The Exclusive

"Where the hell am I?" Said a voice in a darkened swamp. "I don't know where I'm at, but I at least still have my clothes, cards, and rings, That's a plus." Said the voice, the voice belonged to the author of this story. "The only thing I know right now is how the hell I got here, where ever here is any way. Recap, I was writing a story for DA, cause I forgot that I put the other stories on the forums on SVT. So, I needed to write an exclusive story for DA. Which during the writing of I started messing with my MTG cards, then a power surge, blinding light, and the next thing I know, I'm knee deep in swamp sludge." I said, I looked around seeing that there was nothing around other than swamp land. "Well, no use for me standing around, I need to get out of here, just to at least see if anything is noticable." I said to myself, as I walked through, well, actually it was more of sloshing through the swamplands. After a good while of sloshing, I reached what seemed like the edge of a forest. I sloshed through the swampland to the treeline, I then walked on through the forest. I walked on and on, getting thirstier and thirstier, hungrier and hungrier the further I walked. (Why the hell didn't I get a drink of swamp water while I was there?) [Cause your a moron that ended up in a strange world because of a freak power surge.] (Oh shut up, at least I don't have to hear the others yammer on along with you.) {Who said something about talking?} (Ah, Jeez your here, so, are the others here too?) <Yes> /Ya\ :Uh huh: "What did I do to get schizophrenia, tell me god, what did I do to deserve schizo-freaking-phrenia, tell me and I'll be happy." I said this to myself, while listening to the voices in my head continue to argue amongst themselves. After a while of listening to them argue for a good while, and for walking a bit longer, I finally reached some sort of place, it seemed like some sort of villiage of some type. "Well boys, I hate to say this, and I really mean that I HATE TO SAY THIS, but I think we have a place to finally put up our hats, and wet our tounges with a good drink, huh?" The voices in my head seemingly quite arguing, thank goodness. It looked as if the villiage was abandoned, no one was there, but it at least looked as if the place was abandoned in a hurry. I don't know what happened, but I did find a jug full of what seemed like water. I took a long swig from it, it tasted like water, it did, and It tasted really refreshing too. I then looked around for a place to rest, I entered one of the surrounding huts, hopeing that there was a bed big enough for my 200 pound self. There was, I laid down on the bed, it wasn't that comfortable but, hell, make do with what you got right? But before I could close my eyes and catch some z's, my MTG cards fell outta my pocket. "Dang it." I got up and started picking up my cards off of the reed matted floor. One card got swept up in a gust of wind, and got blown out of the hut. "I am not losing any of my cards here, especially not you." I said as I chased after it, I then did a u-turn and put my shirt on top of the pile. "I don't want you all to be swept away." I then turned back around and returned to chasing after my card. It landed on the outskirts of the abandoned villiage, I noticed something as I picked up my card, the villiage I was in was surrounded by mountains and swamps on all sides. I looked at the card that had been swept away from me, "Skullmead Cauldron, I would really like to at least try you, even if your taste will remain on my tongue for eternity." In response to what I said, For some Fooked up reason, the ground began to shake. The swamp started to boil and shake, something arose from it, something that looked exactly like a cauldron. After all the shaking, boiling, and rumbling finished, the cauldron seemed to steam. I walked over to the steaming cauldron and looked in. Inside was what looked like a broth or soup of some sort. "Okay, wait, no." I looked at the cauldron again and again, each time a different angle, but I couldn't deny it. It was the same as the Skullmead Cauldron card.

I walked over to it, on one side of it was a ladel and a cup, hanging on a handle. "Now I know this has to be the Skullmead Cauldron, but, if this, came from here, then, maybe, no, no, and no. There's no possibility that I could actually bring them to life, could I?" I raced back to the hut I was in at the begining of the chase, I put my shirt back on, and grabbed all of my cards. I then head to the center of the villiage. The wierd thing was, the cauldron was there when I arrived. I stopped before entering the town center, (Hey guys, wasn't that cauldron back in one of the swamps?) [Yes boss, it was.] {He's telling the truth.} (Okay, no need for all of you to talk.) I then walked over to it and sat down next to it. I spread out all of my cards, I then began looking through them for a few specific creatures. "Alright, let's see if this works, Sadistic Augermage, I summon you to my side!" There was a bit more rumbling, boiling, and shaking, but after that, there was nothing. "Ah, man, what a rip, oh well, at least I tried." Before I could get up to get myself a little Skullmead from the cauldron, a drill burst through the ground a few feet infront of me. The only thing I could do was sit and watch as the drill continued to come up from the ground. What followed after it was the exact creature that I had tried to summon. (A Sadistic Augermage, I actually summoned a Sadistic Augermage, wait, I summoned a Sadistic Augermage with no purpose in mind other than to test to see if what I thought was possible to be possible. I am so screwed.) The Sadistic Augermage climbed up out of the hole it had made, dusted itself off and walked over to my side, with that evil looking drill by it's side. "Don't kill me please." I said as it walked straight to my front. "Why would I kill the person that summoned me, not many people know how to summon me, but you do." Said the Sadistic Augermage to me, "Wait, you don't want to use that drill of yours and 'cure' my schizophrenia?" "I would love to do that, but, since your the one whom summoned me, and the fact that you hold something that seemingly binds me into your service, I can't, but I can do it to anyone else, that you let me do it to that is." "Oh, um, you wanna drink of some Skullmead?" "Skullmead, I've had it, it's good, but I still can't get rid of the taste, but sure." The Sadistic Augermage gave me a hand up. I walked over to the other side of the cauldron, surprisingly, there was two cups now. I shook off the notion of wierdness and gave a cup to the Sadistic Augermage. I grabbed the other cup and the ladel and started dishing out the Skullmead. "So, you got a name other than Sadistic Augermage?" "Irving." "Irving the Sadistic Augermage, Be alright if I call you Irv?" "Yes, it's shorter and less bothersome to say." "You got it, Irv." I finished dishing out the Skullmead, "Well, um, I hate to sound cliche but, Skoll." "Skoll." We clinked cups and drank, man, does Skullmead taste good, think about all the great drinks you've ever drank, then mix the feeling of drinking them all at once together, then let it just go down at a nice, comfortable pace, but you can't get rid of the aftertaste. That's what Skullmead's like, but anywho, After a few drinks with Irv, "Where am I anyway Irv?" "Your in a land that was made long ago, before Chaos and Aurora existed, I am but one of many creatures that can be summoned around this world, the land your in now, was made by the lands you had." "What lands, I have no la.....wait, you mean to tell me that this entire place, was made from all the land cards from all of my MTG decks?" "Yes." "Sweet butmonkey on blue butted baboon, Your saying, I have power here?" "Again, Yes." "Okay, that seems reasonable." "But, the lands you have supplied, were used to create only lands, there are also other lands that you didn't create, but were created before you ever came." I got another cup full of Skullmead and sat down next to the cauldron. "So, what your saying is, there's more out there than what I see before my eyes, right?" "Exactly, such as, those." Irv pointed behind me, I looked and saw at least three bird looking things, they didn't have any exterior features, other than a hard looking skin, the bird looking things looked to be crossbreeded with snakes, cause they ended in snake tails. "I know what those things are, Slivers, right?" "Yes, as soon as you summoned me, other creatures of your, 'Deck' started to come to life and inhabit this realm that has been created."

I grabbed a couple of my cards, "So, do I have to fight those Slivers or what?" "No, there just the common wildlife here, just becareful, they can become agressive." "I can tell, but besides that point, is there any one else other than myself, well, the only other thing here that wasn't created by my MTG cards here?" Before Irv could answer there was a scream from the forest I was in, I grabbed all my cards, looked over to Irv. "Come on, we have a job to do, if a Nodorog, then we got some important biznass to do, got me Irv." "Yes master, we got business to do, and I have a patient to see." Said Irv Sadistically. I nodded, the scream came again from the forest, it sounded female. I ran with all my cards in my pockets, Irv was right behind me. We ran until we saw something that definitely didn't belong to Magic The Gathering. Swatbots surrounding a helpless group of Mobians, "Irv, You take the two on the left, I'll take the two on the right, oh, do you have..." Before I could even finish, he had already handed me a really big drill. "Um, never mind and thanks." I crept forward to get behind my two Swatbots, while Irv did the same with his. Some how, we shish-ka-bobed the Swatbots on both of our drills, I handed my handle of my drill over to Irv. "Do your stuff Irv." "You got it master." With that, Irv was so blinding fast, I could hardly see what he did, but, he did render all of the Swatbots there into nothing more than spare parts. "Ah, yeah, you the Augermage, You the Augermage!" I cheered as Irv put away his drills, "Yes Master, but, What should I do about...Them?" Said Irv, pointing to the small group of Mobians we just saved. "You have got to be kidding me, You want to Sadistically Augermage them?" "Yes, and your point is Master?" Hand to face moment at that moment. "Okay, they are the innocent people that the Artifact Warriors were menacing, and you now want to finish those Artifact Warriors were going to do?!" I yelled trying to get my point across to Irving. "Um..No, I just want to have some fun." "ABUB, I don't care that you want to have some fun, You are not going to have your fun on those people, now exsqueze me for a minor moment, I have people to comfort and escort out of our little slice of the world." Irv nodded and I went over to the cowaring group of Mobians. "There's no need to be afraid, My friend and I are here to take you out of these lands and back to where you came from, so, where do you come from?" What I didn't see was that there was a single female Mobian, a Female Chipmunk, came forward out of the group. I could just imagine how they seen my jaw drop, Irv said that my jaw actually had stretched all the way to the ground at one point. But that was after the little group meeting. But, back to the meeting, After I picked my jaw back up from the ground, "Might I ask you your name, my dear Female Chipmunk?" "My name is Sally Alicia Acorn, I am part of the Royal Family of Acorn and Leader of this expedition into your lands, I'm sorry about the skirmish that you had to break up, those bots followed us here." "Ah, no need to say your sorry, we saw that you were in trouble and decided to help, But, that's besides the point, the actual point is, why are you leading an expedition here into My Land." "Um, your land?" Irv said to me, "Okay, OUR land, okay, Happy?" "Yes." "Okay, but still, What is the reason of your Expedition into these Lands anyway?" Sally took out a pocket book looking thing, "Nicole, display map of Mobius, please." With that her little pocket book thing projected a holographic map of the supposed planet. "Now, could you please show our general location." "Yes Sally." Said the Pocket book to Sally, and on the Holo-Map a dot appeared on an area that was labeled Uncharted Territory. Irv piped in after that, "Let me get this straight, Your telling us that your here searching this place out, because it is 'Uncharted' to You and your kind, and Your showing us that on that fancy looking artifact of yours, correct?" "Yes, I believe you have said it correctly, we are exploring this Uncharted territory, so that is not 'Uncharted' to us any further." Said Sally to Irv. "Now, now, Sally, may I call you Sally, and Irving, there's no need to try and kill one another, you just need to calm down just a bit. Look, how about we head back to the villiage and we'll all sort this out, okay?" "That seems alright." Irving got out one of his big drills and placed it point down on the ground. "I'm sorry you can do it with out me, Summon me when there's something that needs to be 'taken care of', Not any kind of Talks, if you want that, Summon the Droning Beuracrats, They'll talk your ears off, until then, good bye." With that the Sadistic Augermage named Irving drilled into the dirt and dissapeared from sight. "Well, that's something you don't see everyday, right?" A few of the Mobians nodded to what I said.

After a walk through the forest like muck, having Sally next to my side while the rest of the Mobian group walked on following us. We reached the villiage, and most of the Mobians in the group looked as if they were tired and thirsty. "I might have something that could help with that, but you'll never rid your self of the taste after one drink of it." They turned down my offer and drank from canteens, I shrugged and headed towards the center of the villiage, there was some scuffling sounds coming from some of the huts near our little group. "Stay close to me, No one go any where." As I said that, Dwarves came out of the huts, surrounding us, giving all of us menacing looks, There might be at least 2 more of them than the rest of us, well, that is until, a grey as steel Dwarf and a Dwarf with the longest freaking beard I've ever seen walked out of the hut I had recently rested in earlier that day. "Okay, Who are you guys, and What are you doing here?" The steel grey dwarf walked up to me, grabbed the front of my collar and pulled me down to his level, "I should be asking you the same questions, Human." The Dwarf said that in an insulting tone, I really didn't like it. I took one of my decks out of my pockets and started shuffling, "And what you going to do about me being here, Bloodfire." Some of the other Dwarves that were there mumbled some things between themselves until the long bearded one hushed them, "You know his name, so, how do you know his name, Human?" "Okay, one thing, I'm getting tired of you guys refering to me as 'Human' and Secondly.." I took a card from the top of my deck and looked at it. "Crypt Champion, I SUMMON YOU TO MY SIDE, RID ME OF MY ENEMIES!!!" I yelled, the ground rumbled twice as bad as it did when I summoned Irving, but this time the ground opened up and a Zombie jumped out of it, the zombie wielded a pair of arm blades and had an evil looking belt around his waist which held a red kilt around it's waist. I pointed to the Dwarves, "ANIHI..." Before I could sic the Crypt Champion on the Dwarves, Sally put her hand on my shoulder. "Please, I may not know your customs here, but please, show them some mercy, please." I looked at her, and then I looked at the cringeing dwarves, even the Bloodfire Dwarf was cringing before me and the Crypt Champion. "For you, Crypt Champion, return from whence you came." With that the Crypt Champion looked at me, shrugged, and struck the ground, which split asunder and he jumped in. The ground resealed and the dwarves stopped cowaring. "Alright, now do you know whom with your messing with?" I asked to the dwarves, they all nodded. "Good, now, let's make this place liveable right?" Again, they all nodded, but then the long bearded dwarf stepped forward. "Stranger, I've heard a legend that you would come and rule this land for eternity with your cards, I never imagined that I would live to see it, I pledge my axe to your service." Said the bearded dwarf. I looked back at Sally and the other Mobians, they looked like they were at an awkward moment. "Alright, um, You all can go back to doing what you were doing, okay?" they all nodded and went back to their own huts. I turned back around to Sally, "Well, that's a first for me, not the summoning thing, I mean the Dwarves pledging loyalty to me, that was a first, so....Thirsty?" I offered them. Again they declined, I shrugged and headed to my hut, before I entered my hut Sally grabbed my hand. I turned around and looked, "What?" "We don't know where we're going, or what this land really is like, I'm sure we could use a guide through this strange place." "I think I catch your drift, BLOODFIRE!" With that Bloodfire walked out of my Hut. "Yes?" "Your in charge of the villiage after I leave, when I return, I want this place in better condition than when I left it, okay?" "Yes, boss." "Good, tonight, Sally, you and your team shall rest and regain your strength, In the morning we shall head out on a grand adventure." I said, they all seemed pleased at that, I headed into my hut and saw nothing had changed other than the bed had been tossed the stuff on the walls ripped down and the floor was screwed up. Bloodfire entered right after me, I turned around and closed the door after he entered. "Did you do this?" "I thought that this was an abandoned villiage that no one lived in, so I told them to ransack the place, I started ransacking this hut when you came." "Right, I want you to put back everything in it's proper place, then I'll let you be, okay?" "Okay." With that Bloodfire repaired the damage he had done, "Thanks, um, I don't mean to sound rude but,..." "I know, I'm going to go find a different place to sleep, goodnight." "Goodnight, Bloodfire." Bloodfire nodded and walked out, closing the door like he should, I took my shirt off and then my pants, I got in the bed after hideing my cards. (This is so AWESOME, I got to summon MTG creatures, I drank from the Skullmead Cauldron, and I get to go with Sally Alicia Acorn, a Princess and leader of the Freedom Fighters, on an expedition to map out the uncharted territory, and I own it all, again, THIS IS SO AWESOME!!) I thought as I drifted off to sleep, I hoped that the following morning would bring even more adventures in this strange world that I'm in, where the great world of Magic The Gathering and Sonic the Hedgehog existed at the same time, Where I have power that no one else has, at least, I hope no one else has.
