The Hyena Catastrophe by charles duncan At a hospitable place somewhere in the Milky way, Casey, near death, was trying to recover from massive injuries a thessun had inflicted on him.. and Moore, a hyena friend of his, was not far off, and trying to get people to understand what had happened, as to why so many people had simply turned up missing somehow.. especially a few among them.. who weren't really comprehending indeed, what fate had spared them from perhaps all over the universe.. as well as indeed, a strange joke. And not far off, a entity named Myriad, who probably hadn't fared well thanks to the kiljam, floated, trying indeed to talk to people who might not have understood what had gone on.. indeed, for they had suffered a lot. A beautiful yellow stream in the form of a schoolgirl she existed as , as indeed many voices merged into one harmonious and sometimes unnerved one.. who often had not done much for the incorporateds in the past, but with very few incorporateds known at the time, any hand they could have in the battle... was a welcome one. Moore then personally went to Casey's side and told him.. "I do hope you get over this soon.. for I'm not sure who's going to lead the incorporateds after your passing on.. As somehow someone wished death on you you're having trouble escaping." "Then", Casey said.. "I hope to leave it in your capable hands.. as I know you've really proven yourself to be a hero.. yeah, a real hero.. this day.. But as for me, well, sadly.. I may not be that way for a lot of things done in my name over the years." "Man", Moore said.. "I know the feeling.. And I will give it a try.. regardless of the outcome." Long-glory, having come in, suddenly said... "I miss Wilson.. and somehow.. I even miss Halifax.. anyone heard from them lately?" Moore replied.. "Take a look in the mirror... I think you became one with them." Moore wandered the hospital for a while as he checked out things... indeed.. concerned very much with some of the others.. and found Scarf mostly okay, though often complaining that a old 'semi-friend' of hers called Gauze had been trying to fight her lately.. and she was just trying to deal with things indeed.. on personal levels.. and that she felt bad about Zephyr vanishing during the whole conflict.. and wondered indeed, where did she wind up? And thusly, indeed, just before moore left the hospital, Casey, who wasn't in the best of affairs, found himself given a list.. a list Casey had often kept in his mind, but rarely gave out.. A strange list of their worst enemies Casey had thought about would probably be at risk.. as he had seen it in a vision. "And you want me to do what", Moore said. Casey replied.. "Warn them.. that I indeed, believe hell is on the way for them...I can't help but see coming." "Do not worry, friend.. I shall do it." Casey then said.. "Do it indeed.. for it might be the last thing I ever ask of you.. as I don't think I will make the evening", as he collasped with the words.. "And try not to save me.. for I indeed may deserve the death I've had coming for years." Moore then sighed as he left .. "Once again.." Later that day, Long-glory, Moore, and Scarf left, to board a ship called the Lorngus in the hopes that they could find Wrenchien and begin to protect those who'd been threated... which indeed, seemed to be a list of great enemies the Incorporateds had over the years.. a great and long list of them, in alphabetical order.. and almost tear-stained as if regret itself had written them. And waiting on the ship was someone named Mindninja, who had often been training Moore in the use of his powers in the past, and who'd survived the war.. and someone named Daydreamer who'd recently and mysteriously returned...who apparently was along for the ride, as well as Myriad... and as Moore, feeling indeed that Casey might not make it through the night, sighed as he left the planet.. for great adventures.. adventures that would take him far from his world.. And far from those who loved him.. Moore thought as the stars beckoned, and a team he hoped he could trust was by him with a list of villians Casey felt should be warned.. indeed, about a couple of years of hell ahead for them.. "Let's ride". ---- Somewhere on the planet , and the galaxy, indeed.. where Thessun and his forces stayed.. Thessun returned to his capital, and prepared indeed to send his worst... for indeed.. the battle of a lifetime. And of his many who followed him, Thessun indeed asked of those closest to him... "Tell me.. what is a hyena?"
