What do you think? I was going to go chapter by chapter but that would have taken too long!

I would love to do that Aquilai, in fact, I did the same thing when for the RAFparodies.  But then it got so long it wasn't feasible (50,000 character limit, I think).  Then again, probably won't be 767 books . . .

'Nother chapter, methinks.  The last chapter of this book.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE:
Rest For Weary RAFians

Within a few hours, the RAFians made it home.  The others were eager to hear what happened, but Richard forbade them from asking until the weary RAFians had had some rest.  Cloak was moved to his thread where he slept straight through eight or nine days.  He had used up a lot of his energy, and Parker was right, he nearly destroyed himself in order to do it.  But Cloak told the others nothing of the sort.  He didn't want them labeling him as obstinate, which he knew full well that he was, as his mother before him.  Let the others tell the story, Cloak decided.

When Cloak was rested enough, he went out onto the grounds.  He took in the beautiful sight of RAF.  He knew how often they had fought to stay here, but it was well worth the fights.  During his leisurely stroll, he noticed Parker beneath an old, gnarled yew tree.  His arms were around his knees, and his helmet was off.  His face showed that he was deep in thought.  So much so, that he did not notice Cloak's approach nor presence.  Not initially.

"Oh, you're up." he said, standing up, brushing off his armor.  He held his helment loosely in his left hand.

"Yes," Cloak said, then he narrowed his eyes shrewdly.  "You've been here for the last few days."

"Who told you?"

"You did.  Just now."

Parker sighed, looking just very awkward now.

"Does this have something to do with that Star Sapphire?"

Parker heaved another sigh, "You're perceptive."

Cloak said nothing, waiting for Parker to continue.

"Remember when I said a girl got between me and Loose Cannon?" Parker asked.

Cloak nodded, and replied, "That was her, wasn't it?"

"Yeah," Parker answered.

"You still have feelings for her."

Parker looked shocked at this.  "Uh, n-no!  Not at all!"

"I can tell you're lying."

"Damn Earthsight." Parker cursed.

"That, and the fact you've been here for the last eight days."

***

Meanwhile, in some unknown shadowy place, a figure emerges.  She was Malice and she looked very amused.

"Amazing . . ." she said in a quiet voice but a dangerous tone.  "You're very much like your grandfather, Cloak.  It's a pity, really.  You Elements Masters and your insufferable morals.  But that's the fun of it, I suppose, to yank and twist and manipulate and irritate you.  Heroes always fall, at least once.  Later, dear little cat, I will cause you to suffer, to rip you away from that which you devote your time with.  But not now.  I have another little test and fun for you. . . ."

Then she vanished with a wicked laugh.

[Blazing Angel]

Happy ending WHEEEEEE!

[Sakki]

Then she vanished with a wicked laugh.

Why is it when I read that I pictured her doing:

[Darth Revan]

Ooo... an opening for another plot line. Haha, I get to date a Violet Lantern.

[Cloak]

Oh, Parker . . . did you honestly think it would be so easy?

I post the first chapter of Book XI soon.

[Darth Revan]

Hell no; but the courting sessions, I'm sure, will be life threatening and hot. Each dodging each other's shots until out of ammo/juice then insane make out session follows! Mr & Mrs Smith-style! I get to be Brad Pitt.

[Cloak]

Well I was gonna put in the first chapter, but APPARENTLY my computer decided it would be funnier to make me go back a page!!

BOOK XI:
The Knights of Humanity
Chapter One:
RAFAwards Night

The RAFians were gathering into the Bored Board's auditorium, who had their brownish-red curtains curtains closed.  Richard wore a suit that accented his features perfectly, Goom wore a simple bowtie (although how he tied it without hands was a mystery), Cloak and Shadow wore their very best cloaks (Cloak's was black and Shadow's was a royal purple color), Parker's armor was polished to a lusterous degree, Gaz's fangs were glistening, Sakki's VOLCAROID body was so shiny it was reflective, Ash had the form of a fashion diva, Rad was dressed in a modest regal manner, Aquilai looked very much like David Tennent for some reason, Dino had some how sharpened her claws and spikes, Blaze looked just plain formal in his suit, Blocky had plucked any scales that stuck out, and Noelle's tail was immaculate and her hooves sharpened.  Even Estelore was there, though in a sunshine yellow evening dress with hair falling over her in curls.

Blue and Demos were standing up there, and like the others they were dressed in their RAFian finest.  Blue was in a powder blue suit, and Demos was in a violently fiery red silk suit.

When the ceremony began, Blue and Demos prepared their song --

"We’ve got mega-hits unlike that lame Fred the Show.
Just a little boy from Nebraska who made us all say “Wow”.
With a voice that makes you just want to go out and kill a cow.

Here’s the plain situation.
A simple declaration.
If you want it you can find it on RAF!

We’ve got the RAFparodies on number sevenhundred and a half,
Featuring the antics of everybody on RAF.
Who reminds us that a parody doesn’t have to make you laugh.

You can try to deny it.
But we can certify it.
If you want it, you can find it on RAF!

And if you’re starting to crave a brand-new thread thrill . . .
Demos is always brewing up some monster swill!
Like the guy from "Cavemen".
Totally Random Thoughts was once a network that was irreverent and clean,
But, today, they got some chapters that are remarkably obscene.
Like the post with the little boy who lives with Almighty Queen.

Oh, there ain’t nothing to it.
You can sit down and do it.
If you want it, you can find it on RAF!

GESP has a lineup that’s refreshing and alive.
With its thread just continuing to thrive.
And those RPers look sensational for being sixty-five!

No, we’re not trying to oversell ya.
We really want to tell ya.
If you want it, you can find it on RAF!

Now, Intro Randomness is having trouble staying in the race.
So I hear they’re bringing it back to save a little face.
And I hear Isiah Washington is takin’ Cloak’s place?

Oh, you may not adore it,
But you can’t ignore it.
If you want it, you can find it on RAF!

Now, 'Enter RAF' is a fanfic I’d recommend.
Because you never know just how it’s gonna end.

So, up with the curtain,
It’s absolutely certain.
If you want it, you can find it on TV"

The RAFians stood and applauded, as Phoenix took his place at a podium and as Blue and Demos took their seats.  Phoenix went through the RAFAward in very much the same fashion as any award show.*

"Now, the Most Missed RAFian . . ."

---
*Not done.  Just posting so that it doesn't mess me up again.

[Blazing Angel]

For my suit you can simply look to descriptions of Peeta during the hunger games. Simple with some flame accents.

[Cloak]

Yes, that's gonna be the happiest that this book'll probably be, Blaze.

CHAPTER TWO:
Behind Closed Doors

A man stood in shadow, looking at a small screen from what appeared to be a smart phone.  On it, it showed the jubilation of the RAFians and their RAFAwards.  His face was so immersed in shadow, his features were impossible to make out.  But it was clear that his eyes were narrowed.

"Laugh it up, you fiendish freaks," he growled, hatred soaked into every syllable.  "Go ahead, celebrate your imperfections and your fraternizations with monsters and aliens."

Silence greeted these words, because, after all, he was alone.

"Because soon,"  He looked up as he turned the phone off and pocketed it, "soon the Purge will come.  This world will be pure again.  With all those genetic abnormalities and afronts of nature will be gone.  My knights will see to it.  My dream will finally be realized . . . and this world would be safe again."

Then a rectactle of yellow light filled the room from a doorway in back.  The man turned, revealed to be Fmr. General Luis Cannon.  The person standing in the doorway was a gangly kid of sixteen or fifteen, who bore the appearance of a skinhead.  He had the letters "KoH" tattooed on him, like a branding.  He wore it proudly, as if a badge of honor.

"Sire?"

"What is it, Squire Perkins?"

"Sir, we're ready for you."

"Very well," Cannon said, "you may go.  Tell them I'm on my way."

The boy left.  Cannon smiled at the thought of this alien armaggedon, this nonhuman apocalypse.  Then he walked to the door, exited and shut the door with a silent WHOOSH.  Cannon walked out to his "generals" of the militant, xenophobic hate group he had founded -- the "Knights of Humanity".  He had sunk every dime he had into it, and he was quite pleased to find and recruit like-minded others to his cause.  He did not call himself king however, although it was very clear he was the one in charge.

***

Aquilai became aware of the formation of the Knights of Humanity when he came upon a person in the street passing out pamphlets.  Aquilai was quick to notice that he wore all white so much so that he somewhat resembled a hoodless Klansman . . .  Aquilai hid his disgust and displeasure and asked the twenty-something for a flyer, intending to show the other RAFians.  He was very careful not to show his Mark, because that would surely give his intentions away.

The "Knight" eyed Aquilai very carefully and severely.  Fortunately, Time Lords resemble humans on the outside, so the Knight couldn't distinguish any "impurities".  So, he handed Aquilai the flyer, and Aquilai speed off to RAF.

[Blazing Angel]

Racists. Why did it have to be racists?

Also, I do not buy a suit unless it doubles as a giant fightin robot. *prays he'll accept this*

[Cloak]

Nope, sorry, Blaze.  That's Parker's schtick.  Besides, that sword I gave you is more than enough weaponry.

[Noelle]

This looks like it's going to be a really interesting book. 

[DinosaurNothlit]

Oooh, interesting.  This kinda reminds me of X-men, with the 'anti-mutant' sentiment.  Can't wait to read more.

P.S. Thanks for the plug!

[Darth Revan]

It's funny, when I read "KoH", I immediately thought of Kingdom of Hearts.


Interesting storyline Cloak. This will prove to be fun I'm sure.
