When we left the wall art dudes, Epic was standing over Moonie who had taken ill and fallen into the wall. Encicra had become suspicious of Epic and felt that he was somehow the cause of the disappearance of Fade and the unknown noob visitor, as well as his fallen comrade Moonie.

Encicra was holding a gun on Epic, but what was Encicra's plan for him, and would Moonie ever recover ... the plot thickens as the opening scene reveals that Epic is now missing, and Moonie recovers, but without his armor.

THE SAGA CONTINUES ...

As Moonie regained his strength, he worked his way out of the wall, only to discover not only that Encicra was comfortbly resting on the floor, but Epic was now missing and Moonie had recovered without his armor. As Moonie canvassed the Control Room for clues, Encicra remained on the floor, seemingly not bothered by the strange happenings that had taken place ...




Moonie was terribly concerned now that Epic was missing along with the others, and was also baffled that his armor was missing. Moonie told Encicra that he was going back into the wall to see if he could find Epic and the others, as well as his armor. Encicra said, "sure, but I think the asteroid dust in the walls did them in, so you better be careful."

Moonie turned and walked into the wall and wasn't sure what to expect, but he knew one thing, and that was he had to find Epic and his armor. He also knew he had to uncover the mystery of why people were disappearing.

After several minutes had passed without finding either Epic or his armor he decided to exit the wall once again to engage Encicra's help. Upon his exit from the wall, he was once again startled at his discovery ... he lost his clothing down to his underwear, boots and hat, and found Encicra had fallen into the wall clad only in HIS underwear ...




Moonie didn't know what to make of it all, but he knew that it would be difficult finding the others and his armor without Encicra's help. He activated his trusty Enknuckles knowing that others had no faith in its powers, but Moonie was determined to bring Encicra out of it in order to continue the search. Moonie focused and put every ounce of muscle into the power of the Enknuckles. At one point he thought he saw Encicra move but wasn't sure, so he continued to focus even harder ...




Finally, Encicra came to and was fully conscious but looking somewhat disoriented, and didn't realize that Moonie was present until Moonie asked him what happened ... "What the hell is going on in this Control Room Moonie said? This is totally bizarre! Tell me what happened Encicra, and why were you laying on the floor in the wall in only your underwear?"




Encicra, still disoriented, looked at Moonie with distant eyes and broke down. He said that all of a sudden he blacked out and was having weird dreams about being lost in space. It was apparent to Moonie that Encicra was quite overwhelmed when he burst into tears ...




All of a sudden, Encicra broke into a rage and started yelling at the top of his lungs that it wasn't fair that his friends were missing and that all of these strange things were happening to them. Moonie was so taken back by Encicra's rage that he clutched his chest in fear of what might happen next. As Moonie slid to the side still clutching his chest, Encicra continued his rage ...




Encicra's outburst continued for several minutes until he was so exhausted from the energy-laden rage that he fell forward as if to release the tension that had surged into every fiber of his being. Moonie felt more at ease now and took up a position to catch Encicra should he fall forward ...




Encicra finally collected himself and apologized for causing Moonie such concern. Moonie said he was glad that Encicra was ok now, but he wanted to get going with the search again for Epic and the others, as well as find his armor. Moonie started into the wall and asked Encicra if he would please help him in the search.




Encicra said "sure" as he stepped into the wall with his pistol raised, and ready to take on whatever they were to face. Moonie was happy to get the search underway again and gave them a 1-2-3 send-off into the wall ...




After an hour of searching to no avail, Encicra and Moonie exited the wall looking defeated.




The search had been exhausting, but Moonie wasn't willing to give up. He turned to Encicra as he half looked into the wall and said ... "we have to keep looking, I know they're in there, along with our armor. We have to find them before the asteroid dust destroys too many brain cells and renders them labotic retards" ...




Encicra placed his hands on his hips and turned away from Moonie as he said ... "I'm not sure there's anything we can do at this point. I think the damage is done and we just need to forget about it and go forward from here." Moonie wasn't having it and immediately went into a no-nonsense stance as he said to Encicra ... "look dude, our friends are missing, along with our armor, and there are strange things happening around here that are unexplainable. The least you could do is show some concern" ...

Moonie suddenly shifted into full mental focus and said ... "there IS something we could do Encicra ... get on our knees and pray to Lootius ... maybe we asked for too many golden sprinkles and we're being punished." Encicra flinched in fear as he seemingly looked into the great unknown where Lootius might be sitting upon his throne expecting penance from such selfish behavior.




While Moonie was asking forgiveness from Lootius for his selfish ways, he noticed that Encicra was ignoring the importance of admitting his faulty greed. Moonie showed sternness when he turned to Encicra and said ... "get on your knees and repent for your selfishness" ... Encicra had never seen Moonie so passionate about his relationship with Lootius, and while giving up perhaps just a little respect for the power of the almighty on high, he dropped to his knees ...




As Moonie raised his hand he said in a forceful voice ... "bow down and give praise to Lootius ... ask him to forgive your selfish ways." Encicra raised his arms from his kneeling position and looked up in the direction of what could be conceived the almighty throne, uttering something that Moonie couldn't quite understand ...




Convinced that Encicra had asked Lootius for forgiveness for his selfish ways (even though he couldn't understand his mutterings), Moonie turned to Encicra and said ... "let's try this again ... maybe Lootius will now light our way in search of our friends and armor." Encicra appeared to be onboard with the search as he approached the wall with pistol drawn. Moonie gave an almighty hail to Lootius before they disappeared into the wall ...




Moonie and Encicra split up inside the wall in search of their friends and armor, but after yet another hour of searching, there was no success. Moonie started for the wall as he knew that longer than an hour at one time he would be overcome by the asteroid dust and suffer irreversible brain damage. Upon exiting the wall, he found Encicra standing there scratching his ass ...




Moonie was trying to get a kink out of his back when he noticed that Encicra had taken a rather peculiar stance ...




The contortions on Encicra's face concerned Moonie, so he turned to him and asked what his problem was ... Encicra said ... "I think I overdosed on fiber and I've got some problems right now" ...




Moonie felt sorry for Encicra in his anguished state and offered some help. He said ... "try this stretching exercise, it helps loosen things up." Encicra in a strained voice said ... "I can't, the cramps are too bad right now" ...




As Moonie went into another stretching stance, Encicra stood and said ... "look dude, I'm tired of you thinking you have all the answers all the time, and it's time I did something about it" ...




As Moonie stood, he found Encicra's pistol in his face. Thinking that Encicra was kidding around, he said ... "put that thing away, we need to strategize about how we're going to continue this search." Encicra then let the cat outta the bag when he said ... "they aren't coming back dude, get over it." Moonie was not willing to give up so easily and told Encicra that he planned on continuing the search even if he had no intention of joining him.




Encicra said ... "you don't get it dude, do you?" Moonie said ... "what are you talking about, you're not making any sense." "Well let me make it clear for you then," Encicra said. It was I who masterminded the disappearance of Epic and the others, and it was I who caused your blackout at the wall. I took your armor once I stashed Epic in a secret air-controlled room behind the wall. He only has 30 minutes of air left and bye-bye."

Moonie didn't know what to make of it all as Encicra continued in his bold manner. "I faked the fall at the wall too, and took my own armor and clothes off ... whaddaya think of that, huh? And oh ya, did you really think I was prayin' to Lootius asking for forgiveness ... ya, right."

Moonie knew that he had to be quick on his feet if he was going to get outta this situation and rescue Epic before his air ran out. Moonie quickly engaged his plasma rifle in an effort to catch Encicra off guard ...




Encicra became temporarily disoriented as he did not expect Moonie to draw a weapon, let alone a more powerful one than his piddley pistol. While his finger slipped from the trigger as a result of sweat building up, Moonie took his shot ...

One blast and Encicra hit the floor ... even in death, Moonie noticed that Encicra had to think about posing while going down so that he looked good to the viewing public ...




Moonie knew that time was limited and he had to once again go in search of Epic and the others. He walked to the wall with confidence that he would succeed, and after engaging the powers of his Enknuckles to light his way, he set off to accomplish his mission.




Moonie had clearer thinking now, and he was more driven than ever before in his search. There was only 7 minutes left before Epic (and perhaps the others) would run out of air, so he searched feverishly for the secret room. With only 3 minutes left, he found a door to a room with odd lettering on it ... MOOR TERCES ... he was about to turn in another direction to continue his search when his keen instincts kicked in and realized that the lettering on the door seemed to be in some kind of code.

It was all clear to him now ... MOOR TERCES was "Secret Room" backwards, and knowing there was hardly any time left before the air would run out he grabbed ahold of the handle on the door and kicked his Enknuckles into high gear in an effort to electronically disengage the lock.

Finally, the lock gave way and Moonie was able to open the door. Inside he found Epic sitting on the floor exhaustively breathing. He didn't see any others and asked where they were. Epic said that Encicra told him that they escaped through one of the airlocks with oxygen tanks found inside the wall area but that he would hunt them down and take them out.

Moonie helped Epic to his feet and said they needed to get out of there before they suffered irreversible damage. As they moved slowly out of the room and toward the outer wall that would lead them back into the Control Room, Moonie saw his armor in the corner and stopped to put it on.

When they reached the outer wall, Epic was regaining his strength back again and was able to pass through the wall on his own ...




Epic thanked Moonie for not giving up and for persevering in his search to find him. As Epic walked toward the revival terminal to help enhance his recovery, he asked Moonie what happened to Encicra. As Moonie watched Epic walk off to the revival terminal, he said that they wouldn't be bothered by Encicra any more, and that he was afraid that he had to take him out when he pulled a pistol on him. But no sooner did Moonie get those words out of his mouth than this happened ... and here we thought it was only MOBs that spawned ...




The question now is ... is that Epic's laser dot we see on the wall? ... And if so ... what lies ahead in the continuing adventures of this dynamic trio of trials and tribulations ...

Really cool )

WOW.

That is a book lengthed story thread. lol. I was starting to have serious doubts whether we were ever going to see Epic again :O

Bad Encicra lol. gr8 story MS9

Rip

I hope I don't ruin the outcome by posting here. hehe

While I did almost suffer complete asphyxiation, I had gone back there to investigate the bathroom situation. Unfortunately, as Encirca later learned there was no "formal" place to get rid of my urges. Ewww.

The wrath of Encicra has only begun!

LMAO ...

You're not ruining anything my friend ... as I mentioned in Part 1 (I think), I never know what the true story will be until I start cruising through the pics. When spontaneous moments happen the camera shutter is in constant play ... I took 62 screenies with just that event in the Control Room but I'm certainly not going to be using them all.

It's the pics that build the storyline for me ... each pic is actually a mini-story of its own that inspires reviewing other pics to see what might fit into the developing storyline.

These storylines are truly a labor of love (and time-consuming) as writing is my absolute passion. If I could sit at this computer and get paid for just writing stories and entertaining the troops, I would be in a neverending state of bliss for sure. (*Don't worry Moonie, my time with you is blissful too Baby!)

And SPEAKING of Moonie ... he IS my greatest inspiration with regard to those off-the-wall spontaneous moments bcuz we spend the most time together ingame. I am forever laughing and workin' the abs when I'm with him ... and Jetboy for that matter ... the two of them keep me on the edge between sanity and total lunacy ... but I am NOT complaining ... it's a place I've grown immensely fond of.

Stay tuned for more fun ...

Yes indeed ... we just don't know what lurks in the back of that devious mind of yours that offers such twists and turns ... nor how Moonie and Epic will ban together to foil your attempts at such deviously-laden behavior.

However ... never underestimate the power of the "Blood Moon Super Enknuckles" in solving your cryptic messages, or getting in and out of places that you THINK you've closed up like Fort Knox. Epic has since upgraded his, so consider this fair warning ...

BTW ... how's the fiber issue?

Lol, nobody can stand up against Encicra's Orange Army!
