The Ultimate Organization III

Nulix woke up slowly, "Morning already..." He muttered, getting out of the filthy motel bed. The towns people were very kind, a free hotel, free food... hero worship... Nulix shrugged, "I guess I should see where the others are... Xane's still asleep, but Xardius and Wing are gone..."

 

Xardius slowly wandered around the town, trying to ignore the crowd of people following him, throwing stuff at him. Gifts, he thought. But they kept hitting his head.

 

"Mr. Muscles 2.0!" Nulix yelled, walking up to Xardius, a crowd of people around him. "Whats wrong man?" Nulix asked, "You don't like the people? You want them to get off just say it..."

Nulix turned to the people, "Hey ya'll... uh... can we be alone for a few hours... we have a good surprise for ya'll... so... yeah... bye."

The people slowly moved away, some of them at least. After a few quick seconds, most people had left completely, but some still stood nearby...

"So... Mr. Xd... whats going on? Whats happening?" Nulix asked...

 

"I read Lexx's book..." Xardius said. "It was...rather off...in many things...For example, it misproportioned our 'heroic deeds,' and downplayed all the destruction we'd caused, and blamed it all on Vecked, of all people. In fact, I'd say there are more pictures of Vecked than any other person in the book. All HD. Interesting, wouldn't you say?"

 

"Well... obviously anything Lexx spits out about us will be a lie," Nulix replied, "I mean... it's Lexx... he's watched all this through a computer screen while sipping on his frozen ice latte'... but, is it at least a good piece of fiction? Is he a decent author?" Nulix asked.

 

"Nah, it was really quite boring, actually..." Xardius said, handing Nulix the 600-page novel. "And it kind of left you with a 'so what?' feeling, more than anything else. I wouldn't have read it at all, except it got chucked at me, so I thought I should..."

 

"You, uh, seem to care more about the book's quality, than the content," Xane yawned, waking up.

 

"Damn man... two page 'about the author' section..." Nulix muttered, looking at the back of the book, "I'll give it back once I'm done... and Xane, quality is the most important aspect of the book... not the content."

 

"Before this breaks out into a full-scale argument," Xardius said. "I wanted to warn you guys that these people aren't exactly full on their rockers...Heroes or not, we should watch our backs."

 

"You think so, Xardius?" Nulix asked, "These people know they might die... we are a ray of light, a hope for change... these people need us more then ever... in my opinion..."

 

"And what happens if it doesn't work out exactly the way they fantasized it would?" Xardius asked. "What happens if we don't, quite, live up to the image they've created in their minds?"

He tapped his head. "People can get funny ideas, and I'm telling you...if we're not careful, things could get real messy, real fast. So just watch yourself, OK?"

 

"But the content is us," Xane said, before talking to Xardius. "Calm down. These people have been denied heroes for so long, this is probably the first time they've smiled in years."

The son of the village elder had awoken late after nearly an entire night of feasting. And why not? They were safe. THe Ultimate Organization was there....But one thing bothered him. His father had insisted that he take his early morning walk, as always. The UO members were asleep at this time. Knowing his father, he was probably going to talk with the leader of the Aurora Knights himself. Probably to show them the village wasn't afraid of them anymore. He only wished his father had taken some of the Ultimate Organization members with him.

 

Nulix smiled, "I agree Xane... anyway... what do you guys wanna do today?"

 

Xardius shrugged. "I dunno. I haven't done anything relaxing in a long time...I'll probably just go...repair something. You guys have fun."

He wandered off, looking for something that he could probably fix...

 

"I'll just go and talk to some village girls. Wanna join me?" Xane asked.

***

The elder's son grew restless. His father had not yet returned...

 

"I'm with Bella, man, you know that..." Nulix replied, "Weren't you with that girl who helped us against Hojan's empire and then went with us and stuff? Who was she again...?"

 

OOC: I'm gonna get kicked off in a sec, so I'll leave 30 seconds early, XD. See ya guys tomorrow...earlier, if you can. (Tonight was just way late for me. Stupid strobe light dodgeball...never again...)

 

"Yeah, but...I don't know what happened to Mellodia when we entered the dark worlds. She just kind of left the ship without saying a word, and I haven't seen her since..." Xane frowned.

 

"Think she died off in the wilderness?" Nulix asked, before sipping on his slushy... which he had with him the whole time...

 

Xane replied by punching Nulix on the shoulder.
