We've had a few brawls and smaller fights, but now it's time for a more epic battle!

Becky and Fumblies are back together again, and this time, we get a guest in on the action. It's also the first time since the Knob Goblins supporting Becky and Fumblies's were fleshed out via earlier roleplays.

Just a bit of humor and trash talk here, this one is more or less a Sir Fumblies story from beginning to end, just one that happens to guest star Becky and Daisuke (Written here by his creator, Catrina's handler, fittingly.) It's a good story that picks the action up for the mission.

While the big undead mass slowly rose from the earth a rumbling sound is heard as the ground started to shake.

The undead mass turns out to be that of a half decayed beast with tattered wings. Upon seeing the rotting carcass rise up the Scaros and the rest of the Knobs step back in fear as they know what the undead critter is. Fumblies steps back to converse with Scaros. As the pair talk, one of the other Knobs, a skinny weaselly looking fellow named Zapin, joins the conversation. "Sir I am not sure what happened here but we are up against someone or something that is vastly powerful," Zapin says this with a slightly panicked tone in his voice.

"What makes you say that Zapin?" Fumblies asks this with a bit of impatience as he had already guessed that something powerful was at work. Before replying Fumblies looks over to where the rest of the unit was waiting under the unit's war banner. He ponders the situation a moment then sighs knowing that the next few moments would be important. With a nod towards Scaros and Zapin, Fumblies leads the way to the the others.

Meanwhile the undead had gone back to their previous motions with both sides of the undead trying to kill the others once more. The half decayed winged finally rises to its full height of nearly 15 feet. It whips its head around as if searching for something then suddenly snaps its head down to eat a mixed group of undead KOKOL and Knobs. Zapin sees this and shudders slightly. "Well Sir that is the reanimated half decayed corpse of a dragon."

Fumblies looks at Zapin with a bit of confusion in his eyes as he ponders what was being said. He knows what a dragon is but he finds it hard to believe that a dragon had died here recently enough to only be half decayed. So with that in mind Fumblies has to wonder who is in control of the undead. After about a minute or two Fumblies wonders if there were ninjas involved with this situation at hand but knew that he had to deal with the problem at hand. "So how do we get rid of it Zapin?"

"Well honestly I would just stay out of its way." The answer is spoken with a high edge of approaching panic as the ground starts to shake again. Looking towards the undead dragon Fumblies sees that it is headed right towards his squad. As soon as he sees this he takes a deep breath and begins to concentrate while Scaros begun to issue orders. "Form up and prepare for the worst; we can only die once."

"I beg to differ Commander." This is spoken by one of the other members of the squad as he nods towards the battle field below. As the squad gets prepared the undead below had started to attack the the dragon as he keeps moving toward Fumblies and his command. As soon the squad is ready Fumblies looks at Zapin and the other magic users in the group Bones and Charr. When he feels all four are ready for action Fumblies gives the order to unleash their spells.

With the order given a large fire ball and a lighting bolt fly from the group to hit the undead dragon in its side. Additionally, a few of the undead Knobs start to move into a defensive parameter around the group while Bones keeps chanting. Fumblies spell is a bit more complicated and as it hits the undead dragon it starts to grow. Seeing this Fumblies utters a few rather inventive and anatomically impossible phrases as he had messed up his aim.

All the while Zapin and Charr are still flinging their fire balls and lightning bolts at the undead monstrosity. The spells seems to little to stop the undead dragon as it keeps on moving towards the squad's position. The dragon keeps lashing its head from side to side before lunging forward, as soon as it is just out of biting range it rears its head back and seems to breath in deeply. Seeing this Scaros gives the order for the rest of the squad to scatter in order to take up better positions.

Zapin and Charr start to fling their spells at the undead dragon while quickly moving to different positions. Bones sends the undead goblin that he had managed to take over against the dragon while Fumblies prepared a spell. Fumblies takes a step back in order to get a better aim and slips on loose rock. He falls down and hits his head and unleashes his spell which turns and passing by bird into a giant toad. As result of hitting his head Fumblies is momentarily knocked out. As well he avoids being hit with a blast of acid breath as the bird that was now a giant toad lands on the dragon's back.

The dragon roars and turned toward Fumblies, but a blast of frigid ice catches the back of its head. It turned to the source of the new attack only to be pelted in the face by several high speed snowballs scattered among a powerful snowstorm.

"Hey, you big zombie dragon, you stop that right now!" Becky Joy calls, wielding her focusing device, a toy yeti, with surprisingly powerful ice magic. Behind her stood her team of four Knob Goblins, 3 male, one female.

Scaros and the other Knob Goblins use the distraction to regroup and set up a better attack. Fumblies regains consciousness and then slowly stands up and turns himself invisible. Once Invisible he sees a set of glowing foot prints leading into the center of the undead zone. Fumblies curses under his breath as he approaches the distracted undead dragon and starts to attack it with some fancy sword play. All around him fire balls, lighting bolts and snowballs all thudded into the monster.

Having yet to lower his invisibility spell Fumblies is hit in the back of the head with a snowball which causes him to hit the ground with a thud and turn partially visible once more. As Fumblies falls a few forms move around him in invisible realm. The undead Knobs under the power of the surprisingly skilled Bones start to hack into the undead dragon's side. This causes the monster to step back as half decayed nerve endings fire off to its half decayed brain. While the undead dragon retreats with a pain filled roar Fumblies' partially seen but still solid body comes back into view.

One of the Knobs with Scaros sees Fumblies and points to the fallen and unconscious klutz of a knight. Scaros begins to set up a retrieval mission while having the squad keep up the attack on the dragon. Becky's four Knob Goblins rush over to help as Becky taunts it calling it ugly and blasting it with an ever increasing amount of ice magic.

Scaros and one of the others pull Fumblies back up the hill as the undead dragon sudden falls to ground in a heap as the spell animating it is cancelled out by a now frazzled looking Bones. Fumblies starts to stir while flickering in and out of visibility.

"You can stop hiding, Mr. Fumblies, it's safe now!" Becky tells him excitedly, bounding up and down like a schoolgirl. Fumblies shakes his head and look down seeing his half invisibleness while rubbing the back of his head. He turns invisible then back to completely visible as he shakes his head again. "I wasn't hiding and it is not safe here."

"How come not come?!" Becky asks. "We gotta protect our Goblin buddies!"
But that's all they could come out before the dragon rushes at the mob of Knob Goblins as Bones falls to the ground unconscious and sent them flying everywhere! Becky cowers, afraid. She then gets a serious look in her eyes, as she prepares to fight with all her might!

Suddenly from the right comes a rush of tawny fir than suddenly leaps at the dragon- as Daisuke lands against the monster's thigh and holds on with sharp claws digging in. He holds on tight for a few moments, wrapping his powerful legs around the Dragon's as it tries to kick him off, then starts the arduous climb up to its back.

Fumblies gets to his feet and looks around while shaking the cobwebs out of his head. With a sigh he looks at the dragon and then sees what was happening and helps Scaros and Becky gather the knobs back into some semblance of order.
Meanwhile the dragon turns to snap at the attacker on its back- only to reel as it's head is batted away by a strong fist. This isn't to say the attack had no use at defending himself; it causes Daisuke to loose his purchase and fall with a roar. He shakes himself as he rises and claws at the dragon's body for a moment- trying to get its attention. "Come on, worm! Time to pick on someone more your own size!"

"Let's beat it up and go play Charades in Degrassi Knoll!" Becky sings merrily, trying to freeze the dragon's tail in place.

As the dragon reacts by snapping at Becky, Daisuke dashes in and bashes the dragon's head again- causing a few more rotted teeth to fly out and its head to almost spin completely around. What is holding this thing together other than the magic? he wonders, although he suspects the answer to be ...nothing at all.

"Zapin and Charr you able to do a few more spells?" Fumblies asks his two spell casters as he sees an opportunity to end this thing. Seeing the two Knobs nod Fumblies knows that he could make this work. He casts an enlarge spell on Daisuke. While he did this fire balls and lightning bolts hit the undead dragon's sides just as it starts to shrink back to normal size due to Fumblies' last spell having worn off.

At first Daisuke reacts with surprise, but as he sees himself growing to meet the shrinking dragon, he purrs. As they stand eye to eye he grins toothily- yes showing fang by more that that he's pretty happy about this turn of events. "As I was sayin' bonehead!" He then let loose with his best uppercut, knocking the dragon head over tail before diving upon him with an earth rocking thud.

"That'e one big kitty!" Red, one of Becky's four Knob Goblins, comments, as the dragon and the extra large Daisuke continue to battle.

"Yeah," his brother Green answers. "I'd hate to have to change his kitty litter."

"Now that the dragon is dealt with for the moment who can go invisible or make invisible things visible?" Fumblies asks with slight frown on his lips as Zapin and Charr drop to their knees to rest.

"I don't get what you're asking, sir," Becky's lead Goblin, Darson, asks. "Could you explain more clearly what you wish?"

"Well there is a set of glowing foot prints heading into the undead battle field that can only be seen if you are invisible," Fumblies says with a thoughtful frown.

"Are they yours?!" Becky asks. "Maybe you were out here scouting and when you came back, you saw them?"

"No they aren't as I didn't do any scouting."

"Me, neither, it's so boring!" Becky sits down and pulled a yoyo out of one of her many pockets.

"Yeah, I hear ya," Green answers. "I always get stuck on scout duty!"

"Well I like to go scouting as it allows me to see what is up ahead." This is said by a thin twitchy looking Knob in Fumblies' group by the name of Twitch.

"That is good to know Twitch; I will keep that in mind." This is spoken by Scaros who had walked up to join the conversation.

"I just look for a guide book," Red says, drawing Goblina's laughter.

Green rolls his eyes. "Hey, where are you guys headed, anyway? We got called down to Degrassi."

"We are headed to Seaside Town," Scaros comments with a nod towards the undead.

"Oh coolies, then I guess we're like two ships passing in the night," Becky says, putting her yoyo away and daydreaming about a cruise to the Mysterious Island.

Becky's eyes went wide. "You should buy the new Bloodworks comicbook!"

Fumblies just shakes his head as he ponders the mystery of just how to make the others see the invisible glowing foot steps. As he does the undead dragon slowly gets up from where it had fallen and starts to fly off.

A friend of mine, Mario, has voted for AiL a few times in the past as a favor on my part. He'd gotten me to get active in e-wrestling sometime in late 2009. I got a couple friends to join me, including Catrina's handler, and we formed a four person stable.

Skipping on a few of the details, Cat and I managed to get a couple of the handlers to join AiL in return. The handlers for Max and Sir Fumblies.

The "Bloodworks" comic Becky randomly hypes is the name of his stable from the e-wrestling federation, if you wondered.

We've got a variety of characters over the next few roleplays. Samus XTreme, the Bearsmashers, and more Sir Fumblies, as well as the debut of Aleena.

But next up? Sebastian Dash regains consciousness!
