Chapter 18: The Meeting
I step into the desolate forum. I thought the Technic Forum on the original MBs was empty. This one only has three buildings!
I walk slowly, sword at the ready. This better not be an ambush... As I near the forum’s center, I can see GKF8 standing beside one of the buildings.
“Wow, you’re actually here early,” he says.
“I’m not as bad as you think I am.”
“That’s because the isn’t controlling you. However, you’re still chaotic.”
“I’m not, though. You don’t know me.”
“It’s all I’ve seen from you.”
“I guess the Brick Boards bring out some of that in me.”
It brings out me.
I’m still not comfortable with you being in my head...
It’s more fun being outside your comfort zone anyway!
Maybe it’s more fun for you.
Exactly.
“It’s now noon,” GKF8 says.
Immediately, the s enter the forum. Right on time somehow.
“Do we have a plan?” I ask.
“There isn’t really anything we can do,” the lead says. “Tony and I are the only s left, while the ’s numbers only grow.”
“We only have to deal with the lead , right? That’s how we defeated it back on the MBs.”
“Indeed, the ’s strength of being connected to a hivemind is also its weakness. Getting to the will be a challenge, though. It knows better than to expose itself to me.”
“Maybe it’s hiding in plain sight like it was last time.”
“It probably learned its lesson. We just don’t know.”
We say nothing. If we don’t know, then there’s nothing we can do...
“This was a waste of time,” GKF8 growls.
“We’ll both be around the Brick Boards, waiting for an opportunity,” Tony says.
GKF8 turns to leave. “I have more important things to be doing.”
He leaves the forum, disappearing into the distance. I still don’t think he’s doing anything actually important...
“Maybe the will get overconfident and expose itself,” I say.
“We can only hope so. Halloween is only a day away; the may act then.”
I’m almost back to the Brick Boards now. While we were eating, Krul told me how Tony survived the merging of worlds: by being inside Krul’s head when it occured. The presumably survived the same way... but how did it escape the Dungeon to do so?
I arrive in CC and decide to pay a visit to Benboy’s gallery. Ever since he joined, he began sharing images from the original LMBs. It’s a neat source of old memories. A new one appeared every day.
Until recently. There hasn’t been a new picture in days. Now that I know the is back, I can’t help but wonder if they had something to do with it.
I open one set of doors to enter the foyer and another to enter the gallery itself. No trace of Benboy, but Mipollo and AP are still here, chatting. I take another look at some of the pictures. Most were from before my time, but they’re still interesting to look at.
SOE steps inside. “This was a good show, needs a second season.”
Henny appears behind him. “It was delayed.”
“You know about it?”
“Yeah. It denied the series’s fans what they wanted, so it was delayed to ensure it’s more... well received.”
“Oh, so it was like a critics’ review copy sort of thing.”
“Yeah, something like that. Totally...”
“This sounds sketchy.”
“Only if you want it to be.” Henny smiles.
“Dude, you are mad suspicious.”
“Only if you want me to be.”
I’ve had enough of this. I approach Henny. “You’ve been suspicious ever since I arrived in the Boards! You’re working with the , aren’t you?”
“Only if you want me to be.”
“That’s not how truth works!”
What one thinks is true can vary from what another thinks...
Get out of my head!
You can be my friend if you want to be.
I run from the room before the can infiltrate my head further. I enter the foyer, but there are s blocking the door! I turn to run back inside, but Henny steps in and closes this door.
“Now it is your choice,” Henny says. “Join us without pain, or join us with pain.”
“Joining you is pain.”
I'm glad that I'm the main character of this story.
Seriously though. Very good job if you want it to be!
I return to CC. I want to stay around to keep an eye out, so I’ll see if the s make a move.
Looks like they may be already doing so... Henny is making a new topic, just a booth. I hide behind a corner and peek out. Henny’s smiling now, and is nailing a sign to his booth.
“PETITION TO MAKE THE NEW ”
This is bad... Henny adds his stamp of approval to the topic before taking his place inside the booth.
A4 approaches. He sees the sign and says nothing, an expression of horror frozen on his face.
“Yes, yes, I am ,” Henny says.
“Henny, what have you done?!”
“If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.”
“What’s this petition for, anyway?”
“ is the very essence of evil. They must be destroyed. is the essence of all that is good. They must be cherished.”
“ is indestructible. can be annihilated.”
“It is, in fact, the reverse which is true...”
A few s emerge from the booth and head for A4.
A4 backs away. “You’ll be banished for this!”
“The staff have no power here.”
I can’t just let them take A4. I jump into the fray, creating an explosion to repel the s. I blow up the booth too for good measure.
Though Henny’s still smiling, I can tell he’s not happy. More s appear from all directions. I slam my sword into the ground, creating a shockwave to push most of them back. I have to be careful not to hurt A4 in the process.
A I missed jumps at me. I dodge, so it jumps into A4 instead. He isn’t able to resist the for long.
I flee before the increasing amount of s can get to me, and I head for where the staff reside: Eternal Tower. Two of them have fallen to the . Maybe the rest will find out, but it won’t hurt to tell them.
I enter the first floor of the Tower, where the topic Talk to the Staff is. Since they’re usually too busy to be physically present, conversation is facilitated through a computer. It was the same on the original MBs.
I walk up to the terminal. The screen is blank. Looking around, I’m able to locate the power button and push it.
The screen lights up with the face of .
I jump back and flee the building. The s even cut off our contact with the staff! I’ll just have to wait and see what they have in store for tomorrow...

Could I request Jgread, TheFirstDecade, and I be in at least a chapter or two? =P (I feel like we're the chima trio as we've been the three to stay with the Chima roleplay and the Chima Fanon roleplay. =P)

I only have three or four chapters left at this point... But one scene is lacking details (which is why I haven't written it ), I think I can get you three involved in there.
