The pure smell of evil.  He opens his eyes and six Blood Queens attack him with their staffs.It is no challenge for him to avoid the six attacks.  He then turns to shot her at point blank range.  A staff head strikes his wrist..hard.  His fingers go numb and he can’t fire the weapon.  A third swing “hits” his head.  An illusion!  It passed completely through him.He swings at the closest image.  He gives a 1-2 and 3 punch and her image fades away.  A sharp strike to the head confirms his immediate thought- wrong one.“Look ya ugly puss bag excuse for life- I don’t know who you are.  I am Megamania- not Shadowman.  I don’t like magic and it doesn’t like me.  You stink of evil and I don’t think twenty bathes will get it off of me.  So bugger off!”  He swings into empty air again. “F***!”“Do you ...have to use …that word ...everyday?”  Asks the Captain as he tries to crawl out of the deep hole he was pushed into.“Hey Cap…I’m much better than her.  I have more purity in my finger (you guess which one he holds up) than she does in her whole body!”  His inattention to her allows a solid groin shot.  “Argh…you dirty old b****!”  Swings and misses.  “Not many left!”A look of fear and alarm begins to form on her blackened dirty and diseased face.  The Shadowman is strong.  Very strong.“I will kill you Shadowman  ….with my most powerful magic!”The Captain cries out an alarm as the room is lit up by a blast of lightning striking Megamania at point blank range.  He had no opportunity to move or dodge.The Captain struggles to get over the edge of the hole.  He figures Jim to be dead.  He runs over and sees the old hags backing up in fear.  Before her is Megamania.  He is resting on one knee.  Steam is rising from his body.  A scorch mark on his armor that covers his entire chest.  He is looking at the burn and touching it tentatively.  Then he looks up at her.  Under his mask he has the smile of a child in a toy store before Christmas.  “Did I ever tell you I’m on a mission for god?”“Noooooooo!   I am undone!   Beajeer has left me!  My magics fail!”  The old woman turns to run.  Megamania easily trips her with an outstretched foot.  She hits the ground hard.  The Captain stands up, his large shield shining even in this darkness.  He is studying Jim’s moves and temperment.  She gets up and tries to attack him…both of them try to attack him.  He is careful to line up both images and indeed the punch goes through one but strikes the final image whom goes down again.  He begins to feel guilty about beating on the old woman but then she rises with yellow eyes and long teeth.  She is not human.Several quick and solid hits later she staggers back.  “I curse you!” she screams before falling onto a start rock that snaps her head and kills her.“Uh…. That was weird”“Jim…what Christina said…” he is cut off as the head rolls around to see Megamania.  The yellow eyes are still rolled and unfocused but the mouth speaks-Cries of Doom will defenses be crushed Friends and Allies raise shield and swordYou will run from the battle feeling rushedAnd as a result, a friend will die by your good wordTo avoid this horrible fateYou have but to face your death Battle it with desire and purity; not hateOr the battle will take your last breathThen a cackle begins and continues even after Megamania shrugs his shoulders and leaves the cavern room leaving a fearful Captain behind.  He stares at the undead creature…mulling over its words carefully.  Fear of Christina’s warning grows with each cackle.Then he too leaves….  as the cackles continue.</blockquote>
