A Carnival in Darkness: Part 76

Karin arrives with her limousine to That Man. She stops her limousine next to That Man, opening the door to allow That Man to walk in to the limousine and ride in style. "Come on big hero. I'll take you back to the Golden Palace where we can celebrate your victory. Your loyal subjects await."

Genesis immediately followed the limousine that took That Man back to the Golden Palace. He kept on following That Man wanting to learn more about this great hero.

Hamtaro stops his dancing as now the hamsters had something to really celebrate, Howdy was back. Hamtaro watches the limousine take That Man back to the Golden Palace and Hamtaro runs over to Axl, hoping that Axl will join the celebration in the Golden Palace.

Oxnard thinks that Axl should have a limousine to ride back to the Golden Palace. So he and all the hamsters that were good with carpentry and fixing things began working hard until working as a team all the hamsters created a large chariot for Axl to sit and ride in while the hamsters carried him back to the Golden palace with That Man.

"Ken, welcome back." Charlie offers his hand to help Ken stand back up. The threat to earth was finally over and it was thanks to That Man.

"Death sure does suck. So That Man won? Awesome!" Ken shakes hand with Charlie as he was so happy to be alive again. Even better news for Ken was that there was going to be a big party and Ken had to run after the limousine to the Golden Palace. Ken passed by Genesis thinking that he was another huge fan of That Man and who wouldn't be after That Man saved the world. "I got to make sure that there is going to be plenty of booze and loud music at the party."

Outside the Golden Palace all the Duel Monsters waited patiently for the limousine to arrive with That Man as they had worked very hard to make the Golden Palace look perfect for the celebration of the hero that saved the world.

Vega could not stop yodeling and flipping as he was extremely happy to see all his Vega fans back alive! Now he plans to have the biggest and best party ever in the Golden Palace for That Man.

************************

That Man would be very surprised as he was taken inside of a Limo and would be driven back to his Golden Palace. Still not entirely able to just accept this kind of treatment from others, he would still be appreciative and thank all of those who did such kind things for him.

As the Limo arrived at the Golden Palace, That Man would slowly make his way out without the help of others and holds out his hands as the sunlit sky began to turn to a fine nighttime sky with stars shining brightly above. Adding to all of the fabulous decorations already put onto the palace with tables of food for everyone and many drinks to make sure that everyone could celebrate.

Wanting to show his thanks as well for how well he was accepted by the people of this time.

Axl gave a hearty chortle as he saw what the hamsters made for him, finding it pretty adorable and crafty of all of them to make such a thing. Getting inside of it and accepting the ride to go back to the Golden Palace with That Man, who Axl was going to try and talk to somemore now in hopes of figuring out more things about his future and how he could completely solve his time-warping.

In a quick flash of light, Raven had disappeared and reappeared a few feet infront of Sol Badguy who obviously didn't look very happy. "Sol...It would be best of you to simply give up this fight against That Man. The people of this time care for him and wouldn't ever allow you to kill him...After all, you have no true power here. You cannot stand up to the great power of That Man."

"Tch...Shut up..." Sol would only say that to Raven as he stood up and kicked Raven harshly in the stomach, sending him flying a couple of feet away. "Go back to That Man and tell him to get ready, cause I'm gonna come and get him one of these days..." All would be said in a gruff tone of voice as Sol pulled out a box of cigarettes and would light one up. Starting to smoke so casually now.

************************

"The hero is finally here!" Dan shouted loudly as he began rolling in circles near the front entrance of the Golden Palace to welcome That Man where he will have a hero's welcome and a mighty big party in his honor. "Three cheers for our savior!"

As soon as Hamtaro sees that Axl has taken a comfortable seat in the chariot, Hamtaro runs to the front of the chariot. He directs all the hamsters behind him as he grabs and pulls the chariot with all the hamsters. Hamtaro pulled with all the hamsters making sure that Axl would be able to travel at a fast enough rate to get to the Golden Palace but still be comfortable to enjoy the scenery as he was being taken there in class.

Oxnard who was also a very strong hamster pulled the chariot as hard as he could until it was all worth it and Axl had finally arrived to the door steps of the Golden Palace. The chariot came to a gentle halt and Axl was allowed to walk out of the chariot and in to the Golden Palace to join the party.

Sailor Pluto smiles but she knew that there will be more dangers for That Man to face later on. However she is sure that That Man will be able to live up to his legend of being a hero and she will hang around because she knows that Sol will make another appearance and the next one won't be as friendly. She walks to the Golden Palace but stays outside to keep a look out.

James runs to the kitchen of That Man's palace and puts on an apron as he begins to cook a great feast for That Man and everyone in the Golden Palace. He will make this the best masterpieces he has ever cooked. James turned on the oven and threw a big bag of Pikachus inside to start.

Genesis was sure glad that the limousine finally stopped as he was almost out of breath chasing the limousine. Genesis runs after That Man as he walks to the Golden Palace and then collapse right in front of his feet holding a pen and big poster of That Man showing him as hero. Everyone had posters of That Man in their room to admire him and to give everyone hope where he came from. "Please. Your honor. Please can I have your autograph."

"WOBBUFFET!" Wobbuffet runs over to hug That Man as soon many pokemon came over to give That Man a huge group hug almost suffocating him with their good intentions and gratitude.

Dan sees all the pokemons hugging That Man so he rolled over and gave That Man a big saikyo hug. "Welcome back great hero! YAHOOOOOIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEJIIIIIIIIOOOOOOO!!!!!"

************************

As That Man now would slowly make his way toward the Golden Palace after he made sure that the palace looked fine and everything was finely outfitted for all of the many people who were celebrating alongside of him.

No idea at all what the next threat could be to the earth, but That Man would of course be prepared to protect and save the people who he so wanted to help. That Man looking now to those who he was closest to as he saw that Sailor Pluto was looking around and keeping an eye out for Sol.

"Sailor Pluto, you do not have to worry, if and when Frederick comes for me, I will fight him off. He is a powerful man but his mind is too clouded by his anger toward me. That is why I do not fear him and why no one else should fear him killing me. Frederick is mostly talk, and has always been even when we were younger." That Man said with a smile as he began to walk toward a table to grab a glass of some of the finest wine being served to the many guests.

The hero himself bowing back to those who bowed to him and gently returned the hugs of those who came up to him for one.

Now looking down to Genesis as he collapsed infront of his feet. Shaking his head as he places a robed hand on Genesis' shoulder. "You do not have to bow to me, Genesis. I am no more of a hero than all of those who surround us. We all survived and that is what makes a hero. We stood up to the fear and survived..." He'd say as he took the poster and gave it a fine signature for Genesis to keep.

Axl was filled with happiness as he finally arrived with all of his friendly hamsters, a smile on his face the entire time.

"Hey little buddies, let's all go and get something to eat...Looks like That Man really went all out with the party goods." Axl said with a chortle as That Man had laid out many tables of food, though none of them would be as great as what James could prepare, the food would all still make fine appetizers for everyone to enjoy as there was wine, soda, chips, hot dogs and all that could be expected.

All sorts of snacks for every palette, especially some for the hamsters seeing as there were many bowls of sunflower seeds.

After such a swift kick in the stomach, Raven would only cough as he got back up to his feet and turned his body into a few hundred ravens which would begin to fly in the direction of the Golden Palace so that he could remain close to That Man's side.
