Every inch of the town was charred. Someone or something had set the town ablaze and left no survivors. As soon as Ken's Yaoi senses had alerted him to the destruction, he and his posse made a 3-day journey to the ruined town, in case this carnage was the work of the arch fiend, Mogomra. The scent of death filled the air. Ken, Resumama, Mr. B, and Noodles all smelled it. "I think I'm gonna be sick," said Noodles. "Would you quit whining?" said Mr. B, "As a Bishouna Ferret, I have a sense of smell ten times as keen as yours, and you don't hear me complaining. Speaking of my superior senses, I detect something else in the air, though I can't put my finger on it..." "Look out!" shouted Resumama, pointing at the sky, where a small aircraft, heading in their direction, seemed to be attempting an emergency crash landing. Everyone immediately took cover except for Noodles, whose reaction was like that of a deer in the headlights. The damaged flying machine made a quick descent to the ground, where it skidded for about fifteen yards before slowing to a halt inches away from Noodles. Some pieces of the roof of the Kohlingen Inn fell off of the Gear. Ken, Resumama, and Mr. B all got up to look at the craft. It's pilot emerged, shaken, but not injured. "Who are you?" said Resumama. "My name is Vincent. Say, do you know what happened here?" "I was about to ask you the same thing," said Resumama. "Whatever it was, I just hope I wasn't responsible." "What do you mean?" said Ken. "Well, you see, lately I've learned that I am under a curse that has been causing me to be indirectly responsible for bad things happening." "That's a bummer," said Ken, "but I doubt that you are responsible for this in any way. This looks to me like the work of my arch enemy, Mogomra." "So what are you, some kind of superhero?" asked Vince. "Well, sort of," said Ken, flexing his muscles. Resumama rolled her eyes. "I'm Ken Yousei, the Yaoi Beard Man. These are my friends Resumama, Noodles, and Mr. Bishounen." "LOL," said Vince, "What are you, friends of Jaana's" "There's that name again," said Ken. "This Jaana must really get around..." said Resumama, under her breath. "Anyway," said Vince, "I could use your help. The reason I landed in Mobliz was because in this town is the second of three seals I have to break to lift my curse. When I went to break the first one, there was a some sort of robot guarding it. Luckily, I was able to get away without having to fight it, but this time I might not get so lucky." "So you want us to help you beat this robot?" "Yeah," said Vince. "Sure," said Ken. "Wait a minute," said Mr. B., "You can't just volunteer the rest of us to do dangerous favors for every jerk you meet. We're supposed to be tracking down Mogomra right now, anyway." "And that's exactly why I think we should help him," said Ken, "Mogomra might have something to do with all this. We should look into it. So, Vincent, where do you think this seal might be located?" "Underground somewhere," said Vincent, "We've just got to find an entrance."

Since the town had burned to the ground, the mesh wiring which covered the entrance was easily visible, poking out of the ground where a house used to exist on top of it. Ken was able to pull apart the mesh with his Yaoi strength. "Get ready for a battle now," said Vincent. The five interdimensional travelers causiously crept down the cold metal staircase. Not long after they reached the bottom, they could hear the heavy, mechanical footfalls of the hanger's guardian. Vince, YBM, Resumama, Noodles, and Mr. B stood in their battle stances. The hulking mass of metal pointed it's machine gun arm at the intruders. "YAOI PROTECTION!" shouted Ken. The guardian fired several rounds, but they were deflected by a magical bubble which protected the four humans, and the ferret. Not programmed to deal with such things, the guardian just kept on firing. After a few minutes, Ken was becoming exhausted. Finally, he just could not keep the sheild up any more. Luckily though, that was the same time that the guardian finally ran out of ammo. Then, the war machine retracted it's gun arm. In it's place appeared a large blade. The robot charged toward it's targets. Trying to escape it, they all ran off in various directions. Vince fired his machine gun at it, but it only made the equivalent of 'flesh wounds.' Ken attempted a few Yaoi techniques on it, but he was too drained from from the force field to do much damage now. He passed out. Ken.... Who are you? Ken, you are forgetting the ways of the true Yaoi. What? Master Kzaosu? A Yaoi Beard Man's true power lies not in his physical strength, but in his courage and determination. Now, go save your friends! Ken came to, he saw that the Guardian had cornered his companions, and was about to hit them with his blade. "Hey you!" Ken screamed at behemoth automaton. It stopped and turned its head. "Yeah you!" said Ken, "You wanna piece of me? Come here and get it!" The machine decided to accept Ken's challenge. It charged towards him. 'Crud, what do I do now?' Ken thought. The robot swung at him. He was able to dodge that, and he started to run. Then he tripped. He saw the killing machine looming above him. It raised its blade arm. Ken closed his eyes, waiting for the darkness to come. He heard a loud noise, and realized that he wasn't dead. He opened his eyes to see the smoldering remains of the Guardian laying on the floor. He saw that Vince was piloting another Gear, which he had used to destroy the Guardian. "Thanks for providing the distraction," said Vince. "No problem," said Ken, "That's exactly what I was trying to do." "Yeah, right," said Resumama. "Now let's break that seal," said Vince, hopping out of the gear. They went to the room which housed the cylindar which contained the seal. "I think I've regained enough of my Yaoi power to destroy that," said Ken. He then unleashed a Yaoi Flame attack onto the seal, shattering it. "Hey! What's that? It looks like a book," said Mr. B. Ken picked up the book which had fallen from the seal. "It's the Necronomicon Ex Mortis!" said Ken. "I'm scared," said Noodles. Resumama closed her eyes, trying to think of something. "Turan!" she said. "Wha?" said Ken. "Turan, that half-human, half-whatever guy. He must have broken the seal and found a Necronomicon in that other place that other hanger!" "Gee whiz! I think you're right," said Ken, "Now that you mention it, I remember that when we mentioned the Necronomicon around him, he acted kind of funny..." "Illicit substances!" said Mr. B. "What?!" said everyone else in unison. "That's what I smelled in the air out there, drugs. But there was something else too... highly flammable oil! That's what caused the fire!" "Why would Mogomra need to use oil to burn down a town?" said Noodles. "That's the point," said Mr. B, "Mogomra didn't do this. We've got to go back to Vector, to get the book away from Turan, in case he finds a way to cast Ultimate Majick, or to stop Mogomra from getting the book from him." "What do we do with this Necronomicon?" said Vince. "I say we leave it here and once we leave, we bury the entrance. They did so, and then went their separate ways. YBM and friends went to Vector to see exactly how much Turan knew, and Vince went to Southvale to break the last seal.
