies�


Explosions are heard around Jamey, who happens to be sitting in his office, playing with Legos.

JAMEY:  What?  We�re being attacked?!  We can�t be attacked!  Because I�m awesome, that�s why!

UNDERLING:  Lord Jamey, we have a way for you to escape from this place.

JAMEY:  Ooh, that would be helpful.  Time for me to abandon my own village and quite possibly RULE THE WORLD!!!

Jamey lets out EVIL laughter that no one really suspects.

UNDERLING:  OK, here we go.

He kicks Jamey down a hole next to them.

JAMEY:  What?!  How come I�ve never noticed I was standing next to a huge tunnel?!

LORD OF SOP:  Magic.

--------------------------------------------------

Back in the woods surrounding the village.


Windbreaker, Peace, Strife, Mercenary, Typhoon and Image watch the village, continuing to burn.

MERCENARY:  We will now enter to see a gruesome sight.

TYPHOON:  All right! 
BLOOD!

He licks his lips EVILLY.

WINDBREAKER:  (Ignoring the evil plotting) We�ve had enough stalling.  Let�s just enter!

They reach the Village of the Skies and find several gruesome images.  If you want examples:  Hanged bodies, disemboweled children, and corpses missing their limbs.

IMAGE:  Whoa, this is awesome!  Finally, the Village of the Skies is paying for what it did to the Village of Illusionists!

She walks over to some of the dead bodies and starts kicking them.

TYPHOON:  HEY!  Don�t start without me!

STRIFE:  I wonder who�s attacking us though.  Let�s hope it isn�t a rival village set on destroying us for the purpose of dominating the world or something.

PEACE:  Strife�

She points to a bunch of unknown people, chanting, �The Village of Blades will dominate the world or something!�

PEACE:  �I have come to the point where I�m not classifying you as, �Misunderstood.�

STRIFE:  (Not getting it) Oooh�

--------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, back in the destroyed Village of Guardians�


Titanium, Sapphire, and Minjo are seen changing Axem Fast�s tombstone to read:

HERE LIES AXEM FAST:  Axem Fast says, �Hey, shaddup!�

TITANIUM:  I think that�s enough revenge for today.  How about we go stalk those idiots?

SAPPHIRE:  If they�re idiots and we go beaten by them, what are we?

TITANIUM:  SILENCE!  I OWN YOU, SO SILENCE!  BWAHAHA!

MINJO:  It�s amazing that I take this abuse.

They take off towards the Village of the Skies.

TITANIUM:  Let us now have some sort of role later in this story!

--------------------------------------------------

Back at the place being burninated�


Image and Typhoon are still kicking dead bodies.

TYPHOON:  My life is now complete!  BWAHAHA!

IMAGE:  I think I had my share of fun.

They regroup with the other four.

WINDBREAKER:  So why haven�t we done anything yet?

Mercenary points to Strife, crying over the body of Reeky Loser (Which happens to be missing its left arm), the boy that should�ve been in the elite group instead of Strife.

REEKY LOSER:  Hey, I�m not dead yet�I�ve just lost an arm here!

STRIFE:  NOOOO!  MY LIFE IS OVER!

REEKY LOSER:  You�re such a moron.

STRIFE:  I mean, I can still hear his voice�I should just throw this body away before it haunts me.

REEKY LOSER:  Are you paying attention?!

Strife throws the body with all his might across the horizon.

REEKY LOSER:  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

STRIFE:  I can still hear him screaming in pain�

PEACE:  That was�Disturbing.

IMAGE:  Let�s go beat the crud out of a few more people before beating up Jamey!

EVERYONE ELSE:  Yeah!

PEACE:  Wait!  I didn�t say that!

LORD OF SOP:  Quiet.  Don�t you want to be like all the cool kids that say that?

They confront two Village of Blades fighters.

GUY:  Hey Dude�DUDES!

DUDE:  That�s right, Guy!  Let�s take �em because we think we�re awesome!

GUY:  Right!

A pointless battle begins.

DUDE:  130/130

GUY:  150/150

AXEM WINDBREAKER:  500/500

AXEM PEACE:  300/300

AXEM STRIFE:  500/500

AXEM MERCENARY:  600/600

JK TYPHOON:  600/600

AXEM IMAGE:  400/400

DUDE:  Check it out!  We�re outnumbered!

GUY:  Yeah!  Let�s do this!

PEACE:  I have thoroughly established that everyone except me in this story is a moron.

LORD OF SOP:  Pretty much!

Dude and Guy charge into the group of six.

STRIFE:  Hey!  Let�s split up for some cheesy battling!

EVERYONE ELSE:  Yeah!

PEACE:  �

They divide for the purpose of fighting 3-on-1 battles.  Windbreaker, Peace, and Image take Dude.  Strife, Typhoon, and Mercenary take Guy.

LORD OF SOP:  Do I want to write a battle?  Of course not!

They instantly kill their opponents, spurting blood and organs everywhere.

PEACE:  I�d just like to point out that I didn�t do anything.

LORD OF SOP:  According to me, you did.

--------------------------------------------------

Back in Jamey�s Office�


UNDERLING:  I figure I should leave before something arouses (Not that, you sickos!).

The six barge in.

SIX MORONS:  STOP RIGHT THERE BECAUSE WE ARE MIGHTY AND TALKING IN UNISON!

UNDERLING:  Whoa!  With that kind of speech, I should!

Typhoon charges up and slices off the underling�s head.  Blood sprays everywhere.

TYPHOON:  This is kinda fun!

LORD OF SOP:  And this will be the only episode where we will ever have this kind of violence.  I ran out of ways to animate blood already :)

MERCENARY:  Seeing as we are in the forbidden office of the obviously evil Jamey, let�s search until we find something that seems to be of importance.

STRIFE:  Hey, I found something!

MERCENARY:  Oh yeah!  Uh huh!  Woohoo!  My birthday!  :)

Strife picks up a TOP SECRET DOCUMENT OF EVILNESS, as writing on the document indicates.

STRIFE:  However, I don�t know how to read.

Peace snatches the document from Strife�s hands and reads it aloud.

PEACE:  �I am Jamey!  I am evil and clever like an evil and clever villain!�  Yup, Jamey was a wacko.

MERCENARY:  Just keep going until we stumble onto something amazing.

PEACE:  �I�ve developed the most evil and clever plan yet, thanks to yours truly.  By doing evil research in my library of evil, I have found a way to be awesome as well, though I already am.  BWAHAHAHA-�

She flips through nearly ten pages of HAHAHAs.

WINDBREAKER:  And this is handwritten!  Jamey has no life at all!

PEACE:  (Resuming) �However, I must destroy the other villages that surround us first, starting with the Village of Illusionists.  I always hated them.  They think they�re better than us.  I�ll show them.  I�ll show them so well that-�

She skims through more until the rambling is finished.

TYPHOON:  Gimme that!  The juicy stuff is always at the end!

He snatches the document and flips to the last paragraph.

TYPHOON:  �In conclusion, I will destroy the other villages, obtain their Shards of Power, and rule all of Neptune!...And possibly this country too.  Yes, that�ll work.�

MERCENARY:  Ooh!  The plot thickens!
