Adventure of Heroes: A Turn of Events

By Sean L. Johnson

In the town of Neichest, a distance away and behind the NH Medical Clinic, young wizard Donny has been left alone to battle one of the evil, revived Quinoragoras and two rogue cross-humans. Thankfully, his friend Max is also at the scene, looking over the injured Sally. Will Donny be able to escape this tense standoff while getting Max and Sally to safety?

Meanwhile, in the Namorant Dimension, something has caused the weather to go berserk on the planet Vrec. Authorities are bewildered, and the entire Damonarian Kingdom has no idea how to tackle this natural catastrophe. Prisoners’ cells have even been destroyed, and escaped criminals are wreaking havoc on those living nearby, while a rogue prince seeks help from a psychic friend but is thwarted at every turn.

Eight young heroes must now band together to defeat the revived Quinoragoras and discover what has caused such massive upheaval in the dimensions. First, though, they must fight each of their personal demons and find the strength to face this external threat.

Who would’ve known I would create this HUGE world! Every new place I visit inspires me to feel new and released from my childhood.

…PREVIOUSLY ON ADVENTURE OF HEROES, VOLUME I…

Wednesday, March 01st 2107

Donny was left alone to fight against Virgil, Mulor, and Akiru while Max was at the scene looking after an injured Sally. The four of them are having a stand-off.

Elsewhere, in the Namorant Dimension, on planet Vrec, Prince Zanari is running towards Crayos Forest.

He is on his way to travel to another dimension to seek help because of a threat that has taken over his home world three Earth hours prior.

Thirty minutes later…

As the lone Prince of planet Vrec makes his way towards Crayos Forest, he gets ambushed by a group of three marauders he defeated and had locked away a few years ago.

They attack him altogether.

Two middle-aged men, wearing loose-fitted rags, pounce out of bushes on Zanari’s right and three, much younger men, fall down from high trees. The prince raises his head to the tree branches and he’s tackled to the ground by the two men who were hiding in the bushes. The other three start pounding and stomping him repeatedly as Zanari’s shielding his face with his forearms.

He is quickly outmatched and getting beat!

Within a flash, an elderly witch (Itisa) and a wandering psychic friend (Crystalia) come to his rescue.

They teleport to the scene by a large puffball of white smoke. It starts dissolving into nothing as they’re running out of it.

Three minutes goes by…

After fending off Zanari’s enemies, Itisa instructs her former student to immediately go find help from warriors in the Isolated Dimension.

He was on his way the first time she told him, but now he has taken heavy hits and he’s suffering from his injuries. He cannot summon the strength to argue with her in any attempt to stay to help.

Zanari, once again, flees to Crayos Forest, as best he can, where he can locate a Transporter Relic in order to travel to the Isolated Dimension.

…The Scene Leaps Back To Three Earth Hours Prior…

Zanari’s home planet, Vrec, located in the Namorant Dimension, started experiencing unknown catastrophic events. The weather on his planet is disastrous!

There are high winds blowing through villages, unusual lightning is thundering down and striking at thirty minute intervals, and ravagers (criminals and low-life’s) are running wild.

The prison camps are being destroyed by earthquakes and the dangerous high winds. Prisoners, some of the most dangerous and skilled, have been freed from the destroyed camps just twenty miles outside the palace.

The rogue ravagers start making their way to nearby villages, miles away from the prison camps.

Some of these prisoners and rogue marauders sought out the most fearsome and dangerous creatures, releasing them (if they have to) to attack nearby villages.

The prisoners are attacking whomever they come across, slashing and gutting innocent men and women. Apparently they don’t see Vrec’s imminent danger.

These marauders don’t care what’s happening to their home planet.

Twenty minutes later, Prince Zanari’s father, King Oanayi, ordered his troops to lock down the kingdom until further notice. No one is allowed in or out; including a ten-mile distance to where the king’s palace ends. This means that their planet is in serious danger. Anyone outside the kingdom’s palace is without the King’s troop’s assistance and this includes the Vrecians – a race of human-like Homo sapiens who live above the planet’s core.

Five minutes later, as Zanari’s leaving the kingdom’s grounds, he noticed himself moving sluggishly on the dirt road. He stopped to look around, but he could not diagnose the problem. He carried on when he discovered what was happening outside the kingdom’s gates. The weather is exactly the same.

The creatures are out of control and the locals have no clue how to go about the situation they’re now facing.

One hour later…

Zanari reaches one of his mentors (a very close friend) hidden residence.

She urgently tells him she has no idea what is happening on the planet, but she’ll seek assistance from the Great Xeiar Wizards on planet Xeiar. She suggested that he go look for their Earth friend… wherever he might be at the time.

She stopped speaking, minutes later, turned her whole body around, and vanished. A puff of white-colored smoke is left behind.

The Prince walks on, leaving her home discreetly just in case wild ravagers might be in the area.

He decided to heed his mentor’s advice… to go find his Earth friend and goes in search for a Transporter Relic in order to travel to the Isolated Dimension with help from a Transporter Roon.

Ten minutes later nearing Crayos Forest…

ZANARI. Feeling guilty about leaving his friends and the people of planet Vrec behind to deal with these harsh conditions. Snap out of it! You’re a prince!! You needeth concern yourself with serious endeavors that others who have nothing to lose can deal with. You’re lucky to be royalty and have friends who got your back! He growls and shakes away his head. Go find help, Zanari.

…THE SCENE REVERTS TO THE PRESENT…

Two young, strong looking forest thieves see the prince in the forest alone. They notice his nice clothing and come out of hiding to kill him.

He starts fighting them off as best he can despite his current condition. He’s taking more injuries.

The injured Zanari picks himself off the ground, fallen down a few times seconds prior after being punched, and runs away.

Five minutes pass…

There’s a Transporter Relic randomly laying on the ground as he’s running towards it.

He gets closer to the weird object, as he’s running, and he leans his upper body to the ground and scoops it up.

The two forest thieves continue to pursue him. He can hear them trailing behind.

Ten seconds later…

ZANARI. Reaches a Transporter Roon and touches the Relic to the immovable Roon then he mutters a strange word under his breath. Quespri!

The two forest thieves lost their target so they continue running, hoping to find another stranger to rob and kill.

Zanari warps through the Transporter Roon, leading into a dark wind-tunnel and seconds later he lands on planet Earth – a great distance away from Niechest Town, Georgia.

ZANARI. He looks around and breathes heavily thanks to his injuries. Where are you? Pants. Ugh… He holds his ribs. Panting. Strangely… I can feel your presence… in this dimension. Exhales. Where are you?

All of a sudden, the beast inside of Zanari starts taking over his mind. His injuries has awoken the inner Damonarian beast in him.

ZANARI. NO! Nooooo!!!! Breathes out. Not again! His body is twitching and all the muscles in his body are tightening and enlarging. Please. NOOOOOOOO!!!! His voice trails off in a long drawn out echo.

His body starts to gain muscle mass as he’s beginning to transform into a monstrous beast that resembles slightly to a werewolf.

The transformation lasted no more than forty-five seconds.

Beast Zanari roars loud and runs off.

Zanari is the prince of the Damonarian race. His father rules planet Vrec, but only below the surface area. Those living just above the planet’s core are not subject to the King’s reign.

The King’s son is the only one, of his kind, to not have his animal side under control. His father thinks his son is a disgrace and will not let him take over the throne because of it.

When the Prince was much younger, he found a human warrior named Xanpo, wandering around his father’s kingdom grounds. The preteen Zanari, and his friends, went to attack Xanpo. After attacking him and leaving him to die, the human (also a pre-teen) persisted to stand and eventually made his way to the Damonarian Kingdom. He demanded entry at the huge gates, but the guards on duty wouldn’t open them.

Sometime later, the Prince was saved from being killed by three very treacherous Quinoragoras creatures. He repaid his debt to the human by introducing him to his teacher. The two teens trained together, but Xanpo was no Damonarian.

Crystalia is a psychic friend of Xanpo and Zanari. Her place of origin is in the Namorant Dimension, born and raised on planet Coroth. Her parents were peasants. They did not have much money nor did anyone else besides the royal family.

She has a nifty crystal ball she found at a young age. Sometime after, she discovered it contains a creature living inside. The creature cannot escape; the crystal ball is its permanent home. It’s where it was born. Crystalia doesn’t know how she stumbled upon such a rare item. Her crystal ball is alive, but no one knows it. It is a harmless secret that she believes her new friends does not need to know.

Crystalia was also trained by the Xeiar witch, Itisa. This is her only teacher. She learned how to manipulate time, see into the future, and she’s learned how to create shields out of pure energy. The shields have another ability. They can revive a fainted person. The shields can bring a person back from the dead, but this drains her life force. Itisa didn’t teach her that, but helped her nurture her ability.

The psychic young woman has told many people that she was born on planet Xeiar. She tells others that she has special and unique abilities than other Xeiar wizards and witches. No one questions her.

Itisa is a seventy-eight year old witch, born on planet Xeiar. She has an older twin sister who was born three hours before her. The elder witch and her twin carry the same traits and abilities; including, all types of wizardry from their home-world. Her specialty involves potion-making, creating elixirs, and healing spells. She’s skilled at combat, but she can avoid hand-to-hand when it’s unnecessary. For many years, she has trained a bunch of young warriors, including; witches, wizards, and oracles. Her top pupils are: Xanpo, Zanari, Magis, Crystalia, Niara, and others. She continues to be a mentor (and friend) to everyone she trained. Itisa calls many planets home in the Namorant Dimension. She switches homes quite often, staying on planet Coroth to planet Vrec when she feel she needs to be on that world and also to avoid confrontation with the Great Wizards of Xeiar. She has disagreements with their decision-making.

Meanwhile, on planet Earth…

Using a built-in jet pack system, Sab A.I. drops off Niara, NikoLee, and Saber in Curross Town, Georgia.

SABER. She runs over to Niara and NikoLee and helps her stand. Are you okay, Niara?! Can you walk?

NIARA. She is slightly injured and still feels her neck in pain when Red-Eye choked her. Y– Yes! Barely. I’ll be fine. Just need to rest somewhere.

SABER. I think I know a safe place.

NIARA. She thinks about last time. No!! I am not staying in another person’s home without their permission!

SABER. She laughs. Relax, I know. I’m sorry about that. But there are trees over there… She points out to her right. …and a small hideout no one knows about. She looks at Sab A.I. I think its best you change back for now.

Sab A.I. digitally transfers herself to Saber’s body armor. Saber leads Niara and NikoLee to the place she spoke of so they all can rest.

Meanwhile, Donny continues his standoff against Akiru, Mulor, and Virgil. Donny’s magical hands are prepared to shoot down one of them if they move an inch.

MULOR. What are you gonna do, wizard? He growls.

Donny watches Mulor more, hoping he moves first. Akiru watches Mulor closely and also stares at Donny. Virgil is thinking about making a move.

RED-EYE. He appears behind Donny. Well hello there, wizard.

DONNY. He becomes frightened and shouts a spell. Blitargo!!

Red-Eye quickly evades being blasted away by throwing out his arms. Akiru tries to grab Mulor but Mulor quickly teleports away. Virgil fades into the ground before he’s blasted away. Akiru is blasted backward and then he backflips back on the ground. Donny
