Story [Issue 9] The Darkness Series: Part 1, The Awakening

[already.dead 360]

Ariz paced across the room. He was in the highest tower in the whole empire, in the middle of his great tower. He looked across the room at the special stand they had made, and at the three Wizard Lords standing around it. They were the greatest wizards in the empire of all time, Darx the Destroyer, Azar the Almighty, and Rova the Reviver. He saw his great empire, stretched out before him from the mountains in the east to the ocean in the west, from the forest of the north to the marshes of the south. The whole lands were clothed in darkness, and dotted with shadowed cities. Orcs and other creatures were driving tanks all around. Most were building new tanks, or expanding the empire in some way. Soon he would be ready, to awaken The Fallen Warriors from their graves, deep under the mountain. All they needed was the Stone, and then the three Wizards would clean it, and it would be his forever.

Ariz had nervously looked out the window every day, looking for Yimmy. Finally one day, one of his most loyal scouts, Aztac, burst into the room, towing Yimmy behind him. Aztac had found him unconscious in the forest. He had run out of tank fuel and had been attacked by a local tank tribe. They had confiscated the Stone. Ariz furiously ran to his tank, calling his Elite Guard with him.
Ariz drove quickly through the trees in his sleek, black tank. His Elite Guard drove all around, all looking for one thing, mines. The tribe was known for its many mines, surrounding their fort. Suddenly, one of the tanks beside him exploding into a fireball. The rest of them drove as fast as they could, hoping not to be hit. Bullets flew all around them, exploding whatever they touched. A wildfire had risen, and flames were raging all over. Ariz took his two most loyal tankers, and they drove away from the others. Coming above a small rise, they saw Fort Tachamu spread out before them. Ariz told his sniper to take out their guards, and suddenly tanks were exploding inside the fort. One after one, they exploded, until there was none left.
Ariz drove down the hill, with his guards following him. Shooting open the gates, they burst into the fort. They froze everyone they saw, and drove up to the palace. There was smoking tanks all over the place. They entered the palace, and found the Lord Timur inside. Demanding to get the Stone, they killed all the guards. The Lord told them that he had sold the Stone to a fellow tribe. Ariz ransacked the whole fort, without finding the Stone. The Lord said he had sold it to the Great City Aragel, in the far East. The city was known for it’s power, and it’s leader, King Rezel, who had the mightiest of tank warriors in history. Ariz knew that he had only one chance of beating him, he had to get Mizer the God to help him.
Bringing the Lord with him as a prisoner, he returned home. He prepared a great building, and told his slaves to build the best tanks ever seen. He prepared everything possible, then invited Mizer to a feast. He had to impress him for any chance of help. Mizer agreed to help under one condition, that he didn’t destroy the city completely. Ariz, agreeing, wanted to attack right away. Mizer, who had much more wisdom, knew of a secret kingdom, hidden under the earth, who were allied with the city. First they would have to find that kingdom, and destroy it.
After gathering all his best troops, Ariz ­started his expedition. The fate of the world lay now in his hands.

The fate of the world is actually on the floor because Tanks doesn't have hands, actually.
