(CHAPTER THREE: Revolution)
The quartet plus Ali all walk into the entertainment room they were in previously. Before they could get inside and sit down and have a little discussion, Queen Mia rushes to Ali. The quartet turns to Queen Mia and Ali.
Mia: "Ali, dear, your uncle summons you. He wishes to speak with you."
Ali: "Is he alright?"
Mia: "Yes. He simply wishes to have a dialog of sorts with you."
Suddenly without reason to Axem, he is hit with a feeling of deja-vu. And in experiencing that, he remembers that he wanted to speak with Ali soon in private. He grabs her arm and says, "Later, you and I need to talk, OK? Promise me we will talk later."
As Ali walks further away from the quartet at the behest of the Queen, she whispers in response, "Sure. We'll hook up later."
The quartet continues to make their way into the entertainment room and close the nice elegant door behind them.
AXEM: "OK, lets have a focused discussion about what has transpired thus far and what we shall do next."
As AXEM finishes his sentence, he notices that CHRIS quickly shoots over to the big-screen TV and within seconds, he pops in GROUNDHOG DAY with Bill Murray.
AXEM: "Chris, get over here. We need to not have any distractions while we converse."
CHRIS: "Go ahead and talk. I'm here and listening."
TRITHAL: "Yeah, this is a good idea; to discuss what's going on. So what do you guys make of the whole thing with balancing out the good and evil?"
THRAX: "Well, it's something that can't be ignored, that's for sure."
AXEM: "Yeah, I mean, it has to be dealt--"
--
Suddenly CHRIS lets out one of his trademark gut-busting "hA-hA-hA-hA" laughs as he watches something funny happen on the movie.
AXEM who is quite angered that CHRIS is not paying attention, says, "Goddamn it, Chris, I thought you were listening."
CHRIS has this dumb quirky half-smile expression on his face then faces AXEM and his face then morphed into a "duh-duh, 'who, me?'" expression, "Huh? What?"
AXEM is trying hard not to lose his composure while THRAX has no problem bitching out CHRIS.
THRAX: "Dude, what the fuck? Pssh. Can't you get your ass over here and just be part of the group for once instead of being off in your own little world like you always do? Pssh."
CHRIS is totally obedient to THRAX so he turns off the movie and joins the party in closely-gathered group.
AXEM: "Anyway, so we are gonna have to unite Liiche's followers or something like that, right?"
TRITHAL: "Well, yeah. That lynch mob-thing doesn't sound too cool to you, right?"
AXEM: "Yeah."
CHRIS: "I still think it will be hard, dudes. I mean, where the hell are we gonna find these guys?"
AXEM: "Yeah, Trithal, where I ask you, where? You're a damn macha. You should know everything."
Before TRITHAL could show his bad habit of re-explaining things by telling AXEM again about how he's not really a macha, Ali knocks on the door, and asks if it is OK to come in. AXEM gets up and lets Ali in. As she whisps by AXEM to join the group, he is taken aback by how mesmerizing her hotness is. He is once again overcome with a weird half-assed sense of deja-vu like something about the moment seems extremely familiar to him. Ali joins the others in the middle of the room while AXEM stands there at the entrance sort of in a daze.
THRAX gets up and walks over to AXEM and utters quietly enough where only he and AXEM can hear, "Dude, are you just gonna stand there? I know she is hot and you wanna fuck her, but she is taken....have you fucked her yet, you damn gigolo, you?"
AXEM is struck with a massive chill down his spine because he is suddenly remembered a thought he had back in episode 12: Ali remains to be unaffected by his mutant pheromones by not jumping on his dick. He is yet again, reminded of his need to have a "one-on-one" with Ali, and sees that this meeting needs to be sped up.
AXEM: "Ok, so anyway, what were you gonna say, Trithal?"
TRITHAL, who is known to have trouble remembering conversations from a minute earlier, forgot what he was about to say.
THRAX seeing that that this meeting was going nowhere, remembers that we all wanted to know why King Midus was in such a need of restoration.
THRAX: "Ali, weren't you gonna tell us what's wrong with Midus?"
TRITHAL: "Yeah, I was in there with you, and I saw what was wrong with him, but you haven't said how he got that way."
Ali: "Well, here is how it all shapes up. As you all know, I was sent to live with my Aunt and Uncle at a young age. What I didn't mention in the cafe was what happened after that point."
CHRIS: "Uh, wait a minute, this better not be another long, boring, monotonous story like Trithal's back story, or I'm leaving."
TRITHAL getting his own signature "geeking-out" look on his face says with his arms lifted up in an awkward manner due to Ali's presence, "Chris, shut up, OK? My telling of my back-story was necessary for everybody's understanding. Just like if you had been paying attention to what Axem was saying a few minutes ago, you would've understood how irritating you can be. So pipe down and shut up!"
Ali, seeing the asshole form of TRITHAL, quietly readies herself to speak: "Considering what I had been through with my father, everything was going OK. I was living under the loving care of my Aunt and Uncle. After my father's assimilation, Liiche apparently was not satisfied. Obviously he didn't want anybody trying to reclaim the house of Tanchi so he decided to exterminate all persons related to Annan of Tanchi, including me. I don't know how he found out I was here, but Liiche marched to the Mountain Castle and invaded. I thought it was over, and for sure I was gonna join my father in the afterlife, but I was wrong. My uncle's armies were immensely mightiful back then. No invasion succeeded back then. Not even Liiche's.....but not without a price paid. During the invasion while the soldiers were battling Liiche's army, Liiche himself penetrated the castle and came dangerously close to finding the King's suite where I was hiding deep into the castle with my Aunt. King Midus vowed that he would not let anything happen to me. He gave me his word, and promised that I would grow into adulthood."
THRAX whispers to AXEM, "....that you would grow into total hottie-ness!!!!"
AXEM: "Y.....yeah."
Ali: "So Midus faced Liiche and stood his ground. Aunt Mia hid me in a corner telling me that my uncle would take care of this problem. After a half-hour of this going on, A chambermaid had entered the room and informed us that the invasion was successfully repelled and nearly everyone was OK. I, being the inquisitive little girl that I was, questioned the 'nearly' part. During the battle, Liiche had stabbed my uncle with some strange blade that infected him with a cell degenerating illness that he wasn't aware of until years later. It's sort of like modern society's version of AIDS. Right after Liiche and his followers were expelled from the palace, he suddenly felt very dizzy and collapsed. He was able to get back up again, but never felt any better. Slowly but surely his conditioned worsened to the state it was in until yesterday. During years after the invasion, Mount Sabretooth's forces diminished to the point of being completely vulnerable due to my Uncle's illness. We have just been fortunate all these years to have not been invaded. My Uncle continued to be almost permanently bed-bound."
Ali starts to become tearful from her own story.
Ali: "It hurt me to see him and to think of the majestic and powerful fighter he was before. This illness was slowly eating away at him. Some days he was better, some days he was worse. It seemed like his life was coming to an end until a few months ago when our allies outside of Mount Sabretooth found someone with a possible cure for his illness: a soul reversal spell which was in the possession of an old apothecary in a far-away land. I owed my life to my Uncle so I accepted the mission to find it. Due to the fact that Liiche and his followers were still after me, I altered my appearance kept my identity and true purposes a secret."
The quartet was stunned to learn the truth about Midus.....well, AXEM, THRAX, and TRITHAL were stunned....CRHIS instead grew his face into a weird nose-twitching grimace like he always does when he appears to be confused.
Ali: "And you know the rest." (to TRITHAL): "Now I hope you can understand why I was willing to risk my own life by using black fusion by myself. Like I said, I owe my life to my Uncle."
TRITHAL sits there at a loss for words, as is the rest of our party.
A chamber maid walks into the room and informs Ali that all of the town officials are to be meeting in the King's Counsel chambers. Ali excuses herself strangely leaving our party stunned.
