Kharon Weekly Recap March 18-March 21
Kharon Chapter 33
Simone, Jacob and Luke are dashing through the streets of the village. They duck into a house as they turn the corner and quickly close the door behind them.
“Did we lose them?”, asks Jacob. A blade that looks like a cross between an axe and rotating saw then pierces through the wooden door of the shop as an answer.
“Don’t think so”, Simone responds. She turns and looks around the shop and finds several swords mounted against the wall. She grabs two of the biggest off the wall and tosses one of them to Luke. “Open the door.”
“What?!”, cries Jacob.
“Just do what she says dammit!”, bellows Luke. Jacob complies and opens the door as Sloons storm into the house and go after Simone and Luke.
Luke and Simone each fend them off as they move almost like they are in a well choreographed ballet. Simone deflects and does a somersault in the air to avoid a wand blast and as she lands she plunges her sword into a Sloon’s throat. She then kicks a Sloon charging at her with her leg sending the Sloon stumbling towards Luke who without looking jabs his sword behind him impaling the Sloon before going back to punching and swiping other Sloons.
“Your not half bad”, says Simone.
“It pisses me off saying this but you're impressive as well.” With that Simone trips a Sloon with her sword and the Sloon stumbles into Luke’s awaiting fist.
Kharon Chapter 34
Kiarah is back on the bridge of the Kharon steering the ship around the island. Emma and Sparky stand close by watching her. “Are we really going back for the others?”, asks Emma.
“I may be many things but I am a Quarsian first and foremost and so I always stand by my words.” The Kharon makes a sharp turn and heads straight into a canal that runs through the middle of the island.
“Don’t you think this ship’s a little too big for this canal?”
“That it is. But the Kharon can take it. Let’s see if the Sloons can as well.”
As the Kharon travels down the canal it disrupts everything on either side of it leaving a trail of terror and destruction in its wake. The island becomes flooded from the displaced water and Sloons begin to panic.
Kharon Chapter 35
Meanwhile Simone and Luke are fighting Sloons together on a rooftop. Luke becomes frozen in place by the magic of a Sloon. A knife flies through the air and stabs the Sloon releasing Luke.
But then two shiny pendants are thrown through the air and attach to Luke and Simone. They both fall to their knees as they glow. A Sloon holding a crystal glowing the same color as the pendants approaches Simone and Luke smiling. “Now I’ve got you.” Just as he finishes saying this he is electrocuted and the crystal falls out of his hand as he collapses to the ground. Simone and Luke rip the pendants of themselves and look up to see what happened.
Jacob approaches them smiling holding Luke’s recently fired electric-snake-gun. In his other hand he holds the hilt of Simone’s fire sword as well as his wind tunnel weapon. He tosses Luke and Simone their respective weapons. “Looky what I found.” Explosions and screams are then heard and the threesome turn towards the direction they came from. Their eyes grow wide with surprise as the sight of the Kharon barreling up the canal.
“I think our ride is here.”
The trio make their way to the Kharon but just as they are about to reach it three sorceresses appear in their path blocking their way. Each sorceress holds a different arcane magical weapon. Simone who still has stolen vials of oil on her takes the vials and flings them to the ground smashing them. “Jacob fire your weapon.” As Simone says this she takes out the hilt of her fire sword and ignites it. She uses the weapon to light the oil on fire. Jacob’s gun then blows the fiery mist from the oil onto the sorceresses but it also blows the fiery mist towards a building behind the sorceresses marked oil refinery.
Luke upon seeing this yells, “Take cover everyone!” The trio duck out of the way as the refinery explodes. They watch as the explosion sets off a chain reaction and like dominos falling buildings all along the strip as the entire city block goes up in flames.
Simone shakes her head. “Told you they like their oil and crystals here.”
Kharon Chapter 36
Simone, Luke and Jacob enter the bridge of the Kharon. Luke points his weapon at Kiarah who is concentrating on piloting the ship. “You’re dead bitch!” Luke fires his weapon but Kiarah without so much as turning around dodges the projectile.
Emma now steps in-between Kiarah and Luke. “Take it easy! She saved us.”
“Like hell she did! She almost got me sacrificed. If it wasn’t for Simone I’d be dead.”
“I knew you would evade your captors but I needed a ruse to reclaim the ship and destroy the Sloons once and for all.”
“I’m getting tired of being played by this Quarsian. I say we cut her up in pieces and throw them to the fishes! Whose with me?”
Everyone evades Luke’s gaze.
“Don’t get me wrong I’m pretty pissed she almost got me killed but I’m not taking on a Quarsian on account of your ass”, says Jacob.
Simone shrugs. “I mean you gotta admit it did work.”
“I don’t believe you people. You can all go fuck yourselves”, says Luke in frustration as he storms off to stew.
Kiarah then smiles and says, “Well will you look at that. It’s the monolith finally revealed.”
The others all turn towards the view screen and see a towering marble monolith before them on the island.
“I don’t recall that being there before”, says Jacob.
“It wasn’t. At least not that we could see. You three must have done something special because no one has ever been able to find it.”
“What is it?”, asks Emma.
“The legendary source of their power that they kept hidden with their spells. Until now that is.” Kiarah then aims all the Kharon’s weapon systems at the monolith and fires. As the monolith is destroyed the entire island begins to shake and quake. It fragments into pieces that then go sinking into the ocean. Within minutes any trace of the island is gone. Jacob, Simone, and Emma all look at each other in bewilderment. Kiarah smirks, “Now we can leave.”
“Did we just destroy another entire island”, asks Simone.
“Damn that’s hardcore. What did they ever do to you?”, asks Jacob.
“They played Metron and my people against each other for ages.”
“Note to self, don’t mess with Kiarah”, says Jacob.
