Puzzles In Darkness: Beginning

by ManRock

  Kyzeip finished explaining to Rolando that they were going to be leaving Hadur right away. Rolando said: “huh, it was an eventful trip while it lasted, I don't know what I'm going to do with that boy”. Tea said: “ass fuck him, U’s a gay right”. Rutilius said: “Mr. Arry, watch what you say, dear god I can't stand the idea of what you just said”. Tea replied: “wat, U’s against same sex lovin”. Rutilius replied: “no, I can't stand the idea of a Human and a Kreeton being together in such a way, it’s unholy”. Kyzeip said: “too bad for you, it's legal for a Human and a Kreeton to get marriage on fourteen planets”. Rolando said: “you think me and Maxizz will get married, I never even thought of it, where will it be held, what will I wear”. Rutilius sadly said: “this is hell, I actually want to be stuck in the dark cave again”. After a few short minutes Kyzeip and the rest finally made it back to the hotel to see Increst and Maxizz standing outside. Maxizz said: “I'm sorry, I will take all the blame when we get to the academy”. Increst said: “fuck ya you will, any way we already packed up all your shit”. Rolando said: “great work thy brethren, when shall the carriage arrive for our departure”. Increst said: “do either of you have some spare dolls so we can call a cab”. Kyzeip said: “the government isn't sending us a jeep this time”. Increst said: “not after they heard about the fucking fire”. Maxizz said: “again I’m sorry”. Increst continued: “also I'm low on cash and fuckup-boy spend every doll he had at the pub”.

  Kyzeip and Rolando chipped in for a cab to the connection center. When they arrived at the connection center Rutilius was extremely surprised to see the place organized in such a way. Rutilius said: “this is unbelievable, to think back in my time transport Crystals were a death trap for both sides of the great war”. Tea said: “da fuck U’s talkin about”. Kyzeip thought: “back during the war every transport Crystal on every planet was highly guarded every second. If an Kreeton transported to a Human area they would of been killed right away, same goes for the Humans if they tried transporting to a Kreeton area”. Rutilius said: “so true, but now look at this even the commoners can travel by these”. Tea said: “it isn't not dat amazing grandpa dude, everyone’s does it”.

  Rutilius looked at the signs and said: “uhm I’m confused, why do the signs say Hadur”. Kyzeip thought: “that's because anyone can use a transport Crystal, all they need is to visualized area from another transport Crystal and transport to it”. Rutilius said: “oh I see… wait does that mean we're on Hadur at the moment”. Kyzeip thought: “correct, did you think we were somewhere else”. Rutilius said: “I thought I was still on Boggle, that was where I died, how did I end up on Hadur”? Kyzeip stops to ponders on what Rutilius just said, Maxizz calls to him: “hey Kyzeip, don't get left behind”. Kyzeip snapped out of it and continued to enter the transport Crystal. Rolando thought to Kyzeip: “Kyzeip do you think the pure brains will be able to transport with us”. Kyzeip replied: “after what I just realized I think they absolutely will”.

  The transport Crystal teleported Kyzeip and his team back to Evie and like Kyzeip said the pure brains transported with them. Rolando thought: “you were right, Kyzeip what did you just found out about them”. Rutilius said: “yes Savage, what did you just found out about us”. Kyzeip said: “it not just what I found out about you, it also involves the dark cave and why it disappeared the night we left it”. Tea said: “oh boys, it’s Kyzeip story time”. Kyzeip explained: “the idea of a hole disappearing never seemed right to me from the start and I was curious how the Broots in the dark cave were unidentifiable and so easy to kill in one strike. To me it's become more clear to assume that a tree of death has the same power as a transport crystal”.

  Rutilius said: “outrageous I just asked for how you knew we can transport, not another lesson on your ridiculous theory”. Tea said: “hush up”. Rolando thought: “I want nothing to do about the dark cave, but you have sparked my interest, you may continue”. Kyzeip continue: “if the trees of death have some kind of teleporting power than the endless tunnel loop makes more sense for starters. Another clue is the Broots, they were all weak and hard to tell what kind of Broot they are with the highlight. If we assume the Broots were actually fetuses, we shine a new light in the dark cave. As we all know Broots have an outstanding ability to heal any part of their body as long as the head is still okay. And as soon as a Broot is killed the body will rot away and compost in minutes. Perhaps that compost contains the Broot brain that will travel in the dirt and back to where the tree of death once was”.

  Rolando thought: “hold on Kyzeip, you and I both know Broots have no brain, there just monsters”. Kyzeip replied: “and yet even monsters can learn, remember what happened with Maxizz and that monkey-Broot. I don't think mindless monster would pass up a chance to kill for a cheap mine impression. Just like Anders, the Broots were probably just pure brains like him living in the dark cave, the dark cave works like a brain when using a transport Crystal. But that doesn't change the fact that Broots have regenerative abilities, they can keep coming back to live to kill for eternity as we know it”. Rolando thought: “you're not saying Broots are immortal are you, if so then what purpose do we have as Slayers”. Kyzeip thought: “to minimize the problem as best as we can. But who knows, the more we find out about these dark caves and how they work, then we can stop the Broots from ever coming back. But only one can dream”.

  “Back to what I was saying, I realized that the transport Crystals have a connection to the dark cave and to our minds”. Rutilius said: “what connection would that be”? Kyzeip replied: “it’s literally a connection, think about it both the transport Crystals and trees of death connect with all planets. When I and Rolando got exposed to the dark cave we've gain the ability to connect our minds to each other and your pure brains”. Rutilius said: “and what about us, we don’t even know how Mr. Arry died little known if he actually was ever in the cave”. Kyzeip thought: “that's true, but neither of you have a physical vessel to contain you thought waves. Without a body the limitations for pure brains are different from living beings”. Rolando thought: “what makes you say so”.

  Kyzeip thought: “I find it odd that both Tea and Ander can phase thru most matter except for the structure of the dark cave. That being said I also got curious to how Tea was able to kick Anders ass last night. I’m almost sure a pure brains power come from what they can imagine they can do, that's how they can travel thru a transport Crystal, because they assumed they can”. Tea said: “and like dat U’s lost me”. Rutilius said: “I will have to agree, I can't keep up with your logic”.

  Kyzeip thought: “remember what happened in my lucid dream, the two of you experienced temperature and other sense. Just like in the dark cave Ander couldn’t pass thru me but not the walls, it was almost like both he and I were in dream, but I have bite marks on my arm that says a different story. Just like having a constant lucid dream, a pure brains power comes from their limitless imagination. In short, if a pure brain can imagine teleporting with a transport Crystal then it will happen, taking away the walls of the dark cave Rutilius thought he was a ghost and had the subconscious of knowing he can phase thru me. With that in mind, the other pure brain that controlled Rolando must of subconscious that he can control who ever wore his helmet, like he cured it himself. And let's not forget that the pure brain must of been hundreds of years old, he had more experience to overpower Rolando's mind”. Rolando thought: “that will explain why I wasn’t able to see pure brains or in the dark like I am now, that pure brain was blocking my mind”. Kyzeip thought: “correct, I was thinking the same thing, you seem to be smarter than I gave you credit for”. Tea said: “so we can do’s anything we want”. Kyzeip replied: “with unclear limitations like outside of physical matter, yes”. Tea said: “so I's can go fuck myself”. Tea turned himself into a woman again and started to play with his new body. Rutilius said: “what have you done”. Kyzeip replied: “I think I made a regrettable mistake”. Rolando thought: “I think we are done for now, I’m no
t comfortable next to Tea”. Kyzeip replied: “yes I will hold on to my theories for now”.

  Team 4 of a kind had returned back to the academy, as they headed off to their room Coach yelled out to them. “HEY OVER HERE, the counselor wants to see you four in his office to discuss the cleansing mission alright”. Maxizz said: “oh so does that mean he didn't get the report”. Coach replied: “no he got the report and saw it too, it started off with a bang and ended with a fuckup-boy”. Maxizz said: “how's your eye doing, the patch looks epic”. Coach said nothing but gave Maxizz a dirty look before he left. Increst pats Maxizz on the back and says: “he going to fucking kill you in you sleep”. Maxizz replies: “guess I’m sleeping Kyzeip style tonight”. Tea says to Kyzeip: “bro, I’s love your team”. The team enters the counselor’s room and sat down to review on the cleansing mission. The counselor says: “well, well, where do I begin, I guess I should congratulate you all coming back in one piece. Well let's get this out of the way shall we, fireworks, Maxizz what do you have to say”. Maxizz replied: “I will never bring another firework to a mission or training session ever again”. The counselor said: “good, I'm glad you understand the consequence of your actions, but I'm still going to have to show discipline after we're done here”. Maxizz sadly said: “that perfectly understandable”.

  The counselor said: “well now then, Increst, Rolando told me that you did your best, but your results are only acceptable. your goanna have to pull more weight if you want to stay here, also I would appreciate it if you don't give out such vulgar nicknames”. Increst response: “aye, aye, Captain PG”. The counselor said: “that's better”. Tea asked: “yo, wats wit dis guy, he go treat U’s like kids”. Kyzeip replied: “this academy suffers a lot of bad rep, combined with the fact that Evie is close to entering the lower class category, it makes sense that Captain PG here is trying hard to bring a good reputation to avoid shutting down the academy”. Rutilius said: “and yet one Savage can destroy all his hard work with a firework”.

  The counselor finishes lecturing Increst and Maxizz then moves on to Kyzeip. The counselor says: “well I have to say I'm most impressed by you Kyzeip, Rolando told me how you fought back against the commissioner. You handle it very appropriately, I guaranty you all the next time he calls I won't answer. But enough of that, let's talk about the cleansing, to me it sounds like you had no problem taking charge we you needed to. But unlike Rolando I find it worrying that you didn’t help out your own teammate, especially when fighting a dangerous Broot, that kind of negligence it troublesome, I hope you can fix that in the future”. Kyzeip response: “time will only answer that question”. The counselor said: “I hope that means at least a maybe. Well then, now I would like to receive a battle report from you all, I need to know the exact situation you were all in”. Kyzeip and Increst explained there fight with the pact of wolf-Broots which bored Tea and Rutilius. Tea says: “bro, how long is dis going to take, dis guy is so boring”. Rutilius said: “I agree, I call this a waste of time and my time is infinite”. Kyzeip thought: “I have an idea, now this may sound completely insane, but what if, the two of you, just leave. You two don't need to follow me wherever I go, do something else, anything else”. Rutilius said: “that's the thing, there really isn’t much for us to do, I'm just waiting for you to take a nap so I can enjoy myself in your lucid dream”. Kyzeip thought: “that actually sounds like a good idea, I can use a nap and it might help me find out if I will always have lucid dreams. Okay I made up my mind, I going to sleep right now”. With no movement from Kyzeip's head his eyes went blank and his head started to glow to Rolando and the pure brains.

  The counselor finished writing down the details on Increst and Kyzeip’s fight and moves on to Maxizz and Rolando. Maxizz says: “it started off a bit rough and it got harder”. Tea said: “dat's wat she’s said”. Rolando cuts off Maxizz and says: “Aye when brother Maxizz beat off his monkey, he then leaped on my bear back and pounded the attention to himself”. Maxizz said: “yes... wait what”? Tea said: “oh boys, things R getting awesome”. Rolando continued: “Maxizz tightly griped thy sword and gave it a nice thrust”. Increst started to hold in her laughter, Tea started laughing and the counselor had a confused look on his face. Maxizz said: “okay that did happen, but it isn’t like how Rolando says it was”. Rolando continued: “have no shame Maxizz, as the climax was reached we finished off with choking the monkey”. Increst couldn’t hold in her laughter anymore, Tea started to cry and the counselor was baffled to what was going on. Kyzeip wakes up to all the noise Tea was making and thought: “what happened? I had another lucid dream but I didn’t see either of you”. Rutilius said: “oh you just missed an unexpected… well I don't know what to call it”. Tea slowly calms down and says: “he’s did it, he took my advice and it was awesome”. Kyzeip look at Maxizz red face and thought: “so I take it Rolando said something stupid”. Rutilius replied: “yes, it was so cringe I almost felt bad for the Savage, I repeat almost felt bad”.

  Chapter 12: Luck is History

  The review with the counselor was done with, Maxizz was lucky still in a part of the team, but he was excluded from a two hundred doll allowance increase and had to clean the Academy’s washrooms for two weeks. Team 4 of a kind still had five days off because of the mission, but Increst was worried about her skills as a Slayer after the counselor pointed her out. She continued to train and even asked to take part in the next obstacle course run. Rolando planned on taking it easy, but after finding out that Increst was counting her training, he decided to encourage her and help her out. Kyzeip did what he always does and just slept in during the day.

  Inside Kyzeip’s lucid dream he created a world where he can keep track of his notes, by doing it on a white board. But it wasn't so easy, he just stood there looking at it, trying to come to a conclusion. Rutilius and Tea was given their own little spots to do whatever they want so they won't annoy Kyzeip. Rutilius spend his time remembering the good old time when he can be discriminant to Kreetons as much as he wanted without facing any consequences. Tea on the other hand ignores his horny thoughts to talk to Kyzeip, he says: “bro wats R U’s doing, U’s should be romancing dat rocker chick, ain’t not dat knight dude”. Kyzeip said: “you're doing it again, the double negative, it's unnecessarily and awful to hear”. Tea replied: “nay, wats unnecessarily is U’s passing up a chance two fuck dis body”. Tea use his memory to create a naked Increst to tempt Kyzeip.

  Kyzeip says: “that's nice, but I have no interest in such a matter, do you not realise that there is ground breaking discovery to be had from this. Other than completing the research which is very important, there also the threat of others that already know and are willing to kill innocents to keep it a secret”. Tea said: “or U’s can fuck da rocker chick, come on bro U’s no U’s want it”. Kyzeip said: “leave me now, I have work to do”. Tea replied: “fine, guess I’s get dis sexy ass all two my self’s than”. Kyzeip threw a knife at Tea and said: “not with one of my teammates, got that”. Tea said: “ha, I’s no U’s like her”. Kyzeip imagined a cannon and pointed at Tea, Tea got the message and left.

  Several hours past and Kyzeip woke up, he ate his dinner and headed out to explore. Tea asked: “yo bro, why U’s left so early, I’s didn’t even get two see rocker chick take a shower again”. Kyzeip replied: “I got frustrated with my notes, I need to do some research that will hopefully provide a new point of view for me to look at”. Rutilius said: “I take it that means you're heading off to the library, maybe you can pick up a grammar book, I think a certain someone could learn a thing or two from it”. Tea said: “who, da knight dude, I’s thinks he talks okay two me’s”. Rutilius said: “oh forget it”. Kyzeip thought: “speaking of Rolando, why aren't you hanging out with him”. Rutilius replied: “he’s probably still assisting that foul mouth Savage and it’s still too early for him to go to sleep so I’ll just be in his way”. Kyzeip said: “in short you’re just tagging along to bother me whenever you can”. Rutilius said: “I'm
pretty sure Mr. Arry could do that himself and I would love to see you crack under his stupidity”. Tea said to Rutilius: “I’s would love two see bro show any emotion, he’s had dat face since I’s first meet him”.

  Kyzeip had arrived at a public library and sat down on a computer to being his research. Rutilius was about to ask a question but Kyzeip predicted he would and cut him off with: “this is a computer, it not like a TV, I can use this to look up any information that can be found in a book”. Rutilius Shockley said: “what, there's no such thing, if that's true then why are there still books”. Kyzeip said: “not all books hold information nowadays, most of the books here are story novels, with the internet I can find what I’m looking for as long as it exists”. Rutilius said: “a what-net, how does it work”?

  Kyzeip said: “I not going to explained to you what the internet is, just to give you an idea, imagine how a transport Crystals can be used to teleport to any other transport Crystal. It’s basically the same idea, I can put information on a website and that website can be seen on any other computer on any other planet, do you understand that”. Rutilius said: “everything except for the website part, not sure what this is or how it works, but I'll figure it out eventually”. Kyzeip said: “did you know every soldier ever recorded in history can be found online, that means all I have to do is type Rutilius P. Ander and I’ll everything find you”. Rutilius said: “you will do no such thing, I mean it private you have no right to look me up, I can just tell you about myself in person”.
