The Sorcerers

Walternate Universe AAGM-44
                    WW-1234
                    UCCW-6291
                    EOW-88Z
                    And a buttload of others too many to list

      
Hundreds of zeppelins fill the night sky all around the city
Their search lights scan the dark and lonely streets below
Television screens on empty shops tell an entire country
Invaders are there for a government overthrow

The plaza in front of the presidential palace is heavily guarded
The steps are filled with armed soldiers with a watchful eye
Tonight, they are celebrating their Supreme Leader’s birthday
For after the parade tomorrow the whole world will be terrified

The entire army will arrive in the morning
Their planes will fly by and fill the sky
The industrial complex has built a war machine
The Supreme Leader wants to be glorified

“Put your earpiece on” the Exiled said “it connects to the brace”
As I found a small box inside the pocket of the Magnificent suit
“They’re kind of bullet proof” the Magnificent said looking ahead
“The suits?” I asked as the police and army started to shoot

The Master, the Magnificent, the Exiled, my Alter Ego and I
Started opening dozens and dozens of portals to other worlds
Jumping back and forth into this universe at different locations
The armed men looked confused as they got tossed and hurled

The Magnificent was the first to open a huge portal
Hurling a circle at a squadron who just stood their ground
Upon seeing them disappear the others took cover and tried to hide
But the Exiled appeared behind and sent them outside of town

My Alter Ego and I had the same idea and jumped to the top of the steps
From behind them we lunged four portals to worlds like rovers
“I sent them to Zombie lands” I said, “Where did you send yours” I asked
“Can’t tell you just yet” WAE replied “not until NaPoWriMo is over”

The Exiled and the Master joined us at the top of the stairs quickly
We teleported to inside the palace where chaos had already started
The Magnificent was hovering like a ghost as security chased him
And the guests ran for their lives wildly like they had all sharted

“Let’s split up” the Exiled said as we ducked and took cover
“The braces say our alternate is somewhere in this palace”
“Why would they keep him here?” I asked as a bullet whizzed by
All four looked at me but I was realizing the Dictator’s malice

We teleported from room to room, sending soldiers to their doom
I kept sending more to Zombie lands then I saw one I didn’t know
“WAE” I asked over the earpiece “what’s that universe log I keep seeing?”
“I’ll tell you after NaPo…” he said “bro you really don’t want to know”

“I found him” the Magnificent and within a second we were all there
Our alternate here had been tortured and beaten to near death
He was emaciated and they had amputated his right arm at the elbow
He was on a table and when he saw our faces he cried trying to catch his breath

But when the Exiled arrived I could see something in his eyes
There was a rage in him, a murderous look in his face
“We got to get him out of here” WAE said as we picked him up
The Exiled said “Then we’re going to burn down this fucking place”…
