Apocalypse Dawns

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 20281

Fred recovers Velus' remains and places them in a strongbox in case of further revelations. Just then a loud rumbling is heard. The Last Shoggoth, the feared Shoagoath Prime, was awakening.

"Damn!" Fred said. "I was afraid of this!"

"What exactly is going to happen?" Astra asked.

"The Last Shoggoth is alive!" Fred growled.

"How big is the final Shoggoth?"

"It is a god-creature, giant as the sky, and insane enough to eat mountains. When it attacks, it spews clouds of poisonous gas into the air, destroying all other life to achieve it's demented vision of utopia."

"It destroys all other life?!" Astra asked wide-eyed. "Wouldn't it get lonely?"

"In any case." Fred said. "We have to stop it! The Shoggoth that gave up it's soul becomes the host for Shoagoath Prime. It will increase in size quickly... but if I strike fast and hard I may yet have a chance to beat him off!"

"What do you mean?! I'm coming with you!"

"No Astra it's too dangerous!"

Suddenly a noise interrupted them. The largest clown they had ever seen stood at the door, a gaggle of smaller clowns behind him. "I'm Bozo!" roared the clown. "And you pathetic weaklings are about to taste defeat!"

The smaller clowns raced forward, wailing and gibbering maniacally. These were no ordinary clowns, Fred realized a moment too late. Before he or Astra could do a thing, the clowns all exploded, sending chunks of meat and dizzying gas fumes spilling into the chamber. Fred found himself on the floor. Astra lay unconscious beside him. Fred tried to move, but he was too weak. Bozo picked him up and laughed. "Ha Ha Ha, you fool! I might not be able to kill you cuz' you're a Shoggoth, but I certainly can toss you where you won't do any harm to our plans. And in the meanwhile, I'll take real good care of your girlfriend, Ha Ha Ha!!!"

"No, damn you! Put me down!" Fred protested as Bozo carried him to a narrow grate in the floor.

"As you wish!!!" the clown roared with laughter, and threw the grate open, thereafter chucking Fred inside. Fred screamed in anger as he hurtled down many, many stories, finally landing on his head in a large pile of dragon droppings. He had been thrown into the Dragon's sewage system.

Slowly, agonizingly, the effects of the clown gas went away and Fred sat up, groaning. Unexpectedly, his backpack began to glow, and the ghost of Velus appeared! It hovered in the air and moaned...

  1. "Fred, you've gotta save Astra! She is the Chosen One - the only one who can defeat the Last Shoggoth!"
  2. "Fred, there's no time to save Astra! You've got to battle the Last Shoggoth before it's too late!
  3. "You let me die, you son of a bitch! Now I serve the Last Shoggoth, and I'm gonna kill you!
  4. "Did you say you were going to beat him off?"
