New fanfic: Rise of Zionus...

[Magus 84]

With that, the Racast and the Fomar continued to gird themselves for the possible battle. Megatron double checked his D-Parts, and hefted his Spread Needle. Sage settled his guns into the holsters built into his Sacred Cloth armor, and they headed for the ruins of the temple.
As they approached the entrance, a short Ramarl garbed in purple stepped from the shadows of one of the pillars. “You must be Sage and Megatron.” “I’m Lucca.” They exchanged pleasantries, and then decided to wait on the last member of their team, X. After about ten minutes, however, they received a call from Labyrinth.
Lab: “X has been detained, and will be there in approximately one hour.”
Sage:” Great. We’re just going to go ahead and go in.”
Lab: “Very well, just be cautious.”
Sage announced that they were going on ahead without X, to a flurry of protests from Lucca. “But, it’s against regulations to not wait for the assigned members of the team!” Sage and Megatron just looked at each other, then walked past the sputtering purple-haired Ramarl.
Mega: “So, we have a ‘legend’ that doesn’t show, and a rookie who’ll probably try to attack with a copy of the rulebook. This should be fun…”
Sage:” Let’s just hope we don’t need X. If we run into something that the powers-that-be though only he could handle, we’re probably dead.”
As they continued into the ruins, they began to see the bodies of Dimenians scattered here and there.
Lucca: “Do you think X beat us here?”
Sage: “No way. These dimenians hit what they were aiming at. X isn’t that sloppy. Besides, they were burned. X’s weapons of choice are katanas. A strong tech-user passed through here recently.”
Mega: “Oh, well lets hurry before this ‘strong tech-user’ steals all of our kills.”
Lucca: “I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that…”
A troop of about twenty Dimenians had appeared from one of the cavernous rooms up ahead, and were slowly tromping towards them, their footsteps loud on the carved stone floor.
Sage: “Get ready, everyone!”
Mega: “Who died and made you the leader…?”
