Happyman's Next Mission

"Wasn't my fault, man, chill!" responded Happyman, remembering the last time he had been punished and not really wanting it to happen again. "I mean, they just vanished!"

The demon frowned, narrowing his eyes. "They?"

"There was this other guy, this scrawny elf guy from that one kick-ass video game. I was gonna kill him, but he just vanished and took the girl with him."

"I see. Somehow, I can't follow their dimensional path. How interesting. I shall have to send the Hellkites after them." He handed Happyman a small parchment. "The names of your next targets are written on this parchment. Read it." Happyman opened his mouth wide and popped the parchment in. His face grew green with sickness, and he quickly vomited it up. (Along with a small naked singularity.) "I said read it," said the exasperated demon.

Happyman opened the parchment and picked it up, turning it around a few times to try to find the right way of looking at it. "Ok... Wait, isn't this Crucius guy evil himself? Not that I don't want to kill him or anything, but why do you want to?"

The demon sighed, realizing that he had to explain a very complicated subject to a very simple-minded... thing. "There's evil and then there's evil. This man is a worshipper the Great Old Ones. He wants to destroy the multiverse, not dominate it. If he succeeds in tapping the powers he plans to, he would be just as much of a threat as the forces of good."

"Oh, OK," said Happyman. He bit a huge hole in reality and dived into it once more. The demon sighed with exasperation and put on his cloak, draping his hood over his head. He faded into a dark shadow which itsel seemed tof dissolve into nothingness.

1. Happyman arrived in Crucius's reality.
2. The demon descended to the nether-realms to release some Hellkites and set them on this Stacy's scent.
