The Argon Visitation

By Charles Duncan

Sometime in the early 80's, Argon, who had a lot of madness go on in his head, personally took Lawrence out for a while to have a discussion, especially with some  beings who thought It would be funny to use Lawrence for a while.. in some experiments.

Lawrence said, "What do you want with me?", and Argon said.. "I have it on good authority that you've been doing things to a lot of people lately, and I'm personally going to end your reign of terror.. because I can do a lot of things.."

"Reign of terror", Lawrence said, "Indeed.. All I'm trying to do is be inventive and go for a ride, but NOOO, you personally had to interfere.. I even warned some people about your vast powers while I was trying to buy a COW!"

"Really, indeed", Argon said as he prepared to exit.. "Well, to be honest, I don't think there's much you can do once I personally finish with you.. as well as the many within me who ask this of me."

"Many.. WITHIN YOU", Lawrence said.

"Many, indeed", Argon said, "For my mind is like a colony of smaller lives that can reconfigure.. of varied energies.. and I am very important, for anyone who found out about my abilities to be many as needed could use it to personal gain.. and perhaps in taking on your abilties I will grow far beyond what I am capable of now!! And teleporting you out of there was just one of the many powers I possess.. that you did not have the ability to block at the time. "

And in many voices, Argon transformed into varied similar forms of his, one after another, that Lawrence almost got sick on.. very disturbed ones indeed.

"And do you see the position you're in", Argon said after Lawrence got madder than usual..  "Because they're telling me to experiment on you , then destroy you, and personally take you within. And noone really can help you now."

Lawrence said.. "I've a bad feeling someone might."

Later that day, those on the Neverrest, after getting word on what Lawrence had been doing, had been settling in as Long-glory, not really sure what kind of popcorn that Light-wave liked, made some anyway because they were watching the movie that Carolina made.. that had finally made video, and some of them were laughing.. especially Ann, who hadn't seen anything that funny in years.. when Casey stepped out of the control room, and said.. "We're nearing something pretty bad, people.. try to calm down".

Sadly, Ann didn't like the part where the credits ended.. but everyone else took it in stride as they saw a strangely massive yet small and green sphere not far from the NEverrest, floating along nearby.. as Casey said.. "Well, what do we make of this?"

"Honestly", Longglory said.. "Us not being destroyed... for It looks a few years ahead of its time, that thing out there."

"Nonsense", said Speedster... We just personally have to make sure somehow.. that we can keep up.. for I sense a lot of evil on there."

"Evil, huh", Halifax said.. "That I think I can handle.. think we can get it to land because I wouldn't be too crazy to get close to it.. especially with Wilson acting so wierd since we left Summerien. " 

"Well, Go for it", Speedster said, as the Neverrest prepared to reenter the atmosphere, to personally board the entity floating around, trying to rub up against the force fields of the Neverrest.. and cause it damage. "But remember.. I'm not having you replaced if you fail."

And so, Halifax disappeared as the Neverrest began landing somewhere on the ground.. and was barely there for a minute or so when he was sent back, mostly bruised and battered, moaning.. "That was not a pleasant experience". And ann, Looking at Halifax, said.. "Any Idea who was in that thing?"

Halifax said.. "A really wierd cat, Lawrence, and a lot of voices."

Casey said, "Well, we should be landing any time soon.. hopefully we can deal with this."

Just then, as the ship Landed, a beam came out of the green entity, blasting a hole in the ship, as Argon exited the green sphere... A cat about 4 feet tall, but with a lot of cruelty in his eyes.. and told them... "Stay out of this, for Lawrence is Mine to deal with.. as he has done a lot of things you have no idea about.. even during your vacation."

"And you're Lawrence, I suppose", Halifax said as Argon dumped out Lawrence indeed, mostly being probed and stuff, right on Halifax's head. "Well, you're not welcome here!"

"Who cares how welcome I am", Argon said, "For whatever inventive genius Lawrence has, I shall use to someday bring great pain to the universe indeed.. as I have many more powers than you will ever AARRGHH".. as Lightwave, not far from Argon, kicked him in the back of the head.. and shoved his face into the floor. "Don't bother my boyfriend", she said over and over as she dealt with Argon pretty harshly.

Meanwhile, while Casey boarded the ship, and examined it for anything of use as well as evidence, he saw Lawrence contained and sighed.. "Man.. what did you do?"

Lawrence replied.. "It's not what I've done at this time, but what I might do someday.. for while I've been in Argon's Custody, he's told me a lot of things I've not believed I'll be capable of.. especially the technology I'll create in years to come.. and He thinks I should stop it before I cause more pain."

"Well, You're going back to wherever you came from", Casey said, as he was suddenly blindsided..by something very fast.

Lawrence said.. "You should watch out.. the defenses on this ship are very cruel indeed.. and I've tried to defeat them.. And though apparently even if Argon loses, this ship still has his intent on taking me away to be dealt with. And for one .. I personally don't want to be near him right now considering what he has on his mind."

"Well", Casey said.. "You're getting out of here.", as he used his weapon to carve away the technology trying to devour him.. and contain him.. which Wilson didn't seem too afraid of as he stuck his head in.. dragging Argon behind him.

"The Heck?", Wilson said as a beam from the ship personally, indeed, tried to blast him for a while.. and tried to contain him, making him drop Argon who slumped to the ground.. apparently dazed and in little condition to get up, as the ship grabbed Argon as well, and pulled him in... Allowing Casey to manage to remove Lawrence briefly from where he was captured, but indeed, both got kicked out as something strange happened to Wilson, who was caught briefly.. and tossed aside into the neverrest. 

A voice said "Get out", as the other Incorporateds tried to personally charge the sphere, but were pushed aside, with Casey dumped out and the sphere taking off at incredible speeds far, far off.. into what seemed to be other times and worlds.

And speedster, who got out and felt the ship leave, said.. "OHH, you just keep on running, Lawrence, and you and your friend, Argon, .. and you just keep on running, for someday I will catch up to you.. and make you both pay".

The Incorporateds got out, and saw the burned area where the sphere was, as Casey said.. "Man.. that was a downer... but Is it me or is something happening to Wil..son", and Casey looked at Wilson somehow.. change.

Later that day, as the Incorporated's ship repaired itself, Casey managed to track down the ship not far from Sangurian space when Argon, perhaps 
perturbed a bit by a lot of things that might had been in Lawrence's mind at the time.. had dumped Lawrence right in the middle of San Green, a city where often many sangurians had taken vacations.. a world that it was imagined, would be the hub of legends yet to be borne..... and he looked at Wilson a lot.. and stared indeed.. into what he thought was multiple realities, perhaps for the first time in forever.. especially into himself, which he began to doubt a lot of in some of his thoughts, his pasts... and even futures. 

"We still can catch up to Argon", Lightwave said.. "But we'll have to be a lot more careful If we meet with him again.. for I saw a lot of things in that loser he was capable of.. as if he'd been waiting for his moment a very long time."

"So I hope so", Casey said.. "For I'm going to personally get that Argon taken down.. as He's not getting away with what he's doing to Wilson."

"What do you think's being done to Wilson", Ann said as she stared at Wilson shift in and out into varied things..

"Being given, Indeed, what I hope someday.. the wake up call of his life."

Speedster said.. "Way things are going.. It'll soon be the wake up call of HER Life."

And with that, the neverrest continued on, on a long road to destiny that they all wondered about.. in the distant stars around and beyond. 

And to conclude, indeed.. Long-glory hoped that Windbreaker wasn't going to get sick on the peppermint popcorn she had, because she was eating an awful lot of it.. as if she hadn't eaten in a while since their adventure together.
