And so we have a tale to tell, a tale of 4 gamers who on one volcanic ash induced quiet night decided to begin a quest over the internet to achieve a prize known only as Annual. These four brave warriors who embarked that day knew not what Annual entirely was, though they had heard tall tales that it could only be found by doing the final level of the game Halo 3 using only Ghosts as veichles whilst experiencing the pain known as Iron...One young warrior who was "willing" to go suddenly bowed out with what appeared to be "stomach cramps" the others merely rolled their eyes and grabbed a young boy known as Goldenboko to fulfill his role knowing little how this fateful quest would challenge everything from their skills to their sense of humour to their friendship.
And so our four warriors brave, Iceglow, Aeriths Knight, Northernchaosgod and Goldenboko set forth:
Their initial bravery left many dead in their path, little did they know it was just beginning (featuring: Iceglow as Master Chief, Goldenboko as Arbiter, Northernchaosgod as maroon elite and Aerith's Knight as blue elite and dead flood as dead flood)
Finally after many fights, some of which seemed to play out exactly the same way as the previous battle they managed to get past the tower where they defeated a former friend Guilty Spark in battle. Iceglow proved the key to this path finding mission having located the ghosts and guided the remaining party members slowly but surely around the mountain path avoiding the sheer drops on either side. The riders had to now face a quick passage through a tower cut in to the mountainside of this new Halo. The final chambers proved to be the toughest, as they splattered their way to it they noticed, 5 carrier forms in a direct line "No choice, AK you'll just have to gun it!" Iceglow cried out as AK lined up, AK obligated by gunning through splattering 4 out of the 5 however their explosive bodies launched and twisted his Ghost throwing him clear, seeing his friend about to get overwhelmed and knowing it was risk everything on a second charge or fail, Iceglow charged...
(SPOILER)Dennis, I have a bone to pick with you, remember you said "oh you blew my ghost half to hell!" at me like 200 times? Yeah take a bloody look at the picture, the enemy carrier forms blew your ghost I simply saved your life with a gamble that worked...never doubt my tactics again
The party pressed on hard and fast, AK although his Ghost was severely wounded by the mean treatment it received in the mountain passes kept on pressing forwards recklessly leaving his partners behind. When they eventually caught up with him and had a go at him he said and I quote "Oh if that path doesn't work for you, find another, theres always a path" he kept on insisting that there was even when produced with multiple arguments saying he was wrong...
So tell me AK, is there really always a path? I don't think sosomewhere in this image is 3 dead specs, those specs are: Me, Goldenboko and NCG, I rest my case on this.
Eventually the brave fellowship of Towntwinkles found its soul and began to work once more as a team should with communication and teamwork the occassional nudge here and push there secured many a ghost mere seconds before it would plummet to it's gory death below for if one failed they all failed. This didn't stop accidents from occuring such as this huge piece of masonry falling on Iceglow's head:
Then came perhaps their biggest challenge and their most mighty failure, the kamakazi express...no words describe this test of their deepest humours so heres some pictures...
for once we were perfectly spaced, perfectly lined up...
however seen from this angle, things was always gonna end badly...
NCG says HI! to the void...
Yeah, um we did say it wasn't going to end well didn't we?
Iceglow however still reeling from the masonry falling on top of his head took this opportunity to scream "I'm on top of the world!" at this point:
Then he realized, actually no he wasn't but he was concussed and therefore rightfully confused that he was suddenly joining the others in a skydive without a parachute...
Eventually though, through all the tantrums and the betrayals (SPOILER)Dennisour intrepid team finally hit the home straight, where fearing another death the lot of them screamed "GUN IT CHIEF!" at the same time as Cortana did...
And so our intrepid heroes had finally done it, they'd achieved it, NCG however had been tightlipped about much of the mission turns out he had already gotten it...he neglected to mention to AK (thankfully so otherwise the crazy dutchie might not have joined in) that Annual was actually worthless...
THE END.
