mindcrackloveThings make sense. I hope. I really really hope.
Uhm hm. Onto the chapter then!
Chapter 22
Avidya, GenerikB, Anderz, and Vechs stood in front of the nether portal that should lead to spawn. GenerikB frowned, not recognizing the portal. He tried to calculate where it would take them in spawn, but the math didn't seem to be lining up, it seemed like it should do two very different places or even times. He frowned as he looked over at Anderz and Avidya, hoping they'd be ok. He wasn't sure what to do about Vechs. Avidya hadn't said anything on the way here, so he thought maybe Avidya and Vechs had spoken, maybe an agreement had been reached. Vechs was quietly looking over a small journal, figuring out the best plan of attack.
Vechs licked his lips as he looked at the small journal and watch he kept on him at all times. He had to do this at just the right time in order for everything to work. Time distortion and manipulation were difficult. And while he knew it would work since it had worked before, it was always nerve-wracking the wait. Notably since he wanted to work proper this time. He silently started to count down as he inched closer to the portal. At the exact moment he was leaning on the portal, an explosion rocked the nether.
Avidya, Anderz and GenerikB ducked down, shouting in frustration as smoke and dust filled the air. As the haze cleared, they looked up. Vechs was no where to be seen.
“That motherfucking asshole! We gotta go through the portal! Didn't he say something about time distortion and travel and weird shit happening with portals?” Anderz shouted as he charged towards the portal. In his rage, he failed to notice someone stepping out from behind the portal. He crashed into the gentleman, sending the two of them falling to the ground in panicked shouts and yelling.
“Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck are you?” Anderz shouted as he hopped up, holding his sword out in front of him.
“Eeaasy there, Anderz. I'd rather not wind up with a sword through my gut, thank you very much.” Adlington said, pulling himself up using the edge of the nether portal. Anderz gaped at Adlington, unsure what to say.
Anderz blinked as he watched Adlington stand up. “Adlington, what the fuck are you doing here?” He said, hand on his sword. Adlington brushed himself off as he stared at Anderz. “Trying to figure out a way to get out of here? It's not like Vechs was keeping me hostage or anything. We should go through the portal and find him, shouldn't we?” Adlington said, shifting slightly. Anderz was suspicious but before he could say anything else Avidya smiled at Adlington, nodding.
“Yes, let's go. Who knows what could have happened while he's been in the overworld.” The four of them squeezed into the portal. The sound of thrumming filled their ears as everything shivered, depositing them in cold dampness of spawn.
Anderz spun around, searching for the others. He howled in rage when he saw a horde of pigmen in front of him. Light fingers grazed his shoulder. Turning around in rage, Anderz swung his sword in an arc before dropping to his knees as he saw who was behind him, sword clattering to the ground.
“Wh..what the...” Anderz whispered, staring up at Vechs. No. That wasn't Vechs. It might have been at one time. Whatever it was now, it was smirking at him, staring at him. His head was pounding, everything seemed to waver and flicker as he stared at Vechs, no at it. “Whhhaaat...”
Vechs looked down at Anderz, grinning. “Did you know if you time things just right when going through a portal, you can arrive before you left, setting up a predestination paradox? And that if other people want to stop you, they'd have to be very quick and not get into conversations with minions.”
Anderz whimpered, remembering what he had spent so long trying to forget on that first day. What they had all tried and nearly forgotten. What they shouldn't have forgotten. Guude opening the portal. Looking inside, seeing the vast emptiness of space and time. Shrugging slightly, confused. Vechs walking out from a nether portal that wavered nearby. Smirking at them all as he stepped into the void. Lines of words and sounds and colours curling around Vechs, tearing him apart. Peals of laughter ringing out as Vechs...no, the entity smirked at them, scrutinizing them. TheJims and Guude arguing about what should be done. Guude wanting to appeal to Vechs morality. TheJims offering to help Vechs, as long as he got free reign for once. Vechs laughing again, siding with TheJims. Watching TheJims and the Entity smirk at Guude and...
Anderz let out a soft groan as he passed out.
Waking up, he found TheJims staring down at him, in a small cell with no windows or doors. “Where...where's that thing?” Anderz said, groaning. TheJims smirked. “Vechs? The entity? Busy watching Etho I think. You've had your fun, running away. He told me I get to have fun with you since my plan worked. You'll be even more fun then Guude to play with. It'll take so much longer to break you completely I think.” TheJims smirked at him, leaning against the wall.
“So what, is time all in a circle then because of that asshole? Going back in time and stuff?” Anderz asked, confused. TheJims laughed, shaking his head. “Not quite. He's in a circle, but it's all looped properly, sort of. Well, once he got it to loop right. First time we've gone passed the first few thousand loops. First time you three didn't run into Shree because I figured out Etho needed to find him first, and how I managed to get to Jsano before you lot found him.”
“Jsano? What does he have to do with this?” Anderz asked weakly. His head was pounding. “Earlier iterations of the loops, he'd gather the hidden members along with BTC. They'd destroy the city, but not before Vechs started the time loop again. And again. And again. No one remembered it looping, but they did get so much easier to break after the 100th time...by the 500th time, everyone was firmly established in their roles. Only Vechs remembered clearly each cycle. He kept trying to figure it out himself. Then we spoke.” TheJims laughed softly. The sound sent shivers down Anderz spine.
“We planned. I won't go into details, in case we just started a larger loop, but if we did, it hopefully means I get to torture you for awhile before the loop closes again.” TheJims smiled at Anderz. “You just hate being helpless so much, don't you. Vechs said in every single iteration you've tried to murder him. I think this is the first time you dropped your sword when you saw him though. So sad. So much fun.” TheJims grinned, fangs and claws growing. The faint sound of Vechs laughing filled the small room.

Date: Thursday, June 13th, 2013 01:30 pm (UTC)I'm going to try and sum up what I got from that to help my mind cope...
Vechs is the evil essence/portal thing he can manipulate time. He made a deal with Thejims, they have caught Anderz and Avidya, Generik and Adlington have disappeared. Vechs has been stopped before but went through a loop so it never happend and no one has memory of it but him and Thejims.
Is it impossible to defeat him? Cuz it sure seems like it with his cheaty loops.
no subject
Date: Thursday, June 13th, 2013 01:36 pm (UTC)Yeah, Vechs made a deal with TheJims, no they caught everyone. They just scattered when they went through the portal. There were pigmen waiting to capture GenerikB and Avidya, Adlington being Vechs' minion just went to where Vechs told him to go once he went through the portal.
It would be...difficult to defeat him. He'd just start a larger time loop until he got it right and stopped whatever defeated him before. So for most purposes, it would be impossible.
Yes Vechsy is the portal thing. (it's one of the reasons TheJims was being snarky to Guude and Jsano about "getting busy" while he wasn't there, or go ahead, they could "get busy" because the entity likes watching. Vechsy likes to watch people ehehehe.) Or the portal thing is Vechsy. However you wanna call it.

I don't think I can read another chapter of... Without think of him watching >.< but I will if there's more

Date: Thursday, June 13th, 2013 01:37 pm (UTC)And the mindcrackers defeated him before but he didn't like that so he basically went back in time?
I think I need to re read this whole series xD

Date: Thursday, June 13th, 2013 04:23 pm (UTC)so whatever has happened has happened 1000x before? and in one of those loops everyone defeated Vechs? and to stop that from happening he's going back in time to specific times to see what the major change was that defeated him? and we're watching in one of the loops that has been different because Anderz didn't kill him? cause the other times he did?
I think I get it.

Date: Thursday, June 13th, 2013 09:29 pm (UTC)BTC - He's a mapmaker like Vechs. Maybe mapmaking has something to do with this ability?
Arkas - Dunno what he could do. He has to do something though.
Pakratt - Pondery!Pak?
Mhykol - I feel like he was accounted for sometime. Dunno when though
Paulsoares - But didn't you say he wasn't in this? I don't remember
Baj - Ooh, the other calm and collected guy. He'll be important now that Avi's down.
Also the FTB thing could have an effect. There are mods in this world, so Dinnerbunny can't come and save them because mods neutralize the Mojangsta's powers. Perhaps it is a mod which allows Vechs to manipulate time? Or maybe something like MC-Edit, which most mapmakers use. (Read: BTC).
In short, I think BTC will be pivotal in defeating Vechs once and for all, as he is the most similar in terms of abilities (mapmaking). So yeah. BTC, come and save us!

Date: Friday, June 14th, 2013 05:55 am (UTC)Mhykol was talked about (ie - he's over there we need to check on him) but no one saw him because Doc knocked Etho and Nebris out before they saw what Pakratt was up to.
I dunno if you'd want BTC trying to save everyone :>

Date: Friday, June 14th, 2013 04:56 am (UTC)*starts humming to "Will the Circle be Unbroken"*
Temporal shenanigans = virtually hopeless situation barring *ahem* temporally drastic measures.
And as good a guy as BTC is... if he comes in to save the day, I can only surmise that such a situation will only hand the hapless heroes from one villain to another in a hand-basket. "... trade one dark master to another..." so to speak.
All in all, unless you're willing to bend the plot over backwards and in all sorts of convoluted circles you haven't already twisted into the weave of the narrative, I can personally see the only 'good and rational' ending for this sort of story being a sad and/or pyrrhic one.
And if that's the case, make it worth it, Ms. Scaredi, as I am not a fan of sad/pyrric endings unless its done in good taste. The story you've fed us thus far a compelling read, and it'd be a shame for the whole story to trip on its own wires now. :3
