In a world called Anerth, magic flows all over the world. The year is 580C. Anerth is under attack by beings called Monsters. The only way to defeat them is by using magic. A guild named Dragon Prophets are the strongest guild in Anerth. None for defeating over 9 million Monsters and just keep going. So the day is January 5th, 580C, Thomas Smokenell finishes a job in Base Forest where a man was attacked by Monsters of the shape of a giant crab.

As soon as he got to the train, he asked, "Am I going to regret this partner?"

Phantom answered, "Yes you are Thomas?"

Phantom is a talking pet dragon that Thomas keeps by his side all the time. Phantom is a lot smaller than him, but is as strong as Thomas. They go to the same guild together as well.

Phantom said, "You're motion sickness will kick your ass."

Thomas said, "Before we go, did we get paid for defeating the Giant Crabs?"

Phantom took out the money and said, "We got paid. Stop buying time. The train is here."

Thomas said, "It's safer if we just walked home."

Thomas started walking away and Phantom saw that and grabbed his head with his claw and turned him around and made him walk into the train and they sat down and Thomas said, "Don't be so pushy."

Phantom said, "You were about to walk home. That would take you 3 whole days to do. By train, less than a day. Plus, you're known as the Destroyer of Worlds."

Thomas said, "Seriously. That's what they call me."

Phantom said, "Yep. That's what they call you."

Thomas sighed and then the train took off to Havenhedge.

Thomas laid back and said, "I feel like I'm going to be sick."

Phantom laughed and Thomas said, "This isn't funny dammit. If you were a Monster Slayer, you would be like this as well."

Phantom laughed at him and waited for the train to stop. While the train was moving, in the town Havenhedge, a group of girls surrounded a man that called himself the Destroyer of Worlds. But was a fake.

The train stopped after that and Phantom grabbed Thomas and carried him off of the train and said, "Stand up."

Thomas did and walked like a zombie and asked, "Are we off of the train?"

Phantom answered, "Yes we are. You can open your eyes now."

Thomas opened them slowly and asked, "Where are we?"

Phantom answered, "Havenhedge. The home of our guild."

Thomas said, "We're home, finally."

They started running through town looking for the guild building and Phantom asked, "Do you even know where you're going?"

Thomas answered, "Nope. I have no sense of direction, I think."

He heard a large crowd of people screaming out Destroyer of Worlds and Thomas heard that and Phantom asked, "Who would be screaming your name out?"

Thomas said, "My name is Thomas Smokenell. Not Destroyer of Worlds. But let's check it out though."

Phantom said, "Yessir."

They walked to the crowd of people and then teleported in front of him and said, "Destroyer of Worlds. Show me your true power."

The man smiled and punched the ground and it started to rumble and Thomas laughed and Phantom said, "Thomas, you shouldn't be laughing. You're mocking him."

Thomas said, "He's an imposter from the real Destroyer of Worlds. He can't even damage the ground with one hit. By the way, what guild are you from?"

The man answered, "Dragon Prophets."

Thomas punched the ground and it exploded and Thomas said, "Say it one more time."

The man said, "Dragon Prophets."

Phantom said, "Thomas, don't piss him off now."

Thomas said, "Attack me."

The man asked, "Why should Bart O'Neal attack you?"

Thomas smiled and answered, "Because I'm the real Destroyer of Worlds."

Everyone stared at him and saw the crest mark of Dragon Prophets and said, "It's the real deal."

They started screaming and then Sherry Henson looked at the bridge and Thomas smiled and Bart swung at him and hit him in the face and said, "Explode."

Thomas's face exploded and Sherry saw that and ran down there and asked, "What's going on?"

A girl answered, "There was a imposter for who the real Destroyer of Worlds is. And this is a fight to prove that fact."

Sherry said, "Really."

The smoke disappeared and Thomas stood there with a mask on his head and Bart saw that and continued to punch him and 20 punches later, he said, "Explode."

Thomas blew up again and Thomas opened his mouth and started breathing in the smoke and everyone saw that and Phantom said, "He's actually breathing the smoke in."

Sherry said, "Impossible."

Bart said, "You damn Monster Slayer."

Thomas said, "It's my turn."

Bart heard that and Thomas uppercutted him and Bart flew up and then Thomas appeared above him and put his feet on his head and said, "Fall."

They disappeared and a bigass explosion happened on the ground and everyone saw that and screamed and Thomas walked away and then stopped and breathed in all of the smoke again and everyone saw that Thomas Smokenell was still standing. A shirtless, 6 foot tall man. Long straight dark purple hair. Dumb as hell.

And Sherry fell in love with him and Bart put his thumbs up and then it fell down and Thomas said, "Oh well. I went a little overboard. I have to go back to Dragon Prophets now."

Sherry heard that and Thomas walked away and Phantom said, "He doesn't have much time to talk now. The guards are on their way here. So you might want to get out of here everyone."

Everyone started walking away and Sherry followed Thomas and Thomas sighed and said, "You want to join the guild right, magic girl."

Sherry answered, "Yes I do. I've been wanting to join since I was a little kid."

Thomas smiled and said, "Come with me then. I'll take you to the guild. But if they ask you who brought you in, don't mention my name at all."

Sherry asked, "Why not?"

Phantom answered, "He's known for attacking all of the newbies. The master hates it, but we only take the strong willing fighters. Do you fit those requirements?"

Sherry answered, "I might."

Thomas laughed and the guards appeared and Phantom said, "They're here."

Thomas grabbed her hand and started running and Phantom saw that and her jaw dropped and the guards yelled, "Wait up. Stop right there."

Thomas said, "Dragon Prophets welcome you to the guild."

Sherry smiled and Phantom yelled, "Stop getting friendly. You're being chased by the government."

Thomas said, "And. They can go to hell. But I'm not the one that's going to send them to hell though."

Phantom said, "Don't mind him. He doesn't have a brain. And you're taking us the wrong way again."

Thomas said, "If you think that I'm going the wrong way, then you lead us to the guild."

Phantom said, "I will."

Phantom grabbed Thomas's head along with Sherry's head and flew up and Thomas said, "She makes everything seem so easy. And she's always right. I do have a terrible sense of direction."

Sherry said, "I could tell."

Phantom smiled and flew toward the guild and she let go of Thomas and Thomas saw that and said, "Huh. Huh. Huh."

Sherry asked, "Why'd you drop him?"

Phantom answered, "He's getting on my nerves."

Sherry asked, "Why are you partnered up with him then?"

Phantom answered, "He raised me."

Thomas flew to the ground and his head hit the ground first and the ground exploded and Phantom landed and Sherry asked, "Will he be ok?"

Phantom grabbed him and Sherry pushed the doors open and Phantom flew in and Sherry walked in and August Koch said, "Look at that, you knocked Thomas out. Master, she knocked Thomas out."

The guild master, Skylar Gilbert walked out of her office and looked at him and said, "Thomas, open your eyes."

Thomas did and said, "Man, you had to drop me Phantom."

Phantom said, "See, I told you that he was going to be fine."

Sherry asked, "How did you survive that?"

Thomas answered, "You heard the crowd. I'm the Destroyer of Worlds."

August said, "Pussy of Worlds."

Thomas stood up and flew toward him and August said, "Ice Arrows."

Arrows made out of ice appeared and fire magic appeared and August saw that and Thomas swung at him and then Skylar appeared and Thomas saw that and jumped over her and August and landed on his feet and Skylar said, "Enough Thomas. Call him another name and you'll feel my wrath. Thomas felt it more than anyone else here."

Sherry heard that and asked, "Are you that strong?"

Thomas answered, "She's a monster."

August said, "She's a demon."

Skylar said, "I'm the 3rd guild master of Dragon Prophets. It's nice to meet you. Who brought you here?"

Thomas started giving her movements saying not to include him in this and Sherry answered, "Him."

Thomas saw that and Skylar said, "Thomas did eh."

Thomas said, "You backstabbing bitch."

Skylar grabbed Thomas's head and started slamming him into the ground and Thomas asked, "Why me?"

Skylar answered, "You brought a girl that was prettier than me."

August heard that and Thomas said, "She was following me. I would have killed her, but I'm not that mean. Plus, someone was trying to use my name to get the guild in trouble. I think his name was Kat Fink."

Phantom said, "You can't even remember his name. It's Bart O'Neal."

Thomas said, "What she said."

Sherry said, "Bart O'Neal is the guild master of Sexy Pirates. A well-known guild of using other people to do criminal deeds."

Skylar said, "But she's smarter than me too."

She continued to slam him into the ground and August saw that and said, "Calm down master."

Melissa Weber walked over to her and said, "Sorry about that, I'm Melissa Weber. But call me Melissa. I'm the bartender here."

Sherry said, "I'm Sherry Henson. I wish to join here."

Skylar heard that and let go of Thomas and Thomas laid there and played dead and Skylar said, "Welcome to Dragon Prophets. I'm glad to have you here. Am I right Thomas."

Thomas put his thumbs up and then they fell down and his head moved like he was dead and August yelled, "You killed him."

August ran toward him and Thomas smiled and August checked if he was breathing and noticed that there was no pulse and that was because he stopped everything from working in his body and August started to give him CPR and as soon as he kissed him, Thomas felt that and punched him and yelled, "I'm not gay dumbass."

August flew into the ceiling and Skylar laughed and said, "That's my boy."

Thomas stared at the ceiling and asked, "Do I have permission to beat him up?"

Skylar answered, "No you don't."

Thomas heard that and said, "OK."

Melissa asked, "Would you like a drink to get rid of the feeling of the kiss?"

Thomas said, "I'm going to have nightmares now."

Everyone started laughing and Thomas stood up and said, "Yeah, I'll take a drink."

Thomas sat down and waited.

As soon as the drink came, Thomas drank it as fast as possible and then wiped his mouth and then put his head down and Phantom yelled, "What did you put in the drink?"

Melissa answered, "Sleeping Magic. Was I not supposed to?"

Phantom answered, "No. He said that he was going to have nightmares. Now he'll be up all night, scared for his life."

Skylar said, "You did the right thing. He needs his rest. He just finished a job."

Melissa said, "See. She agrees with me."

Skylar drank out of the same mug and she passed out as well and her head was on top of Thomas's head and Melissa asked, "Phantom, did you switch the mugs?"

Phantom answered, "Nope. Did you?"

Melissa answered, "Nope."

Ryan Peterson laughed and asked, "Was I not supposed to switch the mugs?"

They yelled, "No. It had Sleeping Magic in it."

Ryan laughed and said, "Oh, good for them then. They'll be asleep for a while."

Phantom yelled, "You idiot. Now they'll both be having nightmares."

Ryan heard that and said, "It's totally not my fault."

Melissa said, "Yes it is. You put the master to sleep."

Ryan heard that and turned her over and then put her back and said, "She's going to kill us."

Melissa said, "You're right. Thomas was already half dead."

Sherry said, "You people are truly insane."

Melissa said, "Where do you want the guild crest?"

Sherry answered, "My left arm."

Melissa took the stamp out and stamped her left arm and said, "Get some sleep Sherry. Come back tomorrow. You'll be fine. We don't bite. Only Thomas does the biting. But did he really bring you here?"

Sherry answered, "Yes he did. Is that really a surprise?"

Phantom answered, "Yes it is. Thomas would never let anyone join in the guild. Every time someone asked to join, he would beat the shit out of him/her and then walk away. Even if you were a girl, he would attack you. He has no feelings about the human race. He only wants the world to be happy. That's all he wants. Oh, and to find his father."

Melissa said, "Yep, he disappeared 20 years ago and Thomas never found him yet. He's a dragon. A badass fire dragon. You don't want to know the rest of his past."

Sherry heard that and said, "Well, I'll see you tomorrow."

She walked away and then they said, "See you tomorrow."

Melissa said, "Let's put them on the bed together."

Phantom said, "Yep."

Melissa lifted Skylar up and Phantom lifted Thomas up and they walked up to Skylar's room and put them on the same bed and walked out of the room and closed the door. And everyone waited for them to wake up.

2: Thomas and Skylar's Dream

While Thomas and Skylar were asleep because of the sleeping magic, Thomas and Skylar started to have the same dream.

Thomas walked toward the guild in the morning to find it surrounded by naked men and Thomas asked, “What the hell happened here?”

All of the women of the guild appeared and answered, “It seems that this is a naked male apocalypse. It’s pretty sad. As soon as the naked men touch you, you turn into one. Even if you’re a girl, you turn into one.”

Thomas said, “I hope that August didn’t turn into one. He’s ugly enough.”

Phantom laughed and said, “He’s in our new hideout.”

Thomas heard that and said, “New hideout.”

Skylar said, “Yep. It seems that if you even touch them, you turn as well. So everyone with close combat attacks are hiding. And all of the ones that and ranged attacks, are out hunting them.”

Thomas said, “This is like the zombie apocalypse. But in a very disturbing way.”

Melissa said, “You’re right about that Thomas. Let’s go to the base now. We’ve also been taking in civilians that haven’t turned yet.”

Sherry said, “You look like you’re about to throw up Thomas.”

Thomas turned around and said, “Shut up.”

The naked men heard that and turned around and Thomas sensed that they were running and Thomas said, “We could run now right.”

Skylar nodded and said, “Run for your life.”

Everyone started running and the naked men were moaning and Thomas said, “This sucks.”

Audrey Gates smiled and Thomas said, “I’m going to miss that place.”

Melissa said, “Don’t worry Thomas. We’ll get the guild back to normal. Plus, you’ve been gone for 5 years. You really have changed.”

Thomas said, “And you guys look exactly the same.”

Skylar said, “That is true. Phantom got older too.”

Phantom said, “And a little bigger too. And now I could transform into a human.”

Rebecca Turner said, “Really.”

Thomas said, “Show them. But make sure that you’re running though.”

Phantom smiled and then pounded her chest twice and then transformed into a human and she had dragon horns on her head, dragon ears and a dragon’s tail on her back and she was running and they said, “Amazing.”

Skylar said, “Thomas, she’s even prettier than me. You know what’s about to happen to you.”

Phantom said, “He didn’t ask me to be this pretty. I did this on my own accord. Plus, Thomas doesn’t give a damn about women remember.”

Skylar heard that and said, “Yeah.”

Thomas said, “Now that’s a little harsh Phantom. But I have one question, what’ll happen if I destroy the road so they wouldn’t follow us?”

Everyone heard that and said, “I don’t know. We never tried to do that.”

Thomas turned around and punched the ground and yelled, “Nuclear.”

The ground started shaking and all of the naked men started falling and then everyone running lost balance and collapsed as well and Thomas turned around and lifted everyone up and said, “Let’s go. We can’t waste time. This is only going to buy us time for awhile. They’ll find a way to get to us I believe.”

Skylar asked, “When did you get a brain?”

Phantom answered, “That was part of his training for 5 years. He wanted to have a sense of direction because every time we went somewhere, he would get lost and I would have to get him everywhere. He didn’t want that anymore.”

Thomas heard that and said, “You weren’t supposed to mention that.” Phantom heard that and said, “Whoops.”

Skylar said, “Now I’m seriously going to kick your ass. Plus, is Nuclear a new ability that you learned.”

Thomas said, “Yep. I learned one more, but I don’t want to destroy the town in the process. It’s called Atomic.”

They said, “Like an Atomic Bomb.”

Thomas said, “Yep. We were on the island Faak Ait. Phantom and I destroyed the entire island. By accident.”

Skylar said, “You literally can’t control yourself.”

Thomas sighed and Kimberley Newton said, “Of course he can’t. He’s the same as always there.”

Thomas said, “Shut up and run already.”

Everyone did and then saw that they weren’t moving and Thomas asked, “Did I kill them?”

Phantom said, “Yep.”

Thomas said, “This world really is cruel.”

Skylar said, “You killed some of the guildmates idiot.”

Thomas said, “They are already dead. You can kill me later. But at least I could throw up now.”

Thomas stopped and went to the building and started throwing up and Phantom saw that and said, “Get going. I’ll get him to the new hideout.”

Olga Gibbs asked, “Do you even know where it is?”

Phantom answered, “Nope. But I could smell you.”

They said, “OK. Meet you there.”

The naked men started to stand up and Phantom said, “They were alive.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Damn this world is awful. I wonder if the King of Anerth is a naked man.”

Phantom heard that and said, “Stop worrying about that. Just hurry up and finish throwing up already.”

Thomas said, “You really are pushy. That never changes.”

Phantom said, “You really are an idiot.”

Thomas smiled and they started coming over the gap that Thomas made and Phantom said, “They jumped over the gap.”

Thomas said, “These aren’t zombies at all. This is Hell.”

He stood up and said, “Let’s get the hell out of here.”

Phantom said, “I agree.”

Thomas asked, “How do we defeat them without killing them? That’s the real question.”

Phantom answered, “You’re right. We need to figure that out. 5 years of training will kill them.”

Thomas said, “This really sucks. Is this how everything is going down. We’ll have to take them out.”

Phantom said, “Wait. You can create anything with that pen of yours right.”

Thomas answered, “Yeah. What about it?”

Phantom answered, “You could make a wooden sword and swing at them right.”

Thomas heard that and then out of nowhere, a huge group from the North and South appeared and moaned at them and they said, “Ambush.”

Thomas said, “This is how we’re going to play this. I’ll take out the guys from behind and you take out the guys in front of us.”

Phantom said, “I could handle that.”

3: The Ambush

Thomas asked, “How do we defeat them without killing them? That’s the real question.”

Phantom answered, “You’re right. We need to figure that out. 5 years of training will kill them.”

Thomas said, “This really sucks. Is this how everything is going down. We’ll have to take them out.”

Phantom said, “Wait. You can create anything with that pen of yours right.”

Thomas answered, “Yeah. What about it?”

Phantom answered, “You could make a wooden sword and swing at them right.”

Thomas heard that and then out of nowhere, a huge group from the North and South appeared and moaned at them and they said, “Ambush.”

Thomas said, “This is how we’re going to play this. I’ll take out the guys from behind and you take out the guys in front of us.”

Phantom said, “I could handle that.”

Thomas took out 2 pens and said, “Sleeping Magic Gun.”

The 2 pens turned into Sleeping Magic Guns and Thomas handed Phantom 1 and he took the other and Thomas said, “Shoot them in the heart. These guys are like zombies. You shoot them in the head, you’ll kill them. So the heart, or any other part of the body except for the head. So aim carefully.”

Phantom said, “Understood.”

They started aiming at the naked men and then Thomas shot at the one that was closest to him and hit his leg and then he fell and turned into a girl and Thomas laughed and said, “Do it. They’ll turn back into a human. Shoot them. I’ll call the boss.”

Phantom said, “Sure thing partner.”

They started shooting and Thomas called Skylar and Skylar asked, “What is it?”

Thomas answered, “I figured out how to turn them back into humans.”

Skylar heard that and asked, “How?”

Thomas answered, “Shoot Sleeping Magic at them. But don’t hit them in the head. These things can jump as well. You remember that hole that I made in the ground.”

Skylar answered, “Yeah, what about it?”

Thomas answered, “The naked men jumped over it. The only way to turn them back is to shoot them anywhere but the head with Sleeping Magic.”

Skylar said, “Understood. I’ll tell everyone.”

Thomas said, “Good. See you in Hell everyone.”

Thomas stared at them and Phantom said, “They just keep coming Thomas.”

Thomas yelled, “Don’t give up. I will not turn into one of these perverts. Neither will you. Keep firing.”

Skylar heard that and said, “Hang in there Thomas.”

Thomas said, “You don’t have to tell me that. I know that we need to hang in there. Just tell everyone and get your asses over here. We’re surrounded.”

Skylar said, “Understood.”

She hung up on him and Sherry asked, “Who was it?”

Skylar answered, “Thomas, he found the cure to bring them back.”

Regina Douglas asked, “How did he do that?”

Skylar answered, “Sleeping Magic. You need to shoot them anywhere except the head. Don’t aim for the head.”

Regina said, “Sure thing.”

Regina aimed at the one in front of them and shot him in the leg and he fell and turned back into his regular self and said, “Damn, he was right.”

Skylar yelled, “We win yet again. But Thomas is way too smart.”

Everyone in the hideout heard that and said, “How do we stop them?”

They answered, “Sleeping Magic.”

The King of Anerth, Alex E. Anerth said, “OK. Sleeping Magic is my specialty. So don’t aim for the head right.”

Skylar heard that and said, “Yep. When did the King of Anerth get here.”

August answered, “2 days ago.”

Skylar said, “Oh, I didn’t know that.”

Regina laughed and said, “Oh well. All Sleeping Magic members, follow me. We’re going into the town and we’re going to save it from disaster.”

Everyone started cheering and ran out and started attacking all of the naked men and Thomas smiled and said, “This is a fun way to die.”

Phantom said, “Together.”

The buildings started to shatter and the naked men started running toward them and Thomas saw that and grinned and they attacked them and Thomas turned into a naked man along with Phantom and they roared like a dragon and Alex heard that and said, “That’s not good.”

Regina saw the huge group and then the tallest 2 stood up and Regina yelled, “Shoot them now.”

The 2 huge naked men shoved everyone out of the way and walked toward them and Alex stared at them and said, “Those 2 aren’t human. They’re monsters.”

Regina said, “It can’t be. Thomas and Phantom.”

1 of them aimed and started shooting at random and everyone ran behind a building and started aiming for them and the Sleeping Magic hit them, but they didn’t fall or turn back into their regular selves.

Margaret B. Shields asked, “What are we going to do? Those 2 are insane.”

Alex said, “Call someone.”

Regina grinned and then aimed for there head and hit them and then they fell backwards and the others ran toward them and Alex said, “Good enough. Fight till we all die.”

Margaret asked, “Are you sure that you want to be here sir? Your wife will be sad.”

Alex answered, “I know that Margaret. But the world needs all of the Sleeping Magic users. So I have to join in on the fun.”

Regina said, “Well said sir. Thomas would have said the same thing. But it seems that he’s laying down over there.”

The 2 big guys sat up and roared and they all ran toward them and Regina said, “Aim for there bodies now.”

Everyone started shooting at the small ones and then the 2 big ones stood up and watched everyone turn back into humans and started running away and Alex said, “They are running away.”

Regina asked, “What’s going on here?”

Everyone stared at the 2 big guys and they started shooting at them and they jumped over the buildings and everyone started running to the other side and continued shooting at them and the one on the right turned around and then the one on the left collapsed and turned into a human and Phantom it was and Alex said, “We saved one.”

4: Thomas as a Naked Man vs. Sleeping Magic

Everyone started shooting at the small ones and then the 2 big ones stood up and watched everyone turn back into humans and started running away and Alex said, “They are running away.”

Regina asked, “What’s going on here?”

Everyone stared at the 2 big guys and they started shooting at them and they jumped over the buildings and everyone started running to the other side and continued shooting at them and the one on the right turned around and then the one on the left collapsed and turned into a human and Phantom it was and Alex said, “We saved one.”

Regina said, “Only if that was Thomas. I would have been happy.”

Margaret said, “It seems that there backs are there weakness.”

Louis Morris said, “Margaret has a point. It seems that the other big one realized that and Phantom didn’t.”

Alex said, “It’s gotta be Thomas.”

The other one ran toward them and roared and Phantom woke up immediately and took the Sleeping Magic Gun out of her pocket and Alex saw that and said, “It seems that she woke up.”

The other big guy saw that and went sideways and Phantom said, “Come to your senses Thomas.”

The other big guy roared and continued sliding over toward the huge group and Phantom appeared behind him and started shooting at him and the big guy started roaring and then jumped over the building and everyone started running to the other side and then he appeared breaking through the building and everyone flew into the other building and Phantom saw that and said, “He’s way too smart.”

Margaret asked, “How in the world are we going to stop him?”

Phantom yelled, “Over here. Follow me.”

Phantom started running and the big guy followed her and didn’t pay attention to the others because he thinks that they are dead.

So he followed her and Phantom yelled, “Wake up Thomas. I know that you can here me.”

The big guy roared and swung at her and Phantom jumped over his arm and Alex stood up and walked out of the debris and hid behind the building shooting at his back and then Regina appeared and helped him out and Thomas felt the magic and screamed and Phantom said, “That’s it Thomas. Remember me now.”

The big guy stopped moving and Phantom said, “Don’t stop. What are you doing? Don’t stop dammit.”

The big guy turned his head and smiled and Alex saw the smile and the big guy collapsed and turned into Thomas and Phantom saw that and said, “Thomas, hang in there man.”

Phantom turned him over and his eyes were closed and Alex asked, “Did we save him?”

Regina yelled, “Did we get him?”

Phantom put her thumbs up and everyone started cheering and Phantom yelled, “We’re not done yet. They are still coming.”

Regina heard that and said, “Don’t stop the assault. We’re bringing Thomas home.”

Phantom lifted him up and everyone behind the building ran toward them and Phantom continued shooting them and they ran to the hideout and Phantom put Thomas down and Skylar saw that and August said, “Ha, he turned into a naked man.”

Alex said, “They turned into something a lot worse than a naked man.”

Ryan said, “Something a lot worse than a naked man.”

Regina answered, “Yep. 2 monsters 3 times the size of a naked man able to use a Sleeping Magic Gun. And crazy strength as well.”

Phantom said, “You ladies took too long.”

Alex said, “Now that’s a bit harsh ma’am. I’m not a girl.”

Phantom said, “Ah, the King is here.”

Skylar said, “I had the same reaction.”

Phantom said, “Thomas would be happy when he wakes up.”

Skylar picked Thomas up and brought him to the bed and slept with him and the next morning, Thomas woke up seeing Skylar next to him and yelled, “What? I slept with the master.”

Everyone heard that and laughed and Alex said, “Thomas, you truly are a monster.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Eh, it’s Alex. Wait, you’re the King of Anerth now right.”

Alex said, “Yep. It's been a while. You know that I missed you man.”

Thomas said, “No you didn’t. 5 years of hard work. I trained for this day.”

Alex smiled and Skylar woke up and said, “I’m awake.”

Thomas heard that and Skylar said, “Good morning Thomas.”

Thomas said, “She woke up.”

Skylar kissed him and then woke up in real life and looked around and asked, “Where am I?”

He saw something moving inside the blanket and Thomas said, “I’m not moving.”

Skylar was and Thomas took the covers off of her and saw her and then put the covers back on and then got off of the bed and walked to the door and tried opening the door and it was locked and Thomas said, “The door is locked. And the only person that has the key is Melissa.”

Margaret said, “I just remembered that you locked the door.”

Melissa said, “Yes I did.”

Phantom said, “You really are trying to kill him.”

Melissa said, “Not at all. While Thomas was gone for the 2 years that he was gone, she was always thinking of him. She missed him more than you think.”

August said, “No one likes Thomas.”

Phantom said, “That’s not true.”

Skylar woke up and asked, “Why am I sleeping?”

Thomas heard that and said, “She woke up.”

Skylar looked around and saw Thomas standing by the door and Thomas said, “Open the door Melissa.”

Skylar said, “So this is your doing.”

Thomas said, “I just woke up too. I don’t know what happened. Melissa offered me a drink and then I wake up here.”

Skylar said, “She offered me a drink as well. So this isn’t your doing.”

Thomas said, “Not at all. Open the door Melissa.”

Skylar stood up and said, “That was a weird dream that I had. It was about these naked men taking over the world and you were 5 years stronger than you were today.”

Thomas said, “I had the same dream.”

Skylar heard that and walked toward Thomas and Thomas said, “Open the door Melissa.”

Skylar asked, “Why does she have to open the door? We should get closer Thomas.”

Thomas asked, “What are you talking about?”

Skylar answered, “I’ve been waiting for you to come back Thomas.”

Thomas yelled, “Get me out of here. She’s scaring me.”

August heard that and asked, “What is he talking about?”

Everyone smiled and Skylar grabbed Thomas and slammed him into the door and busted it down and Thomas flew away and Melissa saw that and Thomas hit the other side and exploded and then fell down and laid there and Skylar said, “Oh, I didn’t mean to do that Thomas.”

Thomas laid there on the ground and said, “It wasn’t a dream. She really did get stronger.”

Phantom asked, “What are you talking about Thomas? You were only asleep for a day.”

Thomas heard that and said, “Oh, it was a dream. Thank you lord. She’s insane.”

Thomas closed his eyes and August laughed and said, “You killed him.”

Skylar said, “That was an amazing dream. He turned out to be quite the badass.”

Melissa asked, “Did you get what you were after?”

Sherry appeared and saw Thomas laying there on the ground and asked, “What happened here?”

Skylar answered, “No I didn’t. I didn’t get to kiss him.”

Thomas said, “I will not kiss you.”

Skylar asked, “Why not?”

Thomas answered, “I feel like that the dream came real.”

Skylar said, “It did.”

Thomas said, “Save me.”

Phantom asked, “What is this dream?”

Thomas punched the ground and shot himself back up and Thomas saw that and Skylar said, “See.”

Thomas said, “Master, I hate it when you’re right.”

Phantom asked, “What type of dream is it?”

Thomas answered, “A zombie apocalypse.”

Thomas walked over to Phantom and whispered, “Could you transform into a human?”

Phantom answered, “No I can’t. Why do you ask?”

Thomas answered, “Just wondering.”

Thomas started running away and yelled, “Send me to Hell.”

Skylar heard that and said, “He’s really dumb.”

5: Ted Ball's Father is Missing

2 days after that incident, Thomas appears back in the guild building and Melissa saw that Thomas was down and asked, "What's wrong Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "The strength from the dream is real."

Phantom asked, "How strong was it?"

Thomas answered, "It was the power to destroy an island called Faak Ait. I called it Atomic. Then I also created a technique called Nuclear. Even more damage. I'm quite depressed now."

Sherry said, "That's cool."

Thomas yelled, "That ain't cool. The dream took place 5 years after today. 5 years of destruction."

Skylar said, "He was training while the world went to hell."

August said, "I think that Thomas was the cause of the zombie apocalypse."

Skylar said, "It's a possibility."

Thomas said, "Please stop being such an ass."

Skylar said, "I missed you Thomas."

Thomas said, "Huh. You did. Good to know. Wait a minute, it's only been 2 days."

Skylar said, "Yeah, your point."

Thomas answered, "How could you miss me when I was only gone for 2 days? That's my bloody point."

Skylar said, "That's not a point at all."

Melissa said, "She missed you for those 2 years that you were gone as well."

Thomas said, "Well, I was fighting an army of giant crabs. It was quite fun."

Ted Ball runs in and asked, "Has my dad come back yet?"

Thomas heard that and walked in front of him and asked, "Why would he be gone?"

Ted answered, "He went on a job and hasn't come back yet."

Thomas heard that and said, "What type of job was it?"

Sherry heard that and Skylar looked at Thomas and Ted answered, "It was to defeat 20 Ice Monsters."

Thomas said, "You're right, he should have been here by now. OK little boy, who are you again?"

Ted asked, "How'd you forget that?"

Thomas answered, "I don't know. Name please."

Ted said, "Ted Ball."

Thomas said, "Jeff Ball's son. There's no need to cry. I'll bring your old man back."

Ted hugged him and Thomas hugged him back and said, "But that also means that he has to pay me."

Ted heard that and said, "You really are funny."

Thomas said, "I'm just messing with you. Let's go Phantom. It's time to have some fun."

Phantom said, "Fun is good."

Thomas smiled and Skylar watched them leave and said, "I don't believe it. He's actually doing something about it."

Ted asked, "What's wrong with that?"

Thomas answered, "I don't help people. I injure them. But if you want your father back, I'll give him back in good condition. Unless if he has injuries already without me doing a thing. So, don't worry about a thing Ted. I'll free your father."

Thomas walked away and Sherry walked out and Skylar saw that and Melissa said, "Damn."

Thomas smiled and asked, "Would you like to join us Sherry?"

Sherry answered, "Yes I would."

Thomas said, "OK then. Let's go then."

Skylar started crying and said, "I want to be partners with him."

Ted said, "You and him would cause destruction all over the world."

Melissa said, "Ted has a point. You and him would always be fighting."

Skylar said, "That doesn't mean a thing."

Ted said, "You'll just get in trouble."

Skylar heard that and said, "OK. You have a point there."

Sherry took out a key and said, "Magic Car."

A Magic Car appeared and grabbed Thomas and put him inside of the car and Phantom saw that and said, "He has motion sickness."

Thomas said, "Let me out of here."

Sherry entered the car and the Magic Car took off and Phantom flew after the car and the 2 of them said, "I think that I'm going to be sick."

They laid back and Thomas said, "You're a Monster Slayer too."

Sherry said, "Yep, I was raised by Avantador, The Eternal."

Thomas said, "Nice."

The car said, "It seems that you like him Sherry."

Sherry heard that and said, "I never said that I did."

Thomas heard that and asked, "Why is every girl falling in love with me."

Phantom answered, "You're quite popular Thomas."

Thomas said, "That is true too."

Sherry said, "I really hate this motion sickness man. Even though I'm used to it. I just bloody hate it."

Thomas smiled and said, "I'm with you there."

The Magic Car drove to the Icy Mountains and then stopped and opened the car door and shoved Thomas out and Thomas started to stand up and Phantom grabbed him and Thomas stood up and said, "Thank you Phantom."

Phantom said, "No problem. His job was here."

Sherry said, "Close the door please. It's freezing out there."

The Magic Car said, "I can't drive in this weather. That's why I stopped. Which also means you have to walk with them."

Sherry said, "Damn you."

The Magic Car disappeared and Thomas created a jacket for her and handed it to her and said, "There you go. It'll make you warm for a while."

Sherry said, "Thank you very much."

Thomas said, "No problem."

6: They're Attacked by 20 Ice Vulgars

Sherry said, “Close the door please. It’s freezing out there.”

The Magic Car said, “I can’t drive in this weather. That’s why I stopped. Which also means you have to walk with them.”

Sherry said, “Damn you.”

The Magic Car disappeared and Thomas created a jacket for her and handed it to her and said, “There you go. It’ll make you warm for a while.”

Sherry said, “Thank you very much.”

Thomas said, “No problem.”

They started walking around and Sherry asked, “How are you not cold Thomas?”

Thomas answered, “Fire Magic. I have every type of magic learned. I just plan on getting stronger so I could meet my father again. Kindralth, Champion of the Red is his name.”

Sherry said, “I also want to see my father again. But not to your extent. He’s a fire dragon right.”

Thomas said, “Yes he is. And I made myself learn all kinds of other magic abilities. You have keys, so do I. I can use dragon magic, sleeping magic, destruction magic, dark magic, I can summon anything.”

Phantom said, “It’s true.”

Sherry said, “Well, it seems that you haven’t showed me any of your other magic.”

Thomas said, “She’s right.”

Phantom said, “Yes she is. You only showed her your Destruction Magic.”

Thomas said, “Yep. Today, against these Ice Vulgars, I’ll show you something that I learned by my father. Dragon Slayer Magic is what it’s called. Did your father teach you that type of magic?”

Sherry answered, “Yes. But Avantador is a female.”

Thomas heard that and said, “I knew that.”

Phantom said, “No you didn’t idiot.”

Thomas whispered, “I hate it when she’s right.”

Phantom kicked him and Thomas moved to the side a little and said, “That hurt.”

Phantom said, “Shut up and let’s get this job over with.”

Thomas said, “This isn’t a job.”

Sherry asked, “What do you mean that this isn’t a job?”

Thomas answered, “We’re not getting paid. He’s a fellow guildmate. We’re going to save him and bring him back to his son. Jeff is quite the badass. But if he lost to an Ice Vulgar, I’m seriously going to have to kick his ass.”

Phantom laughed and then 20 Ice Vulgars appeared and attacked them and took Sherry hostage and Thomas saw that and said, “I forgot to mention that they were perverts to her.”

Phantom said, “You definitely should have told her that. She’s probably asleep right now.”

Thomas said, “And I think that Jeff is a pervert as well.”

Phantom said, “He is Thomas.”

Thomas said, “OK. Let’s begin the torture.”

Phantom said, “OK.”

Thomas made his entire body go into flames and Thomas swung at one of them and said, “Fire Swipe.”

The attack missed and Phantom shot fireballs at them and Thomas joined her and the fireballs came out of his/her mouth.

The 19 Ice Vulgars vanished and Thomas said, “Jeff isn’t here. Which means that the last Ice Vulgar is Jeff.”

Phantom said, “You just realized that Thomas. You’re slow as hell.”

Thomas said, “Damn, don’t be so mean. I’m not slow. I’m just dumb as hell. There’s a difference, I think.”

Phantom said, “You’re right. You’re slow and dumb as hell.”

Thomas said, “Now that’s just messed up.”

Sherry screamed and yelled, “Don’t take my clothes off you Ice Vulgar.”

Phantom said, “Found her. Follow me.”

The snow started to fall because of her screaming and Thomas said, “She unleashed an avalanche.”

Phantom said, “Well, let’s get to her already.”

Thomas said, “Yep.”

They ran to the hole in the mountain and Thomas appeared and slid to the edge of the mountain and the Ice Vulgar said, “Kindralth.”

Thomas looked and asked, “Where?”

Kindralth kicked him and answered, “All the way down there.”

Thomas heard that and yelled, “You damn Ice Vulgar.”

The snow started falling down toward Thomas and Phantom said, “Damn. He killed himself.”

The Ice Vulgar started laughing and said, “It’s time to play together.”

Sherry yelled, “Let go of me.”

Sherry grabbed a key from her pocket and said, “Minotaur.”

Minotaur appeared and Thomas flew in and punched the Minotaur and yelled, “Out of the way bastard.”

The Ice Vulgar saw him and Sherry said, “Damn, he was useless.”

The Ice Vulgar said, “We were just about to play with each other.”

Thomas made his entire body go on fire and the Ice Vulgar smiled and swung at Thomas and Thomas swung at him as well and the 2 fists collided and Thomas said, “Fly Breaker.”

The Ice Vulgar screamed and flew into the wall of the mountain and Sherry saw that and said, “Those are the flames of anger right.”

Phantom answered, “Yep.”

Thomas stared at the Ice Vulgar and it vanished and Jeff wasn’t there either and Thomas said, “He’s not here. If he’s not here, then where is he?”

Phantom said, “Call him. He might know.”

Thomas said, “Yep.”

Thomas took out his phone and called Ted and Ted asked, “Who is it?”

7: They Find Jeff and Bring Him Home

The Ice Vulgar said, "We were just about to play with each other."

Thomas made his entire body go on fire and the Ice Vulgar smiled and swung at Thomas and Thomas swung at him as well and the 2 fists collided and Thomas said, "Fly Breaker."

The Ice Vulgar screamed and flew into the wall of the mountain and Sherry saw that and said, "Those are the flames of anger right."

Phantom answered, "Yep."

Thomas stared at the Ice Vulgar and it vanished and Jeff wasn't there either and Thomas said, "He's not here. If he's not here, then where is he?"

Phantom said, "Call him. He might know."

Thomas said, "Yep."

Thomas took out his phone and called Ted and Ted asked, "Who is it?"

Thomas answered, "It's Thomas."

Ted asked, "Did you find him?"

Thomas answered, "Nope. We were ambushed by 20 Ice Vulgars, but he wasn't here. Where was the job again?"

Ted answered, "The very top of the mountain."

Thomas said, "Oh, we're nowhere near close then. OK, thank you for confirming that."

Ted said, "No problem."

They hung up and Thomas said, "Dammit, we're nowhere near his location. He's at the very top of this mountain. Which means that it's going to get cold as hell. Are you ready to find Jeff everyone?"

They said, "Yessir."

Thomas said, "Please don't call me sir. I have a name and I want to be called by that name. Thomas."

They said, "Sure thing Thomas."

Thomas said, "Good enough. Let's move out."

They started running and Sherry said, "You 2 really are insane."

Thomas said, "Of course we are. We wouldn't be in Dragon Prophets if we weren't crazy."

Phantom smiled and said, "He's right about that."

Sherry asked, "Did you have to attack my creature that I created?"

Thomas answered, "That was your creature. I didn't know that. Oh well, he died heroically."

Sherry said, "You don't even give a damn about your surroundings, do you."

Thomas said, "Not at all."

Sherry said, "You are really hard to work with."

Thomas said, "Not really. I'm really easy to work with."

Phantom said, "I disagree with that."

Thomas sighed and then they got to the tippy top of the mountain and Jeff was hanging there on some rope and Thomas said, "I see. They left him to die up here."

The Ice Vulgars grabbed Thomas and slammed him into the snow and Thomas stared at Phantom and Sherry took out her keys and said, "Ice Crab."

An Ice Crab appeared and said, "I'm back and ready for battle."

Thomas took out a key and said, "Abaddon."

Abaddon appeared and swung at them and Sherry saw that the Ice Crab and Abaddon took out all of the Ice Vulgars and then one of them turned into a girl named, Faith Thomas and Thomas saw that and said, "Faith. What are you doing here?"

Sherry said, "You know her."

Thomas answered, "Yeah, she's a member of our guild."

Faith answered, "I lost against the Ice Vulgars. So did Jeff. He's hanging there."

Something roared and Phantom heard that and flew toward Thomas and hugged him and said, "I'm scared."

Thomas heard that and Sherry turned around and saw the bigass monster and yelled, "What the hell is that?"

Faith answered, "That's the Queen of the Ice Vulgars. Queen Ice Boulder. The thing that we both lost to."

Thomas turned around and saw how big she was and Thomas put Phantom down and said, "I got this."

Sherry backed up and Jeff opened his eyes and said, "Be careful Thomas. She's a monster."

Thomas said, "Giant Transforming Beast."

Thomas transformed into a giant beast and the Queen Ice Boulder said, "It seems that I finally met someone strong. Are you ready?"

Thomas roared and Phantom grabbed them and brought them back a little and Faith asked, "Is that really Thomas?"

Phantom answered, "Yes it is. He's a monster remember. The Destroyer of Worlds."

Faith said, "You're right about that."

Sherry said, "Scary."

Phantom said, "In that form, he loses his voice and roars only."

Thomas charged at the Queen Ice Boulder and she jumped over him and Thomas turned around and flew toward her and hit her head and she flew back a little and then got back to her feet and swung at Thomas and hit his head and Thomas's head hit the mountain and then he roared and then she swung downwards and hit Thomas's head into the ground and then Thomas lifted his body up and stomped on her and she fell down and Thomas started moving his head toward her head and Queen Ice Boulder saw that and Faith asked, "Are they going to kiss?"

Phantom answered, "Actually, I have no idea."

Jeff said, "Nope, he's going to tear her apart."

Thomas opened his mouth and then started his attack and started chewing off at her body and Sherry said, "Interesting. He truly is a monster. But why does the master love you Thomas?"

Faith heard that and answered, "She loves him because they are close to one another. They both are Monster Slayers. When they were younger, their parents brought them together and they played games together and even trained together. Even though, no one won each battle, they are still close to this day."

Phantom heard that and said, "That's the first time ever hearing about that."

Faith said, "That's because Thomas's memories were erased."

Thomas jumped off of her and Queen Ice Boulder stood up slowly and Thomas smiled and ran toward her and tackled her off of the mountain and Thomas fell down with her and Phantom saw that and untied Jeff and yelled, "We need to get out of here now."

Jeff asked, "Why?"

Phantom answered, "He's about to cause the worlds biggest explosion."

Faith said, "I can't move."

Phantom lifted her up and carried her away and Sherry and Jeff started running away and Queen Ice Boulder yelled, "Die with me beast."

Thomas roared and swung at her and she blocked the attack and they hit the bottom of the mountain and a very big explosion appeared and Queen Ice Boulder screamed and Thomas turned back into a human and screamed and they got out of the mountain and Sherry heard the explosion and turned around and saw the smoke and Jeff said, "Don't worry about him. He'll be fine."

Thomas appeared walking down the mountain like a zombie and Phantom saw that and flew toward Thomas and let Faith go and she hugged him and Thomas collapsed and Jeff saw that and Sherry ran toward him and Phantom said, "I didn't do anything."

Sherry said, "He's badly injured."

Thomas whispered, "Sherry, please get the car out. I don't think that I could walk any further."

Sherry heard that and took out the key and said, "Magic Car."

The Magic Car appeared and grabbed Thomas and put him in the car and then grabbed Faith and put her in the car and then Jeff and Sherry entered the car as well and the car took off and Sherry slid down and Jeff asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Thomas answered, "She's a Monster Slayer. Motion sickness."

Jeff heard that and said, "Oh."

Faith asked, "How do you feel Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "Like shit. How about you?"

Faith answered, "Good. Even though I can't move."

Thomas said, "I'm with you there. I'm bleeding galore here."

Faith said, "I can tell."

The Magic Car stopped in front of the guild and then disappeared and Thomas and Faith collapsed on to the ground and Thomas yelled, "Ted, come outside."

Ted did and saw Jeff and hugged him and Thomas smiled and turned over slowly and then put his hands on the ground and started pushing up and then stood up and walked toward Ted and said, "If you need anything else, please ask us now."

Ted answered, "To leave us alone for now."

Thomas said, "Understood Ted."

Thomas walked over to Faith and lifted her up and the 4 of them entered the guild and Emily Norman, the drunk in the guild said, "Look at who's back, Faith."

Faith said, "Hello everyone."

Skylar said, "It's about time you got back."

Thomas said, "She was defeated by the Queen Ice Boulder."

Skylar said, "That makes sense then. So did Jeff."

Thomas said, "Yep. He's with Ted right now and wants to be left alone. So let's leave him alone."

Thomas put her on a seat and then Thomas sat down and Skylar asked, "What happened to you?"

Thomas answered, "I blew up an entire mountain."

Everyone started laughing and Faith said, "He's telling the truth."

They stopped laughing and Thomas put his head down and said, "I'm exhausted."

Skylar said, "We can tell."

8: Sherry Chooses Her First Job

5 days after rescuing Jeff and Faith, Thomas was fully healed and Sherry asked, "Would you like to go out on a job today Thomas?"

Thomas answered, "Sure thing. I feel motivated right now. Choose anyone you want."

Sherry said, "OK."

She walked over to the board and looked at the jobs and then said, "This job seems nice."

Thomas walked over asked, "What job did you pick?"

Sherry answered, "The one that we get to defeat a Monster named Goliath."

Thomas looked at the job and said, "The Goliath is destroying everything. We've been trying to stop him, but he's too strong for us. We need some assistance." OK, let's go there then."

Phantom said, "It's her choice."

Thomas said, "600,000 eagle eyes. Which means that we each get 200,000."

Sherry asked, "What would a Dragon need with money?"

Phantom answered, "A lot of things. First off, a bed. Second, rent. Third, food."

Thomas said, "She's smarter than me. Let's get going to Oldnesse."

Sherry said, "OK, let's go then."

They started to walk to the train station and Sherry asked, "Why'd we come to the train station?"

Thomas answered, "The fastest way of transport."

Phantom said, "Especially if it's to Oldnesse. Oldnesse is over 6,000 miles away from here."

Sherry said, "It's that far away."

Thomas said, "I'm afraid so. Before Phantom was born, I went there for a job. It's pretty far. It's like a 7 day ride. So we're going to have a long wait."

Sherry said, "I see. So you don't have a key for a helicopter or airplane or something like that."

Thomas said, "I'm afraid not."

Sherry said, "Neither do I."

The train appeared and they walked on to the train and Sherry asked, "What do you expect from the Goliath?"

Thomas answered, "The Goliath is a really powerful Monster. You'll need a berserker to defeat him. I have most of those keys. I also have cards."

Sherry said, "You're insane. How do you keep up with all of the magic?"

Thomas answered, "I just do what I know first. Then I'd like to try something new if that doesn't work."

Phantom said, "We should sit down before the train starts."

Thomas said, "Phantom has a point."

They walked to a seat and sat down and Sherry asked, "What made you join the guild?"

Thomas answered, "I don't know. That's a really good question. I don't know anymore. Maybe to just make the world a happy place like it was before the Monsters attack."

Phantom heard that and asked, "Do you remember anything about your past Thomas?"

Thomas heard that and answered, "Yeah. I remember nothing at all."

Phantom said, "I thought so."

Thomas asked, "Why do you ask?"

Phantom answered, "This world was never happy."

Sherry said, "That is where you are wrong Phantom."

Phantom heard that and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Thomas answered, "Before you were born, the world was a happy place. But a month after you were born, the world went to shit and the Monsters came and started destroying the world."

Phantom heard that and said, "So it really is a world of peace."

Thomas said, "It should be a world of peace. But the Monsters disturbed that peace."

Sherry said, "Exactly what Thomas said. Plus, there are dark mages all over the world. And they also try to destroy the world."

Phantom said, "Wait, if you learned about all kinds of magic. Did you learn about life and death magic?"

Thomas heard that and answered, "Nope. If I learned that, I would be unable to age, and I'd be immortal. But I am immortal even without the life and death magic. I don't want to be possessed and destroy the world. The people that learn that should stay away from humanity so the people wouldn't die around them."

Phantom heard that and said, "But you can summon things."

Thomas said, "I'm afraid so. I can also create things."

Phantom asked, "What are some things that you could create?"

Thomas answered, "Cars, boats, airplanes, helicopters, helicarriers, demons, angels, gods, goddesses, weapons, monsters, elves, and loads more."

Sherry said, "You could have made a helicopter and we could have gotten there faster."

Thomas said, "I rather take the train. So I don't have to see August's face for a while."

Sherry said, "Now that's mean."

Thomas said, "And August is an asshole."

Sherry said, "That still doesn't mean anything."

Thomas said, "Oh yes it does girl. He talks shit, he acts gay in front of me. And I can't stand the way he looks. Plus he's always warm as well as I."

Sherry said, "OK. He's an asshole."

Phantom asked, "Why are you siding with him now?"

Sherry answered, "He sounds like an asshole."

Phantom laughed and said, "Well, we have to agree with you there."

The train took off and Thomas flew into the other seat and then 20 masked people appeared and yelled, "Everyone, put your money and valuables into the bags when it comes around to you."

Thomas snapped his fingers and then the sickness went away and Thomas said, "That really hurt."

9: The Train Robbers

The train took off and Thomas flew into the other seat and then 20 masked people appeared and yelled, "Everyone, put your money and valuables into the bags when it comes around to you."

Thomas snapped his fingers and then the sickness went away and Thomas said, "That really hurt."

Lestari yelled, "Stop talking now."

Thomas said, "These guys are idiots."

Lestari appeared next to him and hit him in the head with the back of his gun and Phantom said, "You shouldn't have done that."

Lestari asked, "Why not?"

Thomas answered, "Because you just attacked the Destroyer of Worlds."

Lestari heard that and said, "Impossible, he's out on a job in some bullshit forest."

Thomas grabbed the gun and pulled it out of his hands and aimed it at him and said, "It seems that you messed with the wrong man."

Lestari laughed and said, "Well, you messed with the wrong group."

Thomas put the gun by his mouth and started eating it and everyone saw that and Lestari ducked and Sutanto Shing appeared and started shooting at him and all of the bullets went through him. Holes of fire appeared in his chest and Phantom saw that and Thomas kicked Lestari in the face and she flew back toward Sutanto.

Sutanto asked, "Who in the world are you?"

Thomas answered, "The only person on this planet that you don't want to piss off."

Sutanto heard that and said, "Yeah right."

Thomas looked at her and her head started moving and Sutanto asked, "Why is my head moving? I'm not even moving it."

Lestari heard that and asked, "What are you doing?"

Thomas answered, "Nothing at all."

Thomas forced his head all the way and Sutanto's neck broke and she fell and Lestari caught her and asked, "Are you ok Sutanto? Talk to me Sutanto."

Sherry said, "You killed him."

Thomas heard that and looked at his chest and said, "Heal."

His wounds disappeared and Phantom said, "Man, heal him."

Thomas said, "I already did."

Thomas put his hands behind his head and they did and Thomas walked over with cuffs and put them on them and said, "Tell me ladies, who are you and why are you on the train?"

Lestari answered, "We're not going to tell you shit."

Thomas said, "Ray Gun."

The ray gun appeared in his hands and he put it by his side and asked, "What did you say?"

Sutanto answered, "Up yours."

Phantom said, "Damn."

Thomas turned around and Lestari saw the guild crest and said, "He's the real deal. He was never in that forest."

Thomas said, "Actually, I just got back from the forest. Plus, I was there for 2 years. So stop pissing me off and tell me what I need to know."

Sutanto said, "Go to hell."

Lestari said, "Well, I guess that we could at least say our names."

Sutanto said, "I'm Sutanto Shing."

Lestari said, "I'm Lestari. It's nice to meet you."

Thomas said, "And it isn't nice to meet you."

Thomas walked over to them again and lifted them up and carried them to the others and Thomas said, "Keep an eye on them. If you don't, they will kill you."

Phantom opened her mouth and a light appeared and she held it there till he got back and Lestari asked, "How long can you keep your mouth open like that?"

Phantom answered, "As long as I want to."

Sherry took out her keys and Sutanto said, "This world needs to end already. Especially so Thomas Smokenell could die."

Sherry asked, "What is your grudge with him?"

Sutanto answered, "He's a murderer. Not only is he not getting caught for all of the people he's killed, he's always destroying things in this world."

Lestari said, "We could tell them right."

Thomas sat down next to a perfect stranger and Sutanto said, "Yes we can."

Lestari said, "We're 2 members of the 20 Train Robbers. And we all want to kill Thomas Smokenell. But we can't find a way to do it."

Phantom heard that and said, "Thomas isn't a murderer. I've been with him for 10 years."

Lestari said, "We're talking over 50 years ago."

Sherry heard that and said, "He really is immortal."

Sutanto heard that and Lestari said, "He's a lot worse than just an immortal."

Phantom asked, "What do you mean?"

Sutanto answered, "He's slaughtered many people and gets away with it. The Rune Knights appear and watch the way he fights. He just slaughters them in front of them and they won't do a thing because they are scared of him. He's like a Demon that fights for something or someone. There is a report that he truly is a Demon that never lost in a fight before."

Lestari said, "You could trick him for a second and then he's on to you. You can't stop him."

Thomas heard that and Lestari said, "And our parents were one of many of his victims."

Sherry heard that and Thomas walked away and asked, "Why don't I remember any of that? Why won't you let me remember?"

Phantom said, "Thomas wouldn't do that."

Lestari said, "Have you seen him fight before?"

Sherry answered, "Yes I have. Not like a Demon."

Phantom said, "I live with the man. And he acts like any other guy."

They looked around and Thomas said, "Take your stuff out of the bag please."

Everyone heard that and asked, "Are you sure?"

Thomas answered, "Yes I am."

Sutanto said, "He's only acting like a good person. You need to get as far away from him as possible. He might kill you 2 next."

Sherry said, "He won't kill us."

Thomas walked to the seat where he sat before and listened to their conversation again.

10: Darkside Elites

Sutanto said, "He's only acting like a good person. You need to get as far away from him as possible. He might kill you 2 next."

Sherry said, "He won't kill us."

Thomas walked to the seat where he sat before and listened to their conversation again.

Sutanto said, "You don't know him. We do. He used to be the guild master of a dark guild called Darkside Elites. Darkside Elites is a well-known dark guild that destroyed more than half of the world in only 3 days. The guild is still active to this day. But no one knows who the guild master is."

Lestari said, "That guild is bad news for the world. Everyone knows about it. It's full of Demons that use very dangerous magic that no one in the world uses. There's no stopping them. Thomas trained them all as well. The guild keeps getting bigger because someone keeps creating these beasts."

Sherry heard that and Phantom said, "There's no way that he would be a member of Darkside Elites. It's the leader of all dark guilds. He would never betray this world."

Lestari asked, "What makes you say that?"

Sherry answered, "That's because he's a member of Dragon Prophets."

Sutanto heard that and said, "Dragon Prophets is the strongest legal guild in the world. But Darkside Elites are way stronger. Thomas's explosive power wiped out 500 cities, 2,000 islands, and 70 continents. We 20 Train Robbers were created to take him out along with his entire guild. But his magic power gets stronger every second of the day. Thomas will destroy the world."

Lestari said, "Darkside Elites are going to destroy the world he means. Anerth will be nothing but dust when they're done with it. You need to stay away from him before he turns into his Demon form."

They stared at them and then the other 18 of them walked into the back cart and said, "Lestari, Sutanto, let's go. The train stopped."

They looked around and saw that no one was there and Sutanto said, "Do as we say. Get away from him now."

Thomas stood up and grabbed the 2 of them and said, "Your 18 friends are here."

Phantom heard that and said, "I thought that you went to the other cars."

Thomas said, "Nope. I've been sitting here listening to your conversation. It seems that they know more about me than I know about myself. It's quite exciting if you ask me."

Sutanto said, "It's not exciting."

Sydney Holt said, "Let's go."

Thomas said, "Go. Before I kill you."

They heard that and Thomas ran toward them and everyone asked, "Who are you?"

Sutanto answered, "That's Thomas Smokenell."

Thomas ran through them and disappeared and Sydney saw that and said, "He just disappeared after running through us."

Phantom said, "Ghost Magic and then Teleportation Magic."

Jack Shelton said, "That can't be Thomas Smokenell. He only uses Fire Magic."

Phantom smiled and said, "That's him."

Sherry asked, "Why do you hate Thomas so much?"

Yuichi Sadahada answered, "He killed our parents and then took our siblings away and turned them into Demons."

Sherry said, "He would never do that."

Bob Horne asked, "Do you know why he never shows his legs?"

Phantom answered, "Nope, not at all."

Bob said, "He has the guild crest for Darkside Elites. It's a human laying on the ground with blood surrounding the body. You should stay away from him."

Phantom said, "Never."

Thomas appeared in the front train and said, "Start driving."

The driver asked, "Why?"

Thomas answered, "You got 20 criminals on the train. Drive."

The driver did and Bob felt the train moving and Sherry collapsed and said, "I think that I'm going to be sick."

Kyouko Kuramoto laughed and walked over to her and started kicking her and said, "Look at how weak she is. She has motion sickness."

Sherry started screaming and Phantom shot a fireball at her and the leader of the 20 Train Robbers, Raira Yano made it disappear and said, "It seems that you really underestimate us. We're made to kill them."

Thomas made his pants disappear and put shorts on and Thomas looked at his legs and saw the guild crest of Darkside Elites and smiled and said, "OK. Let's begin the fun everyone. But whatever you do, do not stop the train."

The driver asked, "What about the passengers?"

Thomas heard that and said, "OK. Forget about what I said. I'm going to fight them on the train. So whatever you do, don't stop till it's time for the passengers to leave."

The driver said, "Understood."

Thomas disappeared and appeared behind everyone and then the Thomas saw that Kyouko was attacking Sherry and said, "You should never mess with my friends."

Phantom heard that and Kyouko turned her head slowly and Thomas appeared behind everyone and Thomas yelled, "Get out of this car everyone."

All of the passengers ran to the next car and Dave Reyes asked, "What are you doing Thomas?"

Thomas walked out and detached the car and Thomas attacked them all and grabbed the bags and said, "See you later."

Phantom grabbed Sherry and flew to the next car of the train and Raira yelled, "You bastard. Give us back our loot."

Thomas yelled, "Stop talking shit about me then."

They heard that and Thomas smiled and opened the hatch and walked in and yelled, "Who had there things stolen?"

Everyone rose there hands and Thomas lifted the bags up and everyone started cheering and Thomas smiled and put the bags down and said, "I'm going to give everyone there belongings back. So hang in there."

He started walking all over the train handing everyone there things and 7 days later, everyone was off of the train and it was only Thomas, Phantom and Sherry sitting there and the driver asked, "Where are you 3 going?"

Thomas answered, "We're going to Oldnesse."

The driver heard that and said, "Oldnesse. You can't be serious. You 3 will get murdered. Everyone in that town died yesterday. A group of Monsters appeared out of nowhere and started destroying the place. It was on the radio. Nothing is left except for the Monsters."

Thomas said, "I guess that we have to defeat those Monsters then."

The driver heard that and then looked ahead of him and saw the Monsters and screamed and Thomas asked, "What's wrong?"

The train hit the Goliath and was smashed to smithereens and Thomas banged is head into the seat and Phantom grabbed Sherry and flew out before that even happened and Sherry opened her eyes and asked, "What happened?"

Phantom answered, "The train hit the Goliath."

Raira and the others appeared and saw that the train hit the Goliath and asked, "Is he dead?"

Sherry asked, "Where's Thomas? Is Thomas ok?"

Phantom answered, "I don't know where he is."

11: The Goliath Tears the Train to Shreds

The driver heard that and then looked ahead of him and saw the Monsters and screamed and Thomas asked, “What’s wrong?”

The train hit the Goliath and was smashed to smithereens and Thomas banged is head into the seat and Phantom grabbed Sherry and flew out before that even happened and Sherry opened her eyes and asked, “What happened?”

Phantom answered, “The train hit the Goliath.”

Raira and the others appeared and saw that the train hit the Goliath and asked, “Is he dead?”

Sherry asked, “Where’s Thomas? Is Thomas ok?”

Phantom answered, “I don’t know where he is.”

Sherry said, “Look for him then.”

Midori Iseri said, “Our job is done. He got himself killed.”

Raira said, “You’re right.”

Sherry took out a key and said, “Scanner.”

The scanner appeared and she pointed it at the train and found no signs of life and Phantom asked, “Did you find anything Sherry?”

Sherry answered, “I’m afraid not. There’s no sign of life inside the train.”

Phantom heard that and said, “So they were lying to us about his age and him destroying the world.”

The Goliath grabbed the train and lifted it up and Phantom flew out of the way and Goliath slammed the train into the ground and it exploded and the Goliath roared and continued slamming it into the ground and Raira said, “We’re not leaving. I like this. Thomas is dead inside of that train. And his friends are flying in the air. Let’s see what happens. They never knew about what happened in this town.”

Walter Peterson smiled and then asked, “What are they going to do? That’s the real question.”

Phantom said, “I’m going to land us so we could activate some of your magic on the Goliath. While you’re attacking him, I’ll try to lift him up.”

Sherry asked, “Do you think that you could handle it? That thing is probably over 4 tons.”

Phantom said, “You’re right. It does weigh over 4 tons. That’s why I need to get stronger for Thomas.”

Sherry heard that and said, “OK Phantom. Let’s do this for Thomas.”

Phantom put Sherry down and took out her keys and said, “Berserker.”

A being the same height as the Goliath appeared and Sherry said, “Get the train and bring it to me.”

Berserker said, “Yes ma’am.”

Berserker ran toward the train and when the Goliath slammed it into the ground, the Berserker put his hands up and stopped the train and pulled it back and it flew toward Sherry and Berserker started attacking the Goliath and Phantom appeared and Berserker backed up and Phantom grabbed the Goliath’s back and started trying to lifted him up and Berserker saw that and then others started to appear and Sherry ran into the train of what’s left of it and searched for Thomas and Berserker sensed an evil magic source coming from the train and said, “Get out of the train Sherry. I sense a very dangerous magic source inside of the train.”

Sherry heard that and ran out and then a Goliath appeared and started tearing the train apart and Berserker ran toward the Goliath and swung at him and the Goliath blocked it and grunted and Berserker said, “These things really are strong.”

While the Berserker attacked that Goliath, a third one appeared and started attacking the train again and Berserker said, “I can’t attack 2 of them at the same time Sherry.”

Sherry said, “I know that Berserker. King Kong.”

King Kong appeared and the train was completely destroyed by the time King Kong appeared though and there were no bodies. There were no bodies because the Goliath tossed Thomas’s body into the ground and the debris of the train is on top of him and Walter asked, “How are we going to go about this?”

Raira answered, “Thomas is dead. We’re only watching remember.”

King Kong roared and then Thomas opened his eyes and looked up and saw pitch black and Phantom started lifting the Goliath up and Sherry saw that and Raira asked, “Why is the Goliath flying? What is going on here?”

Phantom grinned and the Goliath roared loudly and Phantom screamed and yelled, “I’m going to get stronger for Thomas Smokenell. So wake up dammit.”

Sherry heard that and Thomas started moving around and Raira saw that and grinned and said, “You gotta be kidding me.”

Cecelia Curtis said, “He survived.”

Phantom got to 23,846 ft in the air and then let him go and the Goliath roared and Sherry said, “She got him all the way up there.”

Thomas continued moving around and started growling and then the Goliath fell on top of the debris that Thomas was under and exploded and Thomas roared loudly and everything within a 5 mile radius disappeared and Thomas appeared and stood up and stared at the Goliath and walked toward them like a zombie and King Kong and Berserker saw that and disappeared and Sherry saw Thomas and said, “He’s alive.”

Thomas appeared in front of the Goliath and swung at him.

12: Demonic Thomas vs. Goliath's

Phantom got to 23,846 ft in the air and then let him go and the Goliath roared and Sherry said, “She got him all the way up there.”

Thomas continued moving around and started growling and then the Goliath fell on top of the debris that Thomas was under and exploded and Thomas roared loudly and everything within a 5 mile radius disappeared and Thomas appeared and stood up and stared at the Goliath and walked toward them like a zombie and King Kong and Berserker saw that and disappeared and Sherry saw Thomas and said, “He’s alive.”

Thomas appeared in front of the Goliath and swung at him. As soon as Thomas swung at him, his fist hit the Goliath’s head and the Goliath flew away and Thomas continued to walk toward them and they ran toward him and Thomas smiled and punched the ground and yelled, “Nuclear.”

The ground blew up and the 3 Goliath’s flew back and Thomas walked toward them again and Sherry saw that and Phantom flew down and saw Thomas and Thomas opened his mouth and said, “Roar of the Demonic Dragon.”

The dark flames appeared out of his mouth and flew toward the Goliath’s and they roared and disappeared and then he closed his mouth and looked around and then saw a group of Goliath’s all over the place and roared like a dragon and Phantom saw Thomas and the Goliath’s ran toward him and Thomas ran toward them and Phantom saw his movements and Thomas swung his arms and the air cracked and they all disappeared and everyone saw that and Thomas looked up and roared like a dragon and Phantom said, “This isn’t Thomas right.”

Thomas collapsed and Raira said, “Let’s get out of here before he kills us.”

They said, “Yes ma’am.”

They disappeared and Sherry ran to him and turned him over and saw the guild crest on his lower left leg and said, “They weren’t lying.”

Phantom said, “Impossible. He’s a member of the darkest guild in the world.”

Gina Horne appeared and walked toward Thomas and said, “Sir, it’s time for you to wake up. You shouldn’t have attacked him.”

Sherry said, “The Goliath’s did.”

Gina heard that and said, “Oh wait, this was the town that was taken over by the Goliath’s. Where did they all go?”

Sherry said, “Look at the ground. I tried getting him out of the train before it blew up and torn apart. But then dark magic appeared.”

Gina said, “Oh. OK. Thank you for taking care of him for Darkside Elites. Take him back to Dragon Prophets. That’s where he’ll heal himself. 1 more thing, everything those 20 Train Robbers told you is true. But he saved us from death and gave us a second chance with life.”

Phantom heard that and said, “I wonder why he’s helping people now.”

Gina heard that and said, “Beats me. Have fun now. We’ll meet again sooner or later.”

They heard that and Gina walked away and disappeared and Sherry lifted Thomas up and carried him to the guild. Phantom said, “Damn, we didn’t get paid.”

Sherry said, “Don’t worry about it. I didn’t get money either.”

Phantom said, “You’re right.”

They got to the guild 3 months later and Thomas was still out cold and August walked toward him and saw that his eyes were bugged out and asked, “What happened to him?”

Sherry answered, “You don’t want to know. He’s been unconscious for 3 months now.”

Skylar heard that and said, “3 months.”

Melissa asked, “What job did you do?”

Phantom answered, “The one in Oldnesse. To defeat a Goliath.”

Sherry said, “But as soon as we got there, the train was demolished by the Goliath and the town was overrun with no signs of life. Thomas was in the train when it was destroyed, blown up and torn to shreds. 5 minutes later, he wakes up as a demon.”

Skylar heard that and said, “It seems that his past is haunting him now.”

Thomas opened his eyes and punched the ground and said, “It seems that I finally woke up from being in Hell.”

Everyone heard that and Skylar kicked his head and said, “Cover your legs up dammit.”

Thomas asked, “Why?”

Skylar put her head by his ear and whispered, “The guild crest.”

Thomas snapped his fingers and his shorts turned into pants and Thomas walked home and said, “I’ll be asleep for a while. Good night.”

Everyone heard that and said, “Good night.”

Thomas walked to his house and saw an old pal of his and said, “Hello girl.”

The girl said, “Hey Thomas. You look like shit.”

Thomas said, “You could say that again.”
