Mukumuku Chapter 2
"Stopping the Crusher"
(Area around Harmonia)


Recollecting what had happened, MukuMuku silently brooded over the last hours events. He had killed his father, and almost killed his brothers. The Soul Crusher gave out a laugh in his head. He needed to either learn how to controll the Soul Crushe- The sword lets out a cold laugh- or destroy it. At this, the blade screamed hysterically in his mind. But what could he do? OF COURSE! The wise squirrel, HE would know what to do! So Muku starts the long flight to the wise squirrels home...

*************************Wise Squirrels Home**************************

*Knock, Knock, Knock* The sound of MukuMuku's strong fist against the cold door could be heard. "Who is it", the wise squirrel asked in mid-knick. "Me", said Muku coldly. "Ahh, MukuMuku, I have been expecting you", he said softly. "WHY DIDN"T YOU HEL-" said Mu , bet he was interrupted by the wise one. "My son, I could not advert it, but I may know a way that you can stop the event from EVER happening", the wise one spoke. "HOW!" "Well, it is dangerous, and all that you have now that you reveived after the burning of Fliks fort will b-", said the squirrel, but he was interrupted. "To change this fowl history, anything", he spoke, with fear AND courage. "Well, it will involve me doing an ancient ritual, that is very dangerous, and you changing history for the better", spoke the wise one. "Anything", spoke Mu. "Well, before the fort is burned down, gom to this place, *hands MukuMuku a map* and will have to, kill *at this Muku gulped*, this person", spoke he who is wise. "Fine", spoke MukuMuku, with a bit of hope, and the feeling that though he does not like it, he MUST kill that person. "When your mission is accomplished, you will lose all that was given to you after the burning of the Merc Fort, and will forget your future. The ritual to get you back in time is not dangerous, but the travel is. SO BE CAREFUL!", spoke the wise squirrel slowly. "I accept", spoke Mu doubtedly. "Fine", replied the wise one. After about a month, it was ready. "Are you sure about this, because if you do not kill him, then all hope is lost", spoke the wise squirrel. "Yes." "Then just step into the magic potion, and you will go when (so to speak)you need to", spoke the wise squirrel, with much doubt. Slowly MukuMuku walked toward the cauldron. Lifting his foot to the cauldron, he slowly put it back down, and stared at the wise squirrel intently. "Why hasn;t the Soul Crusher told me to kill you yet?" he asked, wondering what the reply would be. But the wise one just laughed. Slowly, MukuMuku put his body into the potion, and instantly was transported to what looked like the area around muse, but different. OF COURSE! This was nine years ago, muse was in better shape now. He lifted up the map, and looked at it. He lifted off, and set off towards his destination. In mid-flight, he was recalling the answer the wise man had given him..."whatever", he thought. "I just need to concentrate on the task at hand." And with that, he sped off.

***************************Hidden Underground*************************

At the place, he was surprised. This looked like the plot of ground that the wise man's house was on. No matter. He stepped into the cave in front of him, and hears cold, dark laughter, that of both the Soul Crusher, and another squirrel. As he stepped into the main halll, and light, he froze dead in his tracks. At the other end of the hall, was the wise squirrel. "So nice oof you to come!" crackeled the squirrel. "I knew my future self would send you, and just before my chance to rule over all."At the squirrels side, was the Soul Crusher. So that is why the wise squirrel laghed. But now he needed to stop this monster. "I WILL stop you, and break the power of the sword YOU forged", he spoke coldly. "Those stories were lies. 500 years ago, your ancesters tried to rule, but failed. When you were born, you trained and trained, and the formed the Soul Crusher to help your evil desire. Well, I WILL STOP YOU!" "FOOL! You cannot beat me, for I will KILL you now", spoke the squirrel. "But why did your future self put me to kill you?" Muku asked. "Because he knew I would defeat you", spoke the squirrel coldly, and with that, he dashed at MukuMuku. Slashing, he cut a deep wound in MukuMuku, the Crusher cut through even theSquirrel mail. Muku was in pain, but knew he must be stopped. The other squirrel dashed in to make the kill, but was suddenly stopped. By instinct, MukuMuku had gathered his remaining will power and strength, and used the Squirrel Lord rune to its full extent. Though not under complete control, the other squirrel was daze, and that is when MukuMuku slowly raised his right palm. "FINAL FLAME!!!", he yelled. A insignia of flame surrounded his hand, and suddenly a huge fireball formed. THe ball rose up, then slammed into the other squirrel, killing him. "THAT IS WHAT YOU GET!!!!!!!", he spoke darkly. But he was now thinking about what the wise one had said, he would now forget his future, and lose all my presents...

MukuMuku slowly left the cave, his strength drained. The Soul Crusher at his side was broken, its creator defeated. Slowly, MukuMuku was compelled to fly. After what seemed about hours, the squirrel mail, rage cloak, Squirrel Lord rune, and Soul Crusher all dissapeard. He was getting VERY dizzy. His "memory" of his "future" was gone. He saw his own 6 year old self, and they hit each other, but no sound was heard, instead, they merged, then fainted, and fell near an old wood cabin in a forest.
