Twilight of the Fourth Shoggoth?

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 14140

Astra drew a longsword of shining blue steel. "Tis the redeemer's justice!" she cried and struck Fred a lethal blow across the head.

"Ouch!" said Fred. "You'll have to do better than that. I am a Shoggoth, you know."

His head, nearly rent in twain by the attack, slid back together with a popping sound. "Gladly." Astra said, hate burning in her eyes. She took a step back, inhaled, exhaled, and launched into a dizzying series of sword strikes, cutting Fred open at the waist, mid-shoulder and scrotum. Fred's head fell the ground, lolling about.

"Impressive." said the Dragon.

"Damn!" said Fred's head. "I had forgotten that Shaggoths have this kind of regenerative powers!"

His body slid back together, and Fred lay on the ground dejectedly. "Okay, Astra." he said. "Now try hacking me to pieces and then having the Dragon burn what's left with his breath."

"Gross!" Astra said. "What kind of a creature are you, anyway?"

"I hate to break up this conversation, truly I do." said the Dragon with a tired look in his eyes. "But you two are interfering with my beauty sleep. Could you come back in a century or two?"

"Dragon, you don't understand!" cried Astra. "This... Fred before you is an incredibly powerful and evil supernatural being, that seeks to kill you, and with your blood, resurrect an evil Shaggoth that will destroy all of humanity! But now it seems to be struggling with it's human side, and..."

"Silence!" roared the Dragon. "Your display has made my bloodlust run wild. Now pay for your sins with the flames of purification!"<P. It reared up on it's haunches, it's maw flickering with fire. Fred and Astra are left with two options.

  1. Fight the Dragon together.
  2. Run and settle their differences outside.
